Two Madre bags every woman needs to have
Have you ever seen a woman looking so simply put together with a perfect leather bag on her arm? The kinda bag that looks new and perfect but also holds a lot of memories. It’s a woman’s dream to find a quality leather bag that last you a long time, but it’s also our dream to have multiple bags to choose from. Today I will write about 2 Atelier Madre bags every woman should have and how to find the one for you.
Work bag/everyday bag
Choosing the colour
Don’t look at a bag on its own, always observe the whole outfit. What colours prevail in your wardrobe? If you are like me and mostly wear neutral colours (black,white,beige,brown) I would recommend getting a bag of colour so it stands out. If orange or blue is too much I recommend dark red. Wearing black bag with black outfit can blend the outfit rather than make it stand out. However if you’re a person that wears a lot of colours, brown or black bag might just be what you need to balance the whole look. So take a look at your wardrobe and try to decide on colour of your perfect bag.
Size of the bag
It all varies on what you will be using it for. Tote bag is perfect for work. It looks classy and sophisticated but with lots of space for your books, laptop or anything you might need in a day.
Prime quality
This is often rare to find. Your work bag should be something that doesn’t age, go out of fashion or fall apart. You need to take a peak of behind the scenes and pay attention to quality of materials and production process. It’s all about investing in something that will last. In Atelier Madre store you can watch our production team make your bag in the workshop to ensure the best quality is being handed to you.
Make it unique
Personalise it to match your style. We offer a verity of tote bags, although if you see a bag you like and not the colour you decided on, you have an option to request it in any colour leather we have available. We also allow you to imprint your work bag with your name or initials to make it a little bit more personal to you.
Going out bag
Choosing the colour
I personally match my going out bag with the colour of my heels. Most of my heels are black so I have a black leather bag, it gives me options to wear any colour dress while my bag and heels stay matching. I can combine over 100 different outfits with one pair of heels and one bag. If you try it I can promise you it will be a lifesaver for last minute plans.
Size of the bag
Size for me is very simple, small black leather bag that fits only essentials like my phone, card holder, keys and of course lipgloss. I don’t need a lot of space and I don’t want to bring a lot of stuff with out with me. My preference is a shoulder bag so I can hold it firmly but cross body bag is also an option for those who prefer to have their hands free.
Prime quality
When going out you always want to ensure the leather strap is secure and it won’t fall apart especially if you’re clumsy like me. Quality stitching of the leather is extremely important so your clean look doesn’t get ruined by flying threads that make your bag look cheap.
Make it unique
Best thing I did with my going out bag is I purchased an air tag holder from Atelier Madre that has a key ring attached to it. It is made entirely out of leather and I customised it to match the colour of my bag. I attached it to my zipper so if I ever loose it or even worse it gets stolen I can track it from my iPhone. It is a safety feature I never thought I needed.
So to conclude don’t overwhelm yourself, keep in mind this is supposed to be a fun process. Follow the steps I laid out to help you and soon you’ll be a woman holding the bag that’s turning heads!
