If I had a euro for every handbag video I watched on YouTube, I would be incredibly rich!

Y’all know I love me a handbag… it’s been a few years now and the Louis Vuitton Neverfull has stolen my heart. So a few things…I’m usually not interested in ‘it’ bags. The ones that everyone has… never interest me, but even though I was brainwashed by this bag… I loved it. The design is simple, chic and so practical. I love the fact that the bag can hold so much. But let’s be honest, we girls always overpack our bags, it’s not always easy to find something small. But none the less it didn’t put me off. About a month before Christmas I took the leap and bought a Samorga Organiser for the bag. The Samorga site offers a huge variety of organisers for bags from many brands in a rainbow of different colours.

A side note, something I was aware of, it takes FOREVER to get to you!

I would say the only negative I can think off about the Neverfull MM (Medium) is that when filled it can be a little black hole like. But the Samorga organiser does away with this and makes it a dream to use. I’ve included more photos in my Instagram Highlights, here.

Are you a fan of organising your handbag?

I started the I Heart Handbags series here, because I freakin’ love them. I have talked about my love for the Chanel brand before. Going to 31, Rue Cambon, was on my bucket list for so long and a glorious blogger highlight of last year! Whether your a fan of the brand or not, you couldn’t be disappointed with a visit.  So anyone that saw on my Instagram, here, I had no idea. (I mean I knew Chanel’s Cruise Collection was showcasing the Square Mini Flap handbag, but I’d no idea…that Santa was going to leave me one…I was obviously a very good girl!  In the excitement, I almost started opening it, without my phone in hand…I mean imagine I’d forgotten to take photos. I tried to fix it back as best I could.  You can imagine the reserved, poised reaction I gave… NOT! I was squealing, snorting, laughing I almost cried!  I mean look at her… it’s true love people! The Chanel Mini flap, comes in ‘Square’ or ‘Rectangular’. They hold exactly the same volume of things when packed correctly. Strangely the Chanel Small double flap bag…(the original) holds a similar amount. The Square flap has the cutest dimensions (6.7″W x 5.2″H x 3.1″D). It sits a little higher on my body than the rectangular flap, when I wear it cross body, but I have that option (i.e. Height wise I resemble a hobbit). The bag has a pale Gold hardware and it’s so subtly Gold, you could even think it’s silver in certain lights. 

The mini flap bag has all the trimmings of the Classic at almost half the price. Chanel operate price increases annually, making it an investment piece. I have no intention of ever selling her though… its love… tell me what Santa left you in the comments?

So I’d really like to thank Louis Vuitton for partnering for this post! 

Yeah right! 

Ah we can dream… to be a hundred percent clear, I bought this with my own money that I worked hard for! HA! But wait til you see her. I have always wanted a mini pouchette, I mean it even fits in the Chanel mini flap bag. It’s that cute.  Ok ok… I need to calm myself. But such is my excitement.  Before I say another word… a little back story! These Christmas Limited Edition illustrated mini pochettes are nearly impossible to get your hands on. I went in store to register my interest in AUGUST! I knew they were hard to get, so I wanted to avoid disappointment.  It’s not an understatement to say I probably rang Louis Vuitton weekly in the month of September…some would call it harassment… I call it perseverance. I didn’t want to be a nuisance, but I also didn’t want to be pochetteless. The result was she’s now mine. Here is the Monogram animated Mini Pochette. There are no words to explain how pretty she is… I originally wanted the Damiar Ebene to match my Louis Vuitton Speedy, but it was impossible to get. (For the geeks like myself the Damiar Ebene has a red band (sea) along the bottom and I prefer the pink. Ah for anyone following my Instagram I apologise in advance. I used it straight away. I put in my card holder, tablets and hair clips. I put it straight into Céline Nano. What do you think of it? What should I keep in it?
