Saddleback Leather Mini Bucket Bag

How often do you change your purse/bag? It's been too long for me and I've been going nuts wanting to switch to a new one, but I've been very particular about what I've been wanting. So, when I was given the opportunity to review a Saddleback Leather Mini Bucket Bag, I knew I'd found the one!

If you've seen my Instagram post, you'll know I'm in my crossbody era. The one I currently have is ready for retirement and the Mini Bucket Bag has slid into its place very nicely. I was so surprised to find out how much I could fit in the bag. I do want to mention that it's really "mini" so it's mostly for your essentials. If you're looking to cram everything into it, you'll want to size up. I'm already eyeballing the Leather Travel Satchel!

Yes, as a book blogger & reviewer, I made sure a book could fit in the Saddleback Leather Mini Bucket Bag. Yes, that's a photo of me sticking a book in my bag at the bookstore. It was at a book signing! lol Anyhow, even better than just my print copy? My Kindle fit in the back pocket perfectly! Trust me, all of the heart eyes were happening! The other thing that sold me on the bag is that there's a small pocket on the inside. We all have our idiosyncrasies, right? One of mine happens to be that I want my small wallet to be separate from everything else so that I can find it at the snap of my fingers. Hence, the love of the inside pocket. It also fits my chapstick (which I seem to constantly be digging for in my other bag) and my tissues.

I was so delighted to see that Saddleback Leather is so much more than bags. They seriously have something for everyone: a valet tray, sheepskin slippers, a travel chess set, the Constitution of the United States (yes you read that right), everyday purses, travel bags, and so much more! The brand stands behind its craftsmanship with a 100-year warranty, a rare guarantee that speaks to the quality of design and materials. 

They also have something called Love 41. This is an initiative comes from Psalm 41: 1-3 where Scripture tells us to love others and to take care of people. Saddleback Leather does that in a variety of ways such as Africa New Life Ministries, sponsorship for children in Rwanda, an afternoon school program in Mexico, scholarships for Bible education for orphans, abandoned children and children in great need, and more. How incredible is that for this company to give back to people who need it the most? They integrate faith, service, and community into the business model, connecting each purchase with living out values that matter.

If you're still looking for the perfect gift to give for Christmas this year (or seriously, any time of the year) look no further! Learn more about how the company got their start. It's incredibly powerful and will be a testament to God working in their lives!
