Do you know how long it takes me to pick out a new handbag? I am a terrible, horrible no good very bad handbag picker-outer decision maker.
Is it stylish?
Is it in a trendy color?
Will it fit all of my stuff or should I just try a clutch?
Is it as cute as I think it is?
My solution: I text my daughter a photo and ask, “Is this cute?” If she says yes, I’m golden, and the bag is mine.
_______________
I know when it’s time to buy a new handbag because I start to have bag envy. I spy delicious looking beauties like these Rabeanco handbags, and I notice how perky and bright they are and how dingy and tired mine is.
As a regular page turner of fashion (and gossip) magazines, I first saw them in Glamour and Cosmo and got all nosy about ’em.
So I jumped online to see them up close and fell in a romance. They’re so beautiful, and they’re made of that soft, buttery squishy leather that makes you totally love your bag.
Uh oh, Liz has a decision to make….
Will it be…
Bonham I (left) , Bonham II (right) – Bold architectural lines balanced with softness. Antique brass hardware, and a detachable shoulder strap for cross-body wearing.
Giada – a slouchy, hobo-style purse with bucket design. Pebbled leather in a blue violet color. Contrast strap and leather tassel.
Flavia – Fishing creel-inspired silhouette with vintage flair. Can be worn as a cross-body or a single-shoulder bag.
Lucchia – A sophisticated croco-embossed leather wallet with rich hardware detailing.
Pia – A soft lamb leather mini bag. Gold hardware details, hidden magnetic closure and detachable chain shoulder strap.
Hennessey – This isn’t really a handbag, but I’ve never had a weekender bag and I neeeeeds one! Bold architectural lines and a roomy interior make it the perfect weekender bag. Contrast handles and side zippered gussets.
I just love them all! They’re made with special details and oh so stylish, but with a look distinctive from other luxury brands. There’s the perfect blend of function and fashion in these beautifully crafted leather bags. (Not to mention they come in eye-popping colors!)
Rabeanco is an international company, but they just debuted recently in the U.S. with a couple of California stores. Seeing as how I don’t live in California, I’m glad the online store ships to the U.S. for FREE. Free, I say!
Which Rabeanco handbag is your favorite?
Kathleen says
I rarely carry a purse, but when I do, it is because I am usually using it as a suitcase, so I need it to be big, comfortable and hold a lot!

Of your choices, I think I like the Bonham 1 the best, but I’d probably get myself the dark blue one in the middle on the left in the collage. I need something around that size for all the stuff I carry! All of them look great though, I don’t think you can go wrong whatever you choose!

I like the light blue bonham. I’m not a huge fan of big purses, but this one seems like a good medium size. I’m sure the purple color is more practical, but I already have a purple purse….so light blue it is!

I have to admit, I usually just stick with black or brown bags, but these colors are really fun.I like Flavia!
Mer says
These are gorgeous! I really love the colors, how perfect for a bit of cheerfulness now that’s getting to be that grey time of year. I like the Flavia best.
Pam says
I love the Bonham , both styles. They all look like they are really well built. A little on the pricey side but I don’t mind paying more for a purse and having it for a long time. I really like these. I live in California and I will have to find out what stores they are in.
Angela S says
That weekender is so nice! I would love to have that bag.

Shannah @ Just Us Four says
Super cute bags. I love purses and these look really nice.

Nichol says
Oh handbag heaven! I LOVE that purple Giada bag, pretty!
Chrishelle says
I like the Flavia. It looks like it would fit into a fun weekend shopping trip. I also love the bright colors. I had never heard of Rabeanco leather bags. I will definitely be taking a closer look for my next handbag purchase.
Rosey says
Giada, Giada, Giada!!! Did I mention I love the Giada? 🙂
I like that nice buttery soft leather feel you’re talking about too. These are great.
Jenn @comebackmomma says
I like the Flavia. Love that color purple too.
Rita says
While the colors are striking, I love the cuts, which are unique. So many handbags are standard looking, but these stand out because they are original. My favorites are the Bonham I and II, with the double-triangle/diamond side panels, which also give shape to the front and back. Reminds me also of the infinite geometric possibilities of quilting. Why just using squares or rectangles!
Melissa says
I have an addiction to handbags! Love the Bonham II!
Nicole B says
I like the Hennessy – I need big bags for all the kids’ stuff I still have to cart around with me at all times. These are really cute and I love the colors.
Meghan @JaMonkey says
I love the bright colors. The turquoise color is my favorite. I bought a bag in that color.

Cute bags! I like the one in the bottom right corner…. the orange one. I like the shape and the color is bright.. vastly different from my black & brown choices I usually carry.
Let us know which one you get!
Ashley S says
Amazing!! I just love the colors.
Grace Hodgin says
The colors and style variations are amazing.
Mellisa says
I LOVE handbags! I have about 10 right now! I love the different colors.

Oh yes! I love those bright colors and styles! I always tend to buy black, but I really need to branch out and get some of these gorgeous styles!
Daniel Sitoabasi says
Nice collections, all the bags are so colorful but one bag stand out, Hennessey hand bag is the most handy, don’t know if it that trendy but i prefer it to the rest bags
Sarah Bailey says
Oh my I have a ‘thing’ about handbags and I think I have totally fallen for the shape and colour of Bonham I x
Penelope (NYC Blogger) says
Gorgeous, LOVE the colors!
Karen says
I love how colorful these bags are but I’d have a hard time picking just one!
Angela @ About a Mom says
I absolutely love handbags in bright colors. This is such a nice collection of bags!
Mama to 5 BLessings says
very nice, I have not had a regular purse in years because I have had babies for 8 years, these bags look nice and big enough to use as a diaper bag.
Shauna says
Wow, they have beautiful choices, seems like a choice for everyone. Thank you
Mistee Dawn says
I really like the Pia!

Tammy says
I went to their website and I like the Stella one. I love buying handbags on the Internet, they’re so fun to get in the mail!
Patty says
I rather like the Bonham II but I would go with the hot pink or some flashy color. And it has to be big enough for Sherpa….
Karen says
That baby blue bag is absolutely beautiful. Thanks for sharing
Michele says
I love the Bonham 1–I used to have a jacket (faux leather) in that color and have never seen it since–Pocketbooks drive me crazy and buying them or picking them out–I’d rather have someone stick me full of pins cause I know the one I pick will ultimately not work for me! Will be checking out this site.
Ms. A says
I’m really lousy at this and have no sense of style whatsoever! I carry the same one I’ve been carrying for years.
Tough Cookie Mommy says
These handbags are absolutely beautiful. I love the vibrant colors that they come in and the variety in sizes. I’ve been hinting to Hubby that I want a designer handbag for Christmas.
Tammy says
I love the hobo styles. I hate to admit it but I am a “name brand” purse girl. Isn’t that sad? I use to love Coach but now am loving Brighton…super cute and versatile! 😉
Deborah Pucci says
I think I like the baby blue one on the top row of the advertisement! I do love a nice leather bag.
Kathy says
I don’t know which is my favorite for me, personally, but of the ones you like, I like the Bonham ones. But you know whichever style you go with, you just have to get the blue violet color. Blueviolet. 🙂
I hate picking new purses, too, and I can’t do it online at all. I have to see them in real life. Oh, plus right now mine is a diaper bag, but there will be a day when I have a purse again.
