GUYS, I’m excited! remember when I reviewed my Senreve Maestra bag and shared how much I like it? It works really well as an everyday bag—be it a work bag, a mommy bag, or just a bag to carry all of your daily necessities. I continued to carry it and utilize it for months—there is no color transfer, and I’m so impressed by that on a white bag. When we first introduced Senreve bags, I did share that a mini Maestra was on its method as well, and Senreve was kind enough to send me this bag to compare to the larger size.
Well, I can now state I’m even a lot more in like with the Senreve mini Maestra than the larger size! As Millie’s gotten older, she’s undoubtedly gotten heavier and is a lot more to manage because she’s always wanting to be on the move, and I don’t need to carry quite as lots of products with me at all times. She’s so heavy and not walking yet, so I normally carry her into places, and I need a bag that is both lightweight but incredibly functional. enter the mini Maestra—this bag is everything to me ideal now!
I sometimes find the Maestra a bit large when I don’t need all the extra space, so the mini Maestra is best (actually, Senreve, maybe we need a medium size, because I’d carry and like that too). The interior has lots of organizational setup—seven compartments in total. The padded compartment at the back of the bag fits an iPad mini, but I utilize it for diapers, a little pack of wipes, and cream. There are four little sleeve pockets, and they in shape an iphone plus, together with an additional larger zipper pocket for other loose items; that’s where I keep Millie’s EpiPen, hand sanitizer, and her other must-have products that I don’t reach for all the time.
The exterior of the bag has the exact same details as the larger size, just shrunken down. There is a front flap closure with a collar stud belt. You get pretty quick at opening and closing the bag, and typically I don’t snap the front belt, but it’s magnetic, so fastening it isn’t hard. like other Senreve bags, the interior is lined in a light blue micro-suede which is lightweight and light in color, which means you can find what you’re looking for quickly. The back has an exterior open pocket, but on the smaller size, it’s as well little for me to utilize extremely much. like all other Senreve bags, you can carry this bag multiple ways: over-the-shoulder, on the arm, crossbody, or backpack, as the double straps are easy to adjust and change the method you carry the bag, but I always opt for over-the-shoulder or crossbody.
As for the leather, it’s so good! The bag is 100% made in Italy, an aspect the Senreve team prides itself on, and the leather on this bag is Italian water-resistant pebbled leather. It’s incredibly sturdy and durable (it’s scratch resistant), yet still soft to the touch and has a smooth appearance. If you need to clean the bag, just wipe with a moist cloth—no soap. I so appreciate that I can really utilize these bags, and even opt for light colors since I know they won’t wear quickly—this blush color is as well pretty to put into words.
I was instantaneously drawn to Senreve because the bags look modern, new and clean, and I really like how passionate the duo who established the brand feels toward their bags. The clean lines on each bag make the aesthetics strong, but it’s the usability and performance that puts these bags into the must-have category for me. I always liked the Senreve Maestra best, and now that I have both, I can confidently state these bags are really, really, really good. If you need something bigger and want to carry your laptop for work, opt for the original Maestra, but if you can go with a a lot more compact bag, the mini is for you.
