Tory Burch Mini Tevin Bag



Several years ago I bought a big black nylon kate spade diaper bag... and I've been carrying around big ol' totes ever since. Even though I don't need to haul around baby gear these days, I still feel most comfortable with a big bag that can hold whatever I (or my children) may need, plus a magazine, book, or my new fav, the ipad.

So the Tevin mini bag was a bit of a departure for me... but there are definitely times when a small crossbody (converts to shoulder bag with double chain straps that pull through) bag is perfect and I am so happy with this one. I particularly like the combination of the casual soft/slightly slouchy bag with a dressy gold chain. The logo is pretty small and discreet compared to many TB items. I've only found this tan color directly from Tory Burch -- and most retailers seem to be sold out online of the colors they carried -- but stores can usually be called directly to order. I've seen it in red at shopbop, green at Nordstrom, and black at Saks.

Oh and it isn't really mini mini... it holds quite a bit. One cell phone pocket and one zip pocket are inside, along with a mirror on a strap. Photo next to the Burch Bombe tote below for size reference.

Here are some pics:






...and I was asked about the pink Burch Bombe (Pop Pink) compared to the pink Miller sandals (Hibiscus Pink), so here's a pic of them together:



Wow... June already, and Summer is right around the corner - hard to believe. We have a super busy week and weekend ahead, (also making plans for a jam packed summer - can't wait for some sun!). I hope everyone is starting out a great week!

  6. I absolutely LOVE this TB mini bag-----the color, the size, the hardware, what a great purchase! Would go with so many outfits, and like you said, it's not really that "mini"---oh, and thank you for taking the shot next to the Miller sandals, since I have those TB sandals, it's nice to know the color contrast. You are right, the bag is much more of a "raspberry" color. Love both of these bags!!

  8. I am really looking forward to summer (you know the real kind with sunchine) and my kids being home.

    The Tevin bag is gorgeous - the chain going through the inside of the bag is really cool.

    ManoloChooLou - the chain doesn't bother me at all - it is nice that the part on top of your shoulder isn't metal.
