I’ve been on a K-brand (Korean brand) bag kick ever since my first Korean Brand Bag Review. And I originally thought I might tack this on one to the original, but I’ve gotten enough interest (and I have enough to say) to make this a stand alone review. So without further ado, here is my review of my first (but probably not last) Margesherwood (yes all one word) bag.

I should know by now that impulsively purchasing a bag just because it’s on sale is ALWAYS a bad idea for me. And most years I manage to avoid these sale impulse purchases but for one reason or another (but mostly because of YouTube) I fell for it this year. And two out of two of these Shopbop sale items are a total miss.

Back in June, I wrote a post about my most used bags for the first half of the year, so here’s the ones I used the most for the latter part of the year.

First there was K-Pop, K-Dramas, and K-Beauty. Well now there’s K-bags 😂. Since going to South Korea I have a greater respect for the fashion brands coming from that country. They tend to be on trend but also super affordable. Let’s just say these Korean brands make really good dupes without being an exact carbon copy (they usually make it just different enough). The construction also tends to be fairly solid, but as I found out the materials used can be a bit of a mixed bag (pun intended lol). So far I’ve tried these Korean bag brands and this is what I think of them:

So as I disclosed up top, I got to borrow this bag for free from Fashionphile for a month. And I took them up on their offer by borrowing this Goyard Sac Cap Vert in green. Well, would I buy it now after trying it for a month? It’s a definite possibility.

2024 has been a banner year for buying bags for me. I finally let myself buy the bags that I want, and yes I may have gone overboard (especially thanks to a newfound Hermes addiction). So amongst all the bags in my collection, which one did I use the most? Here are my top five:

In the past I would never have sold a bag without doing a full review of it here on the blog. But in the last couple of years I’ve started to let things go without a review. Is it laziness? Perhaps. It’s probably also a sign of overconsumption (I’m getting bags faster than I can review them). Though if they were all stellar bags I’d definitely be reviewing them, so maybe I’m just in my phase of not wanting to review bags I didn’t absolutely love. Anyway without further ado, this is a brief review of three bags that I sold (mostly on Fairly Curated closet) did not fully review on the blog.
