I was sent the Melie Bianco Convertible Bag w/ Raw Edges in brown to review. This is such a nice bag, and it has even been featured in a couple popular magazines, including People, Us Weekly, and Self. With just one look at this bag, you'll immediately notice it's beauty, but you'll also quickly see why it's a bestseller. From the design to the stitching to the raw edges and the gold-toned accents, I love everything about it, and it all works together to create one gorgeous, unique bag. Like all Melie Bianco bags, this bag is "animal friendly," which means it's made from soft faux leather. Inside, it's lining, a beige satin material with brown polka-dots, is super cute! There are also two small side pockets and one large zippered side pocket inside.

The size of this bag is absolutely perfect! It's rather spacious inside and can hold practically everything I need. I also very much love the versatility that this bag provides as you can carry it three different ways!!! It's essentially three bags in one -- easily converting from a tote to a shoulder bag by simply attaching the the optional strap/chain and when folded over, it becomes a chic clutch!

If you're limited on storage space, like I am, this is a great bag to own! It's a beautiful, high-quality bag that is incredibly versatile and will look fantastic with any look/outfit and for any occasion/event.
