on May 16th, 2012If you follow my instagram or have seen me in person recently, you’ve probably heard me talking about my new Danielle Nicole handbag. I’m seriously obsessed. Not only is it big enough to hold all my belongings without feeling heavy, but it’s the perfect style, and at $108, the perfect price. Plus, Danielle is from the DC area! How fun is that? She got her start designing cosmetic bags for Bergdorfs as an intern, and soon after, was designing complete leather collections for Bergdorfs, Neimans, Saks, and more. But in 2008, the recession prompted her to use leather alternatives for a more affordable line, which is what you’ll find now. In fact, every bag below is right around or under $100. Obsessed!

Disclosure: The handbag was sent to me as a gift – but had I known about it sooner, I would have gotten it for myself! As always, it’s very important to me that I offer honest reviews to you and only write about products that I like and fully endorse.
