If you follow me on instagram, then you've already seen this bag multiple times already, and if you've seen my latest youtube video then you're probably here trying to find a bag that's similar to this one!
At the beginning of the summer I saw this beauty laying on my mum's bed, yes, she was going to get rid of it (unbelievable, I know). I loved the vibe and I thought it would look great with some outfits, but I wasn't expecting to fall in love with this bag the way I did. This beauty has won me over in ways I couldn't have imagined.
So, let's dive into the details. This bag is small yet surprisingly spacious, which is a total game-changer. The wide stripe makes it incredibly comfortable to carry around, even on those days when you're lugging around more than you'd care to admit. But the real magic happens when you open it up. This beauty has not one but two spacious compartments, along with a handy little pocket on the back. It's like Mary Poppins' bag, I swear!
Now, let's talk about the material. This vintage beauty is crafted from black leather, making it incredibly versatile. It can effortlessly match any outfit, whether you're going for a casual look or dressing to impress. It's a true chameleon in the world of bags.
I'll admit, it wasn't exactly love at first sight for me. You see, I've always been more into structured bags, and this one had a different vibe. But all that changed when I realised just how much stuff I could fit inside without it looking too big or bulky. It's like a magical TARDIS – it appears small on the outside but can hold a ton!
After many of you asked me about this bag when I first posted in on my instagram, I did my best to find the brand online so I could redirect you to at least that (and secretly hoping to find a very similar model so I could give you a link you could go to). The only thing stamped on the bag was "Giovanna," so of course I googled it but sadly I couldn't find anything about the brand..
But hey, I didn't let that stop me. Instead, I scoured the internet for similar bags that I could share with you all. So, if you're as enamoured with this bag as I am, here's a little treat for you – a list of three affordable options that capture that same vintage charm.

Starting out with what I believe is the most similar and cheapest option, this bag from Shein is simply adorable and it's only 20€. It only has one compartment BUT it has that same line in the middle and the same shape, so I'd say this is the safest option. However, this one is not made out of leather so I'm not very sure how resistant the material is. If you end up opting for this option, please let us know in the comments below how you like it!

And last but not least, we have this third option, which I also found on Olivia Mark for 30€. The main difference about this one is the thin strip. Although this makes the bag look more classy and minimal, what concerns me about this design is the comfort. I haven't tried this model so I can't tell you for sure, but based on past experience, if you end up getting this one, I'd recommend not fitting many things inside because the strap might end up hurting you. But if you're planning on fitting a couple things and just want a chic bag for this autumn, this one looks ideal!
And with that, we're done my loves! I hope you've enjoyed getting to know my favourite vintage bag as much as I have enjoyed shooting the video and writing this post. And I also hope you liked the dupes I found! Let me know in the comments below which one you like best, feel free to leave the links to any similar bags you know about, and share your experience with these ones if you end up buying any of these models!
Also, don't forget to check out my video showing you everything I fit in my bag on my youtube channel and tag me on instagram on pictures of YOUR favourite bags, I'd love to see them!
