melie bianco :: affordable luxury handbags {giveaway}

Posted on October 12, 2011May 18, 2017 by Shannon

I will do my best to describe this item, but I’m so excited about it I just may not be able to!  Oh boy do i have something for you all today!  Wahoo! It’s a purse.  Not just any purse, but a luxurious, leather, gorgeous purse! 🙂 You have to head over to Melie Bianco right now to see what they have to offer.  There are SO many fabulous choices I can guarantee you will not be able to decide what you like the best.

I was sent a Miley Hobo and it’s just perfect for me.  It is totally stylish and trendy.  We had a wedding the other day, I brought it and loved it.  I went to the movie with my girlfriend last night (fellow SIMPLE Mom Carinn), brought it and loved it!  I run around daily with my kids, bring it and love it!  Now for all you Moms, yes, this purse is still awesome!  I know all the stuff you have to carry, and I too carry all this.  It fits right int he purse so I don’t have to bring a diaper bag AND my purse when just running out.  Heck, you could probably use this as a diaper bag if you want to justify a new purse purchase!  The only thing that you may miss would be pockets on the interior.  There are a few, but not a lot for organizing.

Here is a little about the company:
Affordable Luxury. That’s the simple philosophy behind the Melie Bianco line. Founded in 2003 by Melissa and William, a husband and wife team, this wildly successful family-owned accessories company has always kept one thing in mind: bringing runway-inspired handbags to the everyday woman.

“I design bags to reflect the season’s trends, but within a budget of women like my sisters,” says Melissa who lives in Los Angeles, where her Melie Bianco line is headquartered. “Women—especially working women—want high-end handbags but at an affordable price.”

The small label began by garnering fans at local boutiques in LA. Word-of-mouth (and purse) grew to find devotees going crazy over stylish designs, top-notch construction and (the best part) prices that were a fraction of other handbags on the market. For handbag lovers shying away from animal-based products, Melie Bianco’s high-quality faux-leather materials were the perfect answer.

Today, Melie Bianco commands a large share of the market for vegan, budget-friendly fashion handbags. Melie Bianco’s designs have been spotted in major fashion magazines like Vogue,  Marie Claire, Glamour, Lucky, Instyle, Oprah, Cosmo Girl, Seventeen, Self, People, and Life & Style among others.

I have to say that I am in LOVE with my new purse.  Every time I have been out of the house with this purse, I have received compliments too.  So it’s not just me who loves it. The detailing is impecable. I love the tassels and the chain detailing – they add the extra “flair”.  The only problem I see with this bag is that I had to only choose ONE color 🙂  There is a pocket inside that I place my cell phone and keys in for easy access.

I fell in love with this purse online, and when I got it in my hands it’s even more gorgeous.  If you are in the market for a new purse, Melie Bianco is your answer! They have other accessories too!!  I would put this purse up against any of the other high end brands, I love it that much!

Miley Hobo :: $98.00
