Michael Kors Jet Set Travel Small Black Cross Body Bag Review

After selling my two of my Rebecca Minkoff Morning after Clutch (Mini Macs) handbags, I decided I wanted a handbag that was simple in style and that would go with most items that I wear. So I decided to go the Michael Kors Jet Set Travel Small cross body bag in black with gold hardware.

After doing my research, I found this handbag on the House of Frasers website and it seemed the only place in the UK that seem to stock the bag because everywhere else was sold out. It does come in three colours at the moment blue, red and black, I really hope they bring it in out in their class brown colour with silver hardware. It took a few days to arrive however; I was a little disappointed that it didn't come with a dust bag to keep it in. I did contact the company and they told me this was how Michael Kors has sent it to them.



Unlike the Rebecca Minkoff Morning after clutch bags, the main strap is adjustable and only a small part of the bag strap where it meets the body of the bag contains chain. Whereas the main thing that annoyed me the most about the Rebecca Minkoff bags was that the strap was mainly made out of chain, which when using the bag made it very noisy every time you put the bag and I think it was just because chain straps don't really suit my lifestyle. Other than that, I think her handbags are perfect for people looking for a designer handbag that is not too expensive and they do come in a wide range of colours. Looking at the both bags I feel that they both have the same amount of space inside them however the Michael Kors bag is a lot more bigger in size.



Other Features of the bag:

  • Gold hardware
  • Logo on front of bag, zip and strap adjuster
  • Adjustable strap
  • One phone and other side pocked inside at the front of the bag
  • Large back slip pocket inside the back of the bag
  • 24cm Long, 16cm high
  • Michael Kors lining inside the bag

Nica Brown Bird Cross Body Handbag

One of my obsessions in life is handbags, anyone who knows me knows how addicted to handbags I can be and lately I been doing really well this year in not buying any, however when I saw this Nica handbag I just had to add it to my collection. For a while now, I was looking for a Nica cross body bag because my Accessorize bag had started to see better days. Everywhere I go I see people with these bags and I love how these bags are designed to be stylish but are still very practical.

Last week I noticed on the TK Max website, they have started stocking the brand Nica and they didn't seem to have much of a selection online so I decide to take a look in store. For me, TK Max can be a bit hit and miss however hanging in the brown bag section was this cross body Nica bag, only one of them was left and I felt it was just meant to be. I noticed that the bag also came in a baby pink colour and a few other Nica bags in different designs but I have to stop myself getting carried away. I don't know a lot about the brand but I believe this bag was from a few seasons ago because they seem to have now changed the logo on their bags. 


The bag is made out of soft fake leather with a adjustable strap to adjust the length of the bag and inside it contains a bright coloured lining with a inside zip compartment and side pocket. It perfectly sized to fit in all your essentials and is perfect if you don't want to carry a lot with you. Nica bags usually range from £25-£55, and I pick this up for £16.99 what I thought was amazing price.
