Review: Aldo Vote Bag

I am extremely into holographic things at the moment and when I saw this bag I instantly fell in love. The only problem was, it said it was only 10.7 inches long which is pretty small and the price was $40. So I put it to the side and figured I'd find something similar that was larger and more worth the price.

However, two months later I still couldn't get my mind off of this handbag! And I knew that if I didn't order it and it eventually went out of stock, I would regret it. So I caved in and purchased it! I figured it'd be a fun bag to pair with outfits instead of always carrying just a basic black or tan one.

When I received the bag I noticed it really was quite small! I'm not too worried about the size though since I really don't need to carry much around with me anyway. I wanted a bag that I could just take the basics so maybe it could help eliminate clutter. But it was very structured and sturdy which is something I like. The holographic pattern is gorgeous as well. It feels like its well made and will hopefully last awhile.

Like I mentioned before, it is small. There really isn't very much room on the inside! I can fit my wallet, phone and a few other small things and that's about it. There is a zipped pouch and two small pockets on the opposite side but when putting things in there I feel like it gets in the way. I'm also not a huge fan of the outer zipper. The bag doesn't really open too much and the zipper is pretty rough so if you continually put your hand in and out of your bag it could cause some discomfort I think. I also noticed when I received it, it already had a few scratches and a tiny piece of holographic had peeled off. It's nothing that's noticeable unless you really study it though.

It also came with a strap that you can clip onto your bag so you can use it as a cross-body bag or just drape it over your shoulder, which is really nice if you're walking for long periods of time!

Overall I don't regret buying it because I think it's adorable I just wish it was a tiny bit bigger for the price but it's really nothing to complain about considering I don't have a need to lug around a ton of extra things! And I also wish the quality was a bit better but I'm still in love with it. If you have your eye on this bag just take into consideration the price, size, and practicality for you!
