Tory Burch Louisa Convertible Messenger Bag
I have had an on & off relationship with Tory Burch designs as I’m simply not a big fan of logos for the featured design element in shoes, handbags etc….even though I have to admit that hers is a very attractive logo. With the new Louisa Messenger, I am certainly back “on” again!
Described as “24-hour chic”, this bag can be worn daytime as a messenger or evenings as a clutch simply by removing the handle. A trend we are seeing more and more of as consumers demand more options for their dollars. It’s a trend that I really like too!
Although I’m excited this bag can be carried as a clutch, I have to say my favorite element is the handle itself! Little gold squares woven with tan leather create a very sophisticated edge that contrasts nicely to all of the stud-work we have been seeing lately. The fold-over top can also be worn upright simply by moving the handle and tassle to the top of the bag. Thereby eliminating my biggest complaint of foldover-bags which is wasted space! It’s a nifty little trick that doesn’t lose much in the design department when worn that way.
Inside, the design doesn’t stop. Two internal pouches and one zipped pocket with a detachable vanity mirror provide the storage spaces and items you need. (I love it when designers include extra little touches like mirrors with their bags!) A cream colored canvas finishes the bag.
For $395, it’s hard to beat this fabulous bag!

The chain looks like a chain saw blade. Not likin it.
I totally disagree with you. This bag is hot and makes a statement. I wore this bag to work and 7 women complimented me on it in one day. Loving it!
You have just found me my future fall bag. I’m putting this on my list as we speak!!
I ordered the black version. I like how both the tassel and strap are removable. It’s like a 3 in 1 bag!
I have to get this purse! I love it.
This bag is gorgeous. Not like other bags by this designer. It’s just amazing from day to night!
This purse is darling. I must get one.
I really don’t like the Tory Burch logo, but on here it’s not as noticeable as on her other bags, where it’s just plastered on, covering the whole front. This is much more fabulous.
Without the chain strap – cuteness!
Is it a heavy bag due from all the hardware?Please advise. Thanks
[...] I typically do not go for heavily logo’ed items. Save for my Tory Burch flats with the huge emblem. I love them and I love this bag that I spotted at BagBliss. [...]
