Gabbygale Handbags & Travel Accessories: Review & Giveaway!
Tuesday, June 02, 2009 Posted by Piera Jolly
Ladies, at the risk of sounding redundant, I will say it again: I LOVE purses! That addiction passion has also made me a bit of a handbag snob. I think the bag you carry makes a statement about who you are. I want a quality bag, but like all of us-I am always looking for a deal. Sure, I can spend $200 (or way more) and buy a fabulous purse. Who couldn't? The real thrill comes in finding a great bag that is easy on my bank account! So, when Gabbygale came to me about reviewing one of their gorgeous and affordable handbags, of course I said yes!
About Gabbygale (from the website):
Gabbygale is the place to buy quality handbags and travel accessories with affordable prices. Gabbygale Bags & Luggage is the online shop for a collection of popular boutiques located in the Los Angeles. Their company has been servicing customers for over 15 years, and is well known for its high quality products, competitive pricing and friendly service. They strive to carry their tradition of excellence in service to their online shop by promoting personal service with every order.
Gabbygale sent me the Pattern Embossed Fabric Satchel (pictured below) to review. This is such a beautiful and classic handbag! It has a fully lined interior, a zippered opening, and modern silver hardware. The bag is a great size-large, but not overpowering. It's big enough to use as a diaper bag though-I have a diaper caddy in mine. It also has a front pocket that not only adds detail, but also works. The embossing is AMAZING and really gives this bag a unique and special feel! Beautiful! And, priced at only $34.99, this bag is a huge BARGAIN!
Gabbygale has so many handbags to choose from and they offer something for every type of woman. They also carry cute laptop bags, wallets, lunch totes, evening bags, and diaper bags as well! Best of all, everything is affordable and very fashionable!
