Hot from Avon: Manzzini Satchel and Tote
Friday, October 26, 2012 at 9:46AM My bag of the moment is this black Avon Manzzini Bag. I first saw my friend Mara carrying it at an event in Marriott Hotel and I honestly thought it was a high-end bag! Just yesterday someone also asked me if it was designer. It does have an expensive, discreet look to it (minus the key wallet), which may explain the first impression it usually gets.
Dimensions: 12.5" L x 16" H
Best thing? It's only P1,750. It's expensive for an Avon bag, since the normal collections are just around P600-1,000. But if you like the design then why not right? These bags come with a key chain wallet (for the black), detachable organizer, and dust bag (for storage).
The quality is nice, although I have to note that the zipper is sort of becoming wavy at the bottom part. It's not a straight line anymore, but the shape of the bag is still streamlined.
You can take out this organizer and put it in any bag - as long as it fits!

And here's the other bag in the collection. It's called the Manzzini Luxe Satchel (also P1,750). According to the press info, it's made of high quality man-made leather. I don't know what that means exactly but I did notice that this bag is softer than the black one!
Dimensions: 10" L x 12.75" H. Medium-sized.
Pretty no? Perfect for just about anything - work, play, semi-formal, casual. It's smaller than the black tote so I would recommend it for petite girls for better proportion.
Chain for secure closure
Removable organizer

Ang ganda!! type ko yung black. :) It's so pretty for an everyday bag! Good for all the things that you need to put in your bag, without looking unclassy! May organizer pa <3 Good for OC girls like me <3
Hi, Liz! I'm glad you made a post on bags. I always have problems looking for durable bags that are not so expensive. Synthetic leather flakes VERY easily talaga even if I'm being careful. Months pa lang, sira na agad. What can you say about the durability of Avon bags? Also, do you have other brand recommendations? Thanks!
Ang ganda ng beige bag! Its not obvious na its from Avon, looks pretty expensive too!
I like the beige one a lot. Yup, classy bags need not be expensive. I have the same question with Karen, though. Ang hirap makakita ng not-so-expensive durable bags.
I like the beige Mazzini bag! It looks like it will match anything I wear! But, lo and behold, I just bought a new bag from Charles and Keith yesterday. Also, I might have problems with the weight of that bag. I usually prefer ones made of cloth or lighter materials (like Longchamp bags) because heavier bags always give me a hard time. And this is one of my lifetime frustrations because most of the leather bags I see, or those that are heavy, are the ones with the best designs or style. :'(
Thank you for this post Ms. Liz!
Hi, Liz. This is very surprising--an expensive-looking bag from Avon. I honestly thought it was a designer when I saw it in your OOTD (Maggie Prescott Pink post). Yes, an almost 2K bag is a bit pricey actually but it's definitely worth a plunge. It's classy and looks so high-end.
Hi, again. :) Just a follow up question, Liz. What are the things we should check/look for when buying a bag? I mean, what materials are durable, what types of straps don't break easily, etc. Hope you give us some suggestions. Thanks! (Also, I purchased a new bag today, since the one I was using was falling apart. Sana magtagal. :|)
Wow, this black bag from Avon reminds me of LV Alma, I've been dying to get one for years now and this affordable and pretty bag from Avon is a good substitute for now, habang nagiipon pa ako :) Great finds Ms. Liz! Sana madami ka pa ipost na ganito!
It does look expensive and so so nice. Plus the black one looks really roomy!
@Karen @Alexis Avon bags are pretty durable naman, but careful lang with yanking zippers as they may give way agad. The material they use is nice though and stitches are fairly solid
Hmm I wouldn't call myself a bag expert. My main concern when looking for a bag is style. My work doesn't require me to bring around a heavy duty bag kasi since I am usually just out for a few hours. But! When it comes to quality I look how tight the stitches are (as in I try to pull it gently apart to really see the seams), if the material is thick, I also look at the lining if maganda yung tahi.
For me it's ok to spend on a bag I really like. Sometimes I spend a lot for bags I intend to keep, but sometimes I buy mga cheap bags just because they look nice.
@Kaye these new Avon bags are kinda heavy. Hirap talaga, it's always a compromise!
@Anne True!
@Angel I have the LV Alma, it's awesome! <3 I rarely buy/receive bags eh but I will definitely write when I do.
@Mae Flor it iiis! Really practical!
Lovin' the beige bag, its looks so chic and adds a little oomph to any outfit you would wear, whether casual or formal. Mixing and matching it with anything really seals the deal for me.
Wow. Nice bag! I didn't know that Avon has really cute bags.
