Skinted or Minted this month?
Whatever your budget is, the verity backpack is an essential for us 'practi-fashion' lovers for the mid Winter-Spring wardrobe.
Most of of us have been drooling, yet whimpering at this stunning Mini Verity Bags from Whistles; drooling for its pristine style and worn leather detail, whimpering at the price tag of £180.
If you're struggling still with your post christmas bills (still), I've found this great little compact dupe from Primark.
Mini Verity Backpack, Whistles. £180. |
PU zip-front backpack, Primark. £10. |
My Verdict:
You can't go wrong with Whistles; the look is so effortless, quality seems impeccable and seems to fit a lot of items thanks to the fold over zip top (from looking at videos and blogs featuring the bag).
However, as the Whistles bag is leather, it is advised not to use in rain to minimise damage; sad reality as this seems like an everyday bag.
However, for a primark bag (I'm quite hesitant in primark bags for their poor quality) its very sturdy, holds plenty of items and looks sophisticated.
While this zip up is a lot more boxy and structured, the design is very chic and has a crisp, neat appearance. It also is compact, yet still fits my Macbook and everything else all at once.
Primark wins!
