Paulina Carcach Alexa Handbag Review & Giveaway

When we look for handbags we not only look for style but we want great value as well. It’s not hard to find handbags for hundreds and hundreds of dollars, but with the economy as it is, we want more value for our money. It’s most women’s quest (addiction perhaps) to have every color of handbag to match our shoes and outfits and that can be costly. Is there a solution?

Paulina Carcach has created some of the loveliest handbags that are not only feminine, modern and stylish, but they also give you great value. One of their gorgeous handbags is the Alexa.

This satchel features polished plated gold hardware and pleating at the front. Rolled handles, detachable shoulder strap, and top zip main compartment closure. Luxurious Eggplant Calfskin Distress Leather. The leather is Full-grain and it has a beautiful distress texture and pretty polish finish. The interior is fully lined with contrast navy blue satin fabric and features one zip pocket on one side, cellphone pocket and multifunctional pocket on the opposite wall. It has one 22” approx. convertible/detachable shoulder strap, and two top handles that have an approx. 5.5” drop.

Approximate Dimensions: 15″W (38cm) x 12″H (30cm) x 5″D (12cm)

I received the Alexa in eggplant. This is an absolutely gorgeous color. Purples and eggplants seem to always be in style and you must have a least one purple handbag in your collection. The Alexa is a rock star not only for it’s looks and function but also for it’s value. The Alexa is extremely well made and attention is given to details. It has beautiful pleats on the front and back and has studs on the bottom of the purse to protect it from wear. It’s made out of a very soft leather that’s nice and smooth to the touch. The Alexa is a fairly large purse yet not overwhelming. It looks heavy but is surprising light and that’s important to me. Carrying a heavy purse and then loading it with your stuff can fatigue your shoulders. This is what happens to me so I tend to make sure the purse is fairly lightweight before I consider purchasing it. The interior has a beautiful royal blue satin lining with a zipper compartment and two pouches. The handbag is very roomy so you can really pack a lot of things into it. I also really like the shoulder strap, it’s wide enough so it rests comfortably on your shoulder without feeling any pressure. The handles are also comfortable to hold, they are strong and sturdy yet not too bulky in your hand. The style is such that it will be in style for years to come.

Paulina Carcach has a beautiful Spring collection that is a must to view. There are so many beautiful colors to choose from , delicious oranges, eye popping greens, breath taking blues , cheerful yellows and gold and so many more. They also carry sleek and styling belts and diaper bags too. Every handbag is so beautiful I want them all.

Paulina Carcach would like to offer one lucky reader the chance to win an Alexa bag in their choice of color. Thank you very much Paulina.
