Alexander Wang Angela Mini Pochette
Alexander Wang brought us the fabulous Rocco Duffel to carry every day. He’s doing some wonderful things with his other handbags too! We’ve come to know and love him for his rich luxurious and textural leathers, simple shapes and architectural features. With the Angela Mini Pochette, you will not be disappointed. The Angela Pochette is a bit more for the arty type. It’s a tiny bit edgy and a whole lot smart!
The 5″ drop circular handle is a bit too large to qualify it as a bracelet bag. Those tend to bother me a bit too much. It is large enough to hand-carry comfortable and even slide up onto your forearm for hands-free moments. I’m intrigued with the three ball-shaped metal studs on top of the handle. They aren’t hard edged like many of the studs, they are more of an architectural detail like the rows of signatures rounded studs on the base of the bag.
I am loving the yummy camel pebbled leather also available in black. It has such nice earthy quality and soft texture – like your favorite old smooshy leather jacket! One of my most loved views of this bag is looking down while carrying it. I love the soft-squished form of the 8 1/2 x 8 1/2 x 8″ dimensions. It will hold quite a bit with that sizing too!
Alexander Wangs have become highly sought after and the pricing is still within reach! This yummy bag is $650.

I’m hoping to get this for my birthday. It’s such a great bag.
Hi I’m new to bagbliss. I have a question for all the Alexander Wang fans out there. Are his bags considered heavy – because of the studs? I wanted to get one but all my friends talk me out of it because they said it’s like carrying a 5 pound bag.
I test drove this bag at our Barney’s Co-op, and it is EXTREMELY heavy. It was completely empty. There’s no way that I could carry a bag that was that heavy before I even put anything into it.
Before handling the bag, I just didn’t get it. I find the bag ugly. I say to save your money and get something else.
This is my favorite of all Alexander Wang bags.
I ordered the cognac! I can’t wait to get it in my hands.
I have the coco and love it to death. The leather is so squishy and yummy.
