Instantly recognizable by its scrunchie-inspired handle, the \u201cGabbi\u201d comes in a slew of saturated shades including grass green, peacock blue and bright pink, although it\u2019s also available in neutral hues like black and ivory.<\/p>\n
But is the hot handbag worth the hype? For the debut episode of Page Six Style\u2019s new shopping-focused video series, \u201cHeart to Cart,\u201d I ordered one to try out at home.<\/p>\n\n
While some faux leather styles tend to have an off-putting, plasticky smell, that wasn\u2019t the case with this petite purse. It also felt buttery soft to the touch, and fit all of my usual essentials \u2014\u00a0although if you\u2019re hoping to carry more than your phone, keys, lipstick, face mask and a small wallet, you might be out of luck.<\/p>\n
The \u201cGabbi\u201d was also a breeze to dress up and down; I wore it first with a tank top, denim skirt and sneakers, and later with a puff-sleeved floral midi dress and block-heeled sandals. In both cases, it earned me compliments \u2014\u00a0score!<\/p>\n
My only quibble? While JW Pei\u2019s website (and Ratajkowski\u2019s street style snaps) suggests the bag can be slung over the shoulder, many might find the handle too short for that; it\u2019s easier to just carry it in your hand or the crook of your arm.<\/p>\n Adv<\/em>.<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n But at well under $100, this affordable accessory\u2019s still a smart buy for anyone looking to snag a little model-off-duty style.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.thefastfashion.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/hailey-baldwin.jpg\")
