My love of handbags started when I was in elementary school. One of my teachers carried this amazingly colorful patchwork Hobo handbag and I couldn’t keep my eyes off it! It hung on the back of her desk chair, and I wanted so badly to ask her about it, or better yet, own it. I asked for the same style of handbag for Christmas, but alas, I didn’t get it, because what third grader carries a handbag? My love of handbags has never wavered, so I was delighted to discover a new line of handbags to love in the new year.

JOY & IMAN leather Best Friend City Satchel review
in city, FamilyLife, fashion, Joy & IMAN, leather, look of the day, purses, satchels, trendy, by Linda A Kinsman, Monday, October 31, 2016
Can a new purse really become your best friend? If you are like me and need a large, can fit everything and still look stylish purse- the answer is yes!, especially if you are lucky enough to own the new JOY & IMAN genuine leather "Best Friend" City Satchel ! I had the good fortune to receive a complimentary best friend city satchel in demi-matte black from Phoenix Trading Company to try and review and I couldn’t be happier. While I did receive this satchel free of charge, all opinions, love of a good leather bag and fashion are my own.

Do you see why I love this stylish satchel? Even my teen daughter (modeling
the satchel in the photo above) loves this beauty of a bag! I usually carry black purses because I feel
they work well with any outfit and the demi-matte black pebbled leather with
gold-tone hardware makes this satchel trendy while the overall size and shape
profile lends a classic vibe.
Here
is a run-down of the features of the satchel from Phoenix Trading Company:
- Size/Profile: Large satchel
- Walls: Genuine pebbled leather
- Handles/Strap: Double rolled handles
- Hardware: goldtone; signature goldtone front metal logo plate
- Construction: Open top; flat bottom with metal feet
- Closure: Zipper
- Lining/Trim: Polyester
The interior is a purse lover’s dream come true. Look at all that
room! I can easily carry my tablet and Avon brochures and samples when out
working my business. I can fit my planner and notebook for taking notes when I’m
attending important school meetings, or blogging ideas and the best part- everything has a home.
No fiddling around at the bottom of your purse for your pen or keys!
Here’s the rundown of the interior:
- 1 front wall compartment with 2 patch pockets
- 1 plain compartment with 8 card slots
- 1 center zippered compartment
- 1 zipper pocket and 1 patch pocket
- 1 compartment with 1 patch pocket 1 back wall compartment with 1 zipper pocket (1 inside pocket for mirror), 1 patch pocket, 1 elastic pocket and 2 pen slots
- 1 adjustable square watch (located on front of purse in leather case)
Plus- this
satchel truly reaches best friend status with the super helpful flashlight attachment! Just open the satchel, click on the handy flashlight that’s
attached to the side and you’ll find your glasses, phone, wallet or gum in a
flash! Need to know the time without looking at your phone? This satchel has you covered with a small square black and goldtone watch concealed in a small leather pocket attached to the front.
There is even a
zipper back pocket on the back exterior to place those items you want to grab
quickly before going into a meeting or running into the corner bodega for a
snack.
The Take Away:
The JOY & IMAN genuine leather "Best Friend" City Satchel is a big,
roomy satchel that can and will carry almost everything you need for a long day
in the city. It feels nice on your arm. The sturdy double rolled leather
handles assure you they can carry the extra weight of your tablet and heels
effortlessly. Joy and IMAN nailed fashionably functional with this satchel and
it holds its own within that line. This
pretty, classy yet trendy bag will serve you well all season long! If you are
looking for a solid satchel with style, I invite you to learn more at PhoenixTrading Company where you can purchase it as well.
