Olivia + Joy Vegan Bags Review

Review of three different Olivia + Joy vegan bags. Read what I found to decide whether their bags are right for you.

Disclosure: Ad. The bags are samples that I received from Olivia + Joy for review. They do not endorse the review. I wrote it entirely myself and it reflects my own honest opinion.

Olivia + Joy Have Affordable Vegan Bag Collections

Today I want to introduce you to Olivia + Joy. This brand’s mission is to offer fashion-savvy women of any age fashion-forward bags for any occasion at an affordable price. Their collections encompass pleather handbags and accessories for various styles from Bohemian Style, over girly, edgy, to professional, corporate style, all with a trendy twist.

Their collections, for instance, offer everything from cute for Sunday’s Best or the Easter brunch outfit, over sexy for date night out, sporty casual for going to the gym, a play date, walking the dog, or heading to the beach, to structured and sophisticated for work. The Rock’N Roll gal can find bags with studs and chains, while the hard-to-die Romantic Style lover finds bags with bows and ruffles.

Olivia + Joy Keeps You Covered with Vegan Bags for Every Occasion

When You Are on a Budget, Two bags in One Are a Solution

The clutch is very classic with a snake imprint and a chain handle that is large enough to comfortably have the clutch hanging down on the wrist while holding a plate at a buffet. The neutral colors permit wearing it at any festivity, from holidays to the opera, theater, date night out, and at a casual afternoon wedding reception.

Because the clutch comes with a detachable strap, you can also wear it as a crossbody mini bag with jeans, a T-shirt/sweater, and a cardigan for a casual, polished weekend look.

A Bright Bag Is a Perfect Pop of Color in Winter

The classic doctor bag style in bright color is great to stand out in the crowd of gray, brown, navy, and black winter looks. The classic, well-known doctor bag silhouette allows for a bold statement color without appearing over the top. A balance well done. This bag is also available in colors that suit even the corporate style color palette. There is no easier way to up your mood with color on a rainy day than with a bold color bag.

You Can’t Go Wrong with a Classic Straw Bag Look for Summer

The Olivia + Joy summer bag is a twist on the well-known classic silhouette of a straw bag with a pleather frame. The straw part is woven. The bag features a handle and a chain link with a pleather strap, allowing hands to remain free.

Tip: Hobo bags, bucket bags, slouchy carry-alls, and straw bags. You can’t go wrong with leather bags for any of these styles.

Olivia + Joy Have Professionally Looking Vegan Work Bags

The crocodile imprint satchel has a front pocket with a zipper closure, a lock-like charm, and four screws for decoration. The main compartment zipper can be closed with a push-button.

All their bags have a lovely Olivia + Joy printed lining. Such lining interiors go without saying for high-end, expensive bags. All darts and seams are sewn with the same width on all the bags.

Olivia + Joy’s Bags Keep You Organized

The photos above illustrate the bag’s functionality. The roomy compartments fit even a tablet or laptop. One compartment has two side pockets to fit a phone, a wallet, or sunglasses.

These multiple pockets inside the Olivia + Joy work bags allow you to organize and find everything when you need it.

The bags have a zip pocket large enough to hold a passport. There is a flat pocket on the back that is accessible without opening the main compartment of the bag. This feature is perfect for slipping in a metro ticket or a boarding pass. Unless you overload this pocket, it stays invisible.

How to Style a Pleather Bag?

I styled the bag American Classic style à la Jackie Kennedy. Wearing the bag with a floral dress, a fit-and-flare dress, or a floral skirt and blazer for work are other great options. This Olivia + Joy bag is perfect for pairing with jeans and a T-shirt, making it ideal for trips to the beach or walks with the dog.

Olivia + Joy Vegan Bags Review in a Nutshell

Their bags feel soft like leather and are easy-to-style vegan bags for all kinds of occasions. They are very affordable, yet offer high quality and an outstanding price-performance ratio.

Everyone who strives for vegan fashion will love these bags because they are recognizable as vegan products.

While I loved donning faux leather as much as the real ones as a kid, today I feel I am better suited to real, full-grain leather.
