Thrifty & Chic: Bow Purse + Giveaway – CLOSED

281 Comments

This post is brought to you by Tai Pan Trading.

One of my blogging friends, Jenni, always has rad giveaways. She works for Tai Pan Trading, a Utah-based wholesale home decor store (which has the awesomest stuff, btw) so she frequently features new items in stock & gives them away. Two weeks ago I won one of her giveaways & scored this incredibly sweet bow bag:

My old purse was starting to look really ratty when I won this purse; the timing couldn’t have been better.

I love how small this purse is while still fitting everything I need: wallet, keys, phone, business cards, pens, usb drive & poopy clutch. I also love that it has two detachable handles, a drop handle & a messenger bag-style handle. The messenger bag handle is perfect while riding my bike & wrangling Penelope. This purse normally retails for about $29.99. Not bad, right? I’m used to spending about $30 (give or take) for a purse. What about you?

Head over to your local Tai Pan Trading to drool over and buy their many wonderful purses. If you’re not near one (sucks to be you), you might want to try these alternates online:

Bow Bags

Watermelon Bags

Let me know if you find any other bags on the internets that are worth adding to the list!


That bow brings out the big in your head.

Penelope's hairbow

Nathan’s sister-in-law, Brooke, made matching blue bows for all of her daughters and was kind enough to make an extra for Pen. She did the hard part of making the bow, I just added a few feathers here and there. I think it looks sweet in Penelope’s hair, but I ended up wearing it most of the time. I’ll probably get the most use out of it in the long run, too!
