The Thea Flat Wallet Cross Body!

This is my first ever Tory Burch purchase so I thought I'd do a thorough review.

Colour: I originally wanted this bag in a French Gray buy just as I was about to purchase it online it went out of stock. I was considering the black anyway so went ahead and bought it in black with GHW. I've used the bag about 5 times (football games, a coffee dates, shopping) and so far it has gone with every outfit. It is very understated and the embossed logo keeps it very much under the radar. I think it looks very chic and can be dressed up or down. I do wish I had one of the lighter colours so I had more options in spring/summer.

Material/Quality: I love the pebbled leather. It feels very luxurious in the same way my mulberry bags feel. Although not a well known brand in the UK, I think it's very clear just by looking at the bag that it's excellent quality. I hope it'll age well. I need this bag to last me at least 2-3 years of continuous use.

Function: I bought this bag so I could have my essentials (phone, money, keys) close to hand and not have to share my son's diaper bag. I also wanted to be hands free and avoid chain straps (I use one with my LV Pochette and sometimes it can dig in my shoulder). I can fit in everything I need plus sunglasses in a soft case, lip gloss and some sweets (for the football game!). On the longest length it's a great cross body bag (I'm 5ft 6') and I will also use it as a shoulder bag for nights out (might need to add holes for this, I've not tried it yet). This is my first WOC (ok, WOS: wallet on a strap!) and I'm hooked!

I hope this has helped anyone considering this bag.

TL;DR- great bag. Lovely leather. Goes with everything and fits all the essentials!

Fantastic review! Welcome to the TB world. I would call the Mayfair store and ask them to put you on their client list, that way they'll inform you of promotions and sales. Here in the US they have about 4 sales a year and a couple of private sales too, keep checking back for the French gray it could pop up again.
 
Thanks for the insightful review and welcome to TB! The brand is definitely hard to come by in the UK so it's not as "loud" as other brands. Also you know you made a good choice when you're thinking of getting the same style just in a different colour[emoji6] Hopefully you can find the French Grey!
