A few months ago I attended an event and at the end of the day we were given a goody bag which contained a Mia Tui cross over body bag! I know, brilliant, right?! There and then I fell in love with the colour and the gorgeous soft leather, not to mention their beautiful designs.
When I returned from the event I looked at their website, checking out their bigger bags to add to my Christmas list. Now Baby is potty trained, we don’t need to carry a dedicated changing bag and I fancied a new bag which was more for me. Mia Tui have it covered, with a stunning range of bags that are multi-purpose; baby changing bags, gym bags, work bags, you choose. They are so cleverly designed that they span so many purposes with ease.
Then I was asked if I would like to review a bag, which was a perfect opportunity to indulge myself. I chose the Grace, which is a messenger cross-body satchel.
The Grace is such a clever design and is perfect for a busy woman who likes options! There is an additional strap which comes with the bag and simply attaching this to the bag, almost doubles the length of the strap and means that in a couple of seconds you go from a traditional shoulder bag to a cross over body bag. Perfect!
The outer is faux-leather, which is so soft and I completely adore the colour.
As if the exterior of the bag isn’t pretty enough, the interior is brilliant too. Very functional and made from waterproof fabric, with lots of clever additions. There is a pen holder, key clip, phone pocket, insulated bottle holder and a clear zipped bag.
I adore the hot pink interior colour and the zipped closure means I don’t spill the contents everywhere when I am juggling shopping and carrying a toddler.
Gone are the days when the waterproof bag would have housed nappies or wet baby clothes. Now it is a fabulous place to keep all my makeup and bits and bobs together. It would also be really handy to have if you are travelling.
The bag also comes with a matching clutch bag. Made from the same gorgeous faux-leather and in the same colour it is such a handy grab bag. It could be used to store personal items within the main bag or would be perfect for a night out.
There is quite a sizeable zipped pocket on the front of the bag, which is handy for ‘need to grab quickly’ items.
The Grace is available to for just £45 which is really good for such a quality bag. At the moment it is actually on sale for £39.99.
I was also sent a Sue re-usable shopper bag. I NEVER remember to take bags with me when I go shopping so I thought having this bag might help. It folds away into itself and so can be easily kept in your bag without demanding too much space.
There are two main compartments and a smaller zipped area in the middle, perfect for keeping all your shopping goodies separate and organised. I found it so useful to be able to whip it out when I forgot a bag for life. It is very strong and is built to last, so for £5 I think it is a bargain.
Well done Mai Tui for designing bags which looks amazing and are so practical too.
Disclosure: I was sent these bags in return for an honest review.

What a lovely colour and shape, I love messenger style bags as they’re so much easier to carry when you’re chasing a toddler round! The inner shower is a great idea too.
That is such a gorgeous colour, I love my Mia Tui bag and use it all the time 🙂
Love the colour of these. I’ve always admired other people’s Mia Tui bags, but haven’t taken the plunge to buy one because I prefer leather. But they’re a bargain when you think what you get with them

I wouldn’t have known it wasn’t real leather. Looks so good and it is so soft x
I was in the same event so got the same bag 🙂 The faux leather on these is really good quality. I prefer real leather, but I do have to say, these were top quality faux. It is very durable too. Lovely looking bag!
