Katré x Hello Kitty : Camden Tourist bag♥

source: Katré

As promised I will make a review about this bag.  I think this is the first time that Sanrio collaborated with a local Filipino (bag) brand - Katré.

I was really looking for a documents bag that I can use for work (for so loooong).  Last year I have to let go (retire) my old Mango documents bag which is super worn out (but I really loved that bag - it served it's purpose for more than 5 years).  So from that time I have been using an eco or reusable bags to carry of other stuff that I use at the office (until I find the best bag to replace my Mango bag).

Then I saw Katré in a sponsored post on Instagram:  they are advertising their upcoming collaboration - Hello Kitty.  When they uploaded a sneak peek of the collection I immediately fell in love with the Camden.  I thought it was an ordinary tote but to my surprise it was a three (3) way bag.  Aside from a regular hand bag, it can be used as a shoulder bag and backpack.  That is why it's also a perfect overnight bag.

The Bag:

• Exterior : Made of calf leather - its a slouchy leather bag with buttery feel.  It does not hold it's shape but not really a problem for me. It also comes with a Hello Kitty themed bag leather bag tag;
• Interior : Suede lining, one (1) zippered interior pocket and two (2) open pockets;
• Enclosure : Zip and snap enclosure;
• Dimension : 12" (L) x 15.5" (H) x 5.5" (W)

From the time, I bought and used my Prada nylon bag to work (and travel), one of my top requirements in choosing a bag is it's weight.  Since I carry a lot of abubots (knick knacks) a lightweight bag is really a must.   At the same time I don't want to stress my shoulders because I am not getting any younger.  Camden's wait is so-so for me, not to heavy not to light (just right for a leather bag).  But it's lighter than their Hanover bag.

Overall (♥♥♥♥.5)  I love the bag!  It fits it's purpose - as my documents bag.  At the same time I can also use it when I go out of town or vacation with my family and friends.  And of course it has my favorite character - Hello Kitty...

Til my next bag review!
