This Not That: Clare V. Moyen Messenger Bag

This post is a little different for me over here at TNT — for the first time I haven’t tried the luxury version… and honestly? I don’t think I need to.

Last summer, I had my eye on the Clare V. moyen messenger bag but never pulled the trigger. Then Quince targeted me with what looked like the exact same bag for a fraction of the price — and I jumped on it #noregrets

I got the small size, and it’s been the perfect casual summer bag. You can wear it crossbody or on the shoulder (my fave), and it was my go-to every day while traveling through Portugal. It held all my essentials, felt structured without being stiff, and looked effortlessly chic.

This was actually my first Quince purchase — and the start of a full-on obsession. Expect more recs soon because they seriously deliver. 🙌
