Maggie Bags Campus Tote and Key Chain Review

I have the change to review some of the hot new products from Maggie Bags.  First up is the Campus Tote that I have received in Gray.

What: Maggie Bags Campus Tote, a eco friendly and chic way to travel to class in style

Pros: Its a large enough tote to fit a few notebooks and some text books and other essentials like a make up bag, wallet, and sunglasses.  Its got a great lining, that oh so fab Maggie Bags satin purple lining that pops out easy for an easy access to clean any spots.  The zipper at the top is really durable, doesn't look like it would be too delicate.  The handles are wrapped around the bottom so not to worry these handles wont be breaking off any time when they are put to the pressure of carrying a lot of weight.  The feet at the bottom make sure your Maggie Bags stays clean even when you have to set it down and your classmate spills coffee (yes that happened to me once and ruined a bag, so these little feet def protect your bags)

Cons:  I really wish it had a ring on the inside of the bag to clip my keys on, especially since I have the matching Maggie Bags key chain.  Other than that this bag is AWESOME

Overall Thoughts:  LOVE this bag.  Its really the perfect campus bag, no more having to tote around the khaki canvas bags that start to look super grungy after a week or so.

Now onto the Key Chain.

What:  Maggie Bags EcoChic Key Chain

Pros:  Its adorable!  It can be buckled and unbuckled to create a larger or smaller key chain.

Cons:  Its a little big and can be heavy to some but overall I think its great!

Overall:  I like it!  I really like that I can keep my car key on one side and just unbuckle that when I need it.  Definitely convenient.

CitySlips Review

HUGE thank you to the fab ladies at City Slips for sending me a pair of flats to try out and review (I wasn't paid for this review and these are my 100% totally honest opinions).

CitySlips are a pair of flats that come folded up in a little adorable pouch that you can put in your bag/clutch and take with you when you are wearing heels.  I am, on a good day, 5'2'' and I live in heels but there are times when it just gets a bit uncomfortable.  I am not one of those girls that would take off my heels and walk around town barefoot (eww gross).

So there are a few different kinds of these ballet flats on the market right now (one by Dr. Scholl's called Fast Flats).  City Slips has something that I haven't seen before, the pouch that holds the shoes folds out to a tote to hold your heels.  How awesome is that?!?!?  Who really wants to walk around carrying their shoes, so not fun!

The things I love about these flats:

• They are small, I can fold them up and put them in a largeish clutch (Pictures is the Maggie Bags Clutch) and I am good to go!  
• The sole is very thick.  I don't feel like I will step on something yucky and get it on my feet (def not the feeling I had with the Dr. Scholl's, the shoe and sole was so thin).
• They are super comfy!  Sometimes ballet flats can be a little uncomfy but these have a good amount of cushion AND a nice sturdy sole so they are definitely a new love
• The black color has the perfect amount of shine and it will totally go with so many outfits!

Things I am not crazy about:

• I couldn't find a single thing!  Strange I know!!!!!  I always try to find something I am not 10)% happy about but I seriously couldn't!  

These flats come in a few colors: Black, Gold, Silver and a two options (solid or snakeskin which is so adorb).  They sell for 24.95 and are worth it!  Competitors may sell for about 10.00 but you don't get a tote and the quaitly isn't as good as City Slips.

Maggie Bags Laptop Bag Review

Yesterday I posted the review of the Maggie Bags Hobo and today I will be focusing on the Laptop bag.  I received this bag 2 years ago but my opinions haven't changed a bit.  I used this bag a LOT, it was a go to carry on bag for me (second only to the Vuitton Neverfull).

What I love about this bag:

So basically I think messenger bags in general do not look good on me so I am mostly a tote girl.  But there was something about this Maggie Bag that was nice on me.  I didn't hate the way it looked on me.  Maybe it was the pretty interior that made me smile every time I opened it (by you now you probably know how obsessed I am with bag interiors haha).  I like that it has the option to carry it multiple ways: handheld, cross body, or over the shoulder.  This way I can definitely accommodate how I carry it based on size or how heavy it is.  The bag on its own is light but it can get heavy when its stuffed.  I also love that it has metal feet on the bottom of the bag.  Complete peace of mind when putting it on the floor because you know the bag will be fine.  It looks the same as when I got it 2 years ago!  Seriously this bag ages really well.

What I am not so crazy about:

Only one thing, the adjustable strap always slips after using it so I am readjusting it at the end of the day. Not a big deal.

Check out the super cute satin purple interior with tons of slots for cards, pens, phone, etc. LOVE IT

It can fit a 3 inch binder and a 13" laptop at the same time!

This time there is a clipboard, Coach Demi, and more!

Maggie Bags Hobo Review

Everyone loves a hobo because it's got a great shape and really practical.  So why not get a hobo that "Saves the Planet in Style" by getting the Maggie Bag Hobo.  Made out of seatbelts that were rejected from use due to color variation, these handbags definitely are an attention grabber.

The bag, like all Maggie Bags, has a beautiful satin purple interior and silver hardware.  This particular style has the name, MAGGIE BAGS, on one of the circular silver pieces of the bag.  Even though it has a good amount of hardware, the bag isn't overly heavy, HUGE plus!!!

I initially reviewed this bag 2 years ago, but not only does my opinion remain the same, but the bag looks the same!  And this is AFTER I spilled a red drink on the bag and let it sit for a few days before using a baby wipe to just wipe it clean.  This bag is in a very light tan color and most other bags would look really worn out after using them for over a year.

Check out the pics to see what fits inside this hobo (a really good amount!) and how it looks on the shoulder.  Absolutely love this bag!!!!

Maggie Bag Seat Belt Bag Video Review

These video reviews are from Spring and Summer 2009, but my opinion on them is the same.  I still use these bags and absolutely love them.  Overall these bags are incredibly pretty/eye catching, unique, colorful, and durable.  The inside is probably one of my favorite parts of the bag, they are a beautiful satin purple.  I will also be doing a written review of these videos with lots of pictures :)

Maggie Bags Pink and Brown Large Tote Review

What: Maggie Bags Pink and Brown Large Tote Review


Up for review is the Maggie Bags Pink and Brown large tote!

A little back ground info on Maggie Bags: they are a company that produces handbags from seatbelts.  When a seatbelt is rejected by a car company for use (because of color variation) the seatbelts would usually get tossed in the trash, but not any more because Maggie Bags gives them a new purpose!  They have amazing colors that are super bright and fun and each bag has this ridiculously fabulous satin purple lining.  Check out the video for a tour of the bag!


What did I love about the bag:
The handle length.  Sometimes totes have handles that are too short or too long and I think Maggie Bags got it right.  The bag hands perfectly even under a big jacket (something we all know is a total pain in the winter).

The bag is durable!  I can literally toss it around, put it on the floor, drop it, and never worry about tarnishing its beauty.  I have a tan hobo that was the victim of red punch on a 4th of July party and forgot to clean the bag as soon as I got home, a few days later and a little scrubbing from a baby wipe and the bag was good as new.

The bottom of the bag has four little feet, perfect for setting it down in a restaurant and not worrying about dirtying the bottom of the bag.

Its unique and you will get stopped and complimented.  I have never received as many compliments on my bags as I do with my Maggie Bags (many more reviews to come on the MB collection).  Even boys like the bag (which is such a rarity!).
