Paul’s boutique handbag collection
I love bags, I love shoes and sunglasses and bags. I don’t use many accesories but a nice, unique bag makes me feel more put together, and you can never have too many! This is a post all about my Paul’s boutique bag collection.
I first fell in love with Paul’s boutique bags in London, 2014 when I was walking around Oxford Circus and entered a huge TOPSHOP store where not only did I find Bubble tea and Cupcake stands but there was a display of gorgeous looking bags and wallets. I was looking at every single one of them trying to decide what to get, should I get a wallet, or a bag, or both what color, what style? I finally decided on an amazing wallet with neutral outsides and a bright red inside (no picture because I left it in Slovenia), which is one of Paul’s boutique little surprises in many of their designs.
In this post I am going to show you all the styles of Paul’s boutique bags that I have purchased throughout the years and what fits in each bag. All of these styles of bags are available most of the time, they just change the designs.
Casey Backpack in Grey
This was my second Paul’s boutique purchase and my most loved bag, after this one I became a little obsessed. I found this backpack in the Netherlands a store called V&D that is sadly closed now.
This backpack comes with 3 detachable straps, 2 of them you can use if you need a backpack and if you remove those and attach a third one you can actually wear this as an over the shoulder bag, how great is that! This backpack can carry surprisingly alot:
I can comfortably fit in my watter bottle, an umbrella, my wallet, sunglasses, keys, phone, headphones, lipbalm, tangle teezer and a hand cream woooow! It’s great if you’re going out for a day in the city, or if you travel by bike often (and I do that alot now, living in the Netherelands).
Nicole Cross Body Bag Black Lancaster
I love the design on this one <3, you can wear it cross body or just remove the long strap and grab it by the handle! This one has a little peak-a-boo action going on, when you open it you see orange, I really enjoy details like that.
Althought I love this bag I don’t wear it too often as it doesn’t realy fit everything I would normaly need in a day. It would be great if you’re heading for a night out (hahaha yea I’m too old for that) or if you just don’t like to carry much around.
It can fit an Ipad and a phone, plus your wallet (you could save some space by only bringing a small wallet or just using the zipped compartment on the inside to store your cards and cash.
Bethany Bag Lancaster White
This one is not really my style color wise, I do love the white but the finish is too shiny for my liking so I don’t find myself wearing it very often. I wish I would have bought this design in a different style, maybe a backpack (they had this design in the Casey bag <3), at least I could get alot more use out of it.
It also comes with an over the shoulder detachable strap, and here you can see two different ways that you could rock this bag, clipped (above) or unclipped (below), sadly the clips on mine were not holding at all, I could barely even take a picture before they would snap back open. Another thing to mention is that this bag can never close entirely so be aware if you plan on taking it out in the rain-I had to learn that the hard way.
It has the same orange inside as the Nicole bag, as they were part of the same collection, which is another thing I love about this brand. They make new collections often, and they make new designs but keep the well loved styles of bags or sometimes they introduce an entirely new style! So it’s never boring browsing their website.
Here is what fits inside the Bethany bag:
Again, careful with electronics and books if you plan on walking in the rain, yes you might think an umbrella would solve that problem…it doesn’t, rain is a b****.
Betsy Bag Stingray Soft Pink
Just love. Amazing bag that got me many compliments, I love the color and the texture, it has polka dots on the inside and ofcourse I also had to have a wallet to go with 🙂
This bag fits alot, more than any other bag in my collection, but that means it gets super heavy and I would not want to wear it walking around the whole day. It would be great to take to work or university, because you can fit your laptop and your books, plus so much more:
Now on to the latest two additions to my collection, so fresh I didn’t even had a chance to take them out for a walk!
Zoe Bag in Black
The perfect office bag, I’m testing it out tomorrow at a career fair! I choose this bag because of its size, and the super long handles, perfect for on the shoulder. It’s a classic black with a pop of bright blue.
This bag has a magnetic closure, but the sides are still exposed, like little rain catchers. It’s very structured and quite narrow but let’s see what it can fit:
The folder comes up in between the magnetic closure, but the rest fits nicely in the bag, I’m sure I could throw in a little A5 notepad for tomorrows career fair.
Maisy Bag Quilted Dusty Pink
This must be one of the classic Paul’s boutique bag styles. I don’t really have any excuses as to why I got this bag, but I was admiring the design since it came out and then….they had a sale so….what more can I say.
It’s just so pretty, it comes with an extra strap so you can wear it over the shoulder. 
It has a gray inside, with a zip pocket and a phone pocket. This bag is very narrow and this is what I could comfortably fit inside:
Overview
Overall you can find that the bags all have a zip pocket on the inside and the phone pocket, alot of the bags have different ways to wears them, extra straps, very versitile. Some even come with bag accesories, for an extra flair. Sometimes they come with a dust bag, but for some reason I did not get a dust bag with my last two bags. They are very well structured and don’t collapse when they are empty. They have beautiful designs, and keep adding new ones so good luck buying just one haha. I buy most of my bags during sales that they have a few times a year, that gives me a chance to pick up more bags! But if you find a bag you just must have I suggest buying it straight away as they could sell out and then it’s goodbye for ever.
Let me know in the comments if you have a bag from Paul’s boutique, or what your favorite bag brand is! I would also like to know which one of my bags if your favorite?
Thank you for reading! xxx
