Review: Nat & Nin Macy Handbag

Nat & Nin Macy


It’s easy to think that Sarenza is just shoes but they also carry 121 bag brands on the site. I picked out a handbag with my Sarenza voucher this month and isn’t it beautiful? (Note: it's a much greener turquoise than it looks here; I played about with the camera settings but try as I might I couldn't get the colour to photograph correctly.) It’s the Macy bag by Nat & Nin, a brand I’d not heard of before. Nat and Nin are sisters (Nathalie and Ninny) who started their brand back in 2005 and it is stocked in a small range of stores in Paris. But now you can buy the line in the UK from Sarenza.

The Macy bag is made from the softest buttery leather and the turquoise (or Curaçao) colour I chose is so gorgeous and vibrant for spring. The bright orange-y yellow lining contrasts nicely with the turquoise and is made of cotton. The bag also comes in pinky red, sand and cream if you prefer a more classic colour. It’s really roomy and has a plethora of external pockets, plus an inside zip pocket and smaller compartments for your phone and whatever else you want to keep in them.

The one thing I would change about this bag is the handles. They are just a tad too short to sit comfortably on your shoulder so you will probably need to carry this one in the crook of your arm. But that’s not really a problem and there is a shoulder strap provided too so you always have that option.

The Nat & Nin Macy bag is available from Sarenza where shipping is free within the UK.
