Happy Monday!
Today is bag review day and I haven’t done a bag review in a while so I’m super excited, this one has been a long time coming! It’s not that I haven’t purchased any new bags in awhile, but more so I haven’t seen any truly NEW bag styles that offered something worthy of a review. I’ve come across some new totes and more classic styles that I “needed” to have but opted not to post. If there is ever a bag that you’re interested in let us know. If I haven’t seen or don’t own the bag, I probably know someone who does!
Now– the HB Plaza Suede Mini bag!! First of all, this bag is gorgeous! Small, but gorgeous, so ladylike and chic! The styling is retro chic and compliments a work week outfit perfectly. Dress it up with any casual LBD for after work drinks or elevate a casual dress down jeans kinda look! Take note, if you carry this bag for work and often need to carry other things, you will need another larger tote to accommodate. This bag holds the essentials, but it’s a “mini” bag, so that’s the point! There is a larger version, which normally would be more my style but I already have a structured top handle bag or two that I love (of course I do ;-)).
The bag is suede with smooth leather trim. It’s secured by a unique HB turn lock closure. The lock when initiated forms the signature HB initials. Fully lined inside, interior pocket and inside pocket with a zipper. Also a slit pocket under the flap. Includes a removable crossbody strap with lovely chain detail. Measures approx. 6″ X 8″ X 3.25″. The Plaza Mini is available in black suede or the lovely color-blocked version.

Henri Bendel Plaza Suede Mini, $350
PROS:
- 100% Suede and Leather
- Decent room inside for your essentials
- Can be carried via top handle or worn as a crossbody with the removable shoulder strap included
- Classic ladylike style you would wear over and over again
CONS:
- The bag is very structured and small – not necessarily a “CON” if mini is what you were looking for!
- You’ll need an extra bag for the rest of your stuff!
Bag Scorecard
Looks: 10; this is a beautiful bag!
Value: 8; I think the price is in line with most other mid-range designer bags
Functionality: 10; great for a small bag!
Extras: 10; I give a 10 here because the team at Henri Bendel Lenox store is awesome, always such a good experience when I go there. The team is super helpful and polite! Makes each shopping trip fun and no stress!
Overall Rating: 38/40; Beautiful, a must-have bag for Fall. If you get nothing else “retro” this season!
