I started out getting a squid charm for my son. I almost never buy items from an Instagram ad but I was drawn in by the quirky designs. When it arrived, I was super impressed with the quality of the stitching & leather. I couldn't help but for myself and settled on the purple, grey and black studded small Vali cross body. It arrived and met all my expectations and more, it is NOT your run of the mill hand bag. I LOVE everything about this bag! The colorway, the quirky embroidered eyes, the studs, the size, structure and excellent quality of the overall design and construction. Personalizing it with my own strap made it perfect-it's definitely a reflection my personality. I'm a music photographer-a little bit rock and roll and a little bit nerdy. Can't wait for the speckled black double octopus charm to come back in stock so I can get one of those too. Love, love, love!!!! It was a little bit of a splurge but so worth it.

I have bought four purses this year!!! I love them all so much! This one is understated but also has a little flare:)
