JW PEI Ladies’s Harlee Shoulder Bag

Cute everyday black bag
Obsessed with this perfect small bag. It’s structured and great quality. Only thing is it doesn’t stand up on its own.

Very chic
I would love it even more if it were just an inch deeper.

Big and Good Quality
Bigger than I expected, will fit a lot. Zipper is nice and normal. The gold circle on the handle opens so you can add charms!

Muy mala cremallera
La cremallera de muy mala calidad, desde el 3er día no cerraba bien y al final se dañó y no cierra. El bolso es muy bonito y de buena calidad en general menos en la cremallera, que es de muy mala calidad.

I’ve been eyeing this particular JW Pei style for months. It’s a highly underrated bag — you’ll see few reviews on TikTok and IG for this. But as it’s reminiscent of Aesther Ekme and The Row, at this price point ($129CAD) I had to give it a try.First, the color. It’s a rich cognac shade that will do just as well this summer as it will in the fall (although my palette is pretty consistent year round — I’m in neutrals in any season). It does lean ever so slightly orange, depending on what you’re wearing it against. Although I’m typically averse to orange, it’s not so much that it bothers me. And the gold hardware is not gaudy at all; it’s soft and subtle and just right.Next, the shape and size. The asymmetry is so much fun. It fits comfortably over the shoulder, even with a thick jacket or sweater. If you carry a lot, you’re not going to be satisfied with the capacity of this bag, but if you’re like me and only carry a card case, keys, lip gloss, mints, AirPods and a lot of loose, forgotten receipts, it’ll do just fine. The photo I’ve posted shows how a card case fits at the highest point. Lots of room.The zipper is smooth, too. No issues there.Overall, for a little over $120, it’s a sound purchase. I must have a thing right now for what a friend calls “crooked handbags,” because this is guaranteed to be in regular rotation with my black Ekme Lune (crooked) and my cream Staud Acute (crooked). Way cheaper than those two, though, so for now, JW Pei for the win.

Molto bella, anche da tutti i giorni, l’unica cosa che mi sento di consigliarvi è di controllare bene le dimensioni perché me l’aspettavo un po’ più capiente!
