This is stunning! I always find that having equipment that I love, like beautiful pens and notebooks, just makes me so much more excited to write. I see a whole Lexi trilogy coming thanks to that amazing bag! 😃
I just got my XL - in the color Jade and it's absolutely gorgeous it's soooo beautiful and the quality is outstanding I'm so so so in loved with mine too. Just like you mentioned it's my dream Writer's/Sketching bag too💚💚💚 great video
I absolutely adore Galen Leather. I have one zippered 10-slot pen case from them, and several leather notebooks with Tomoe River paper. Love them all so much! I regularly visit their website just to drool, there's plenty more stuff of theirs I desperately want to add to my collection!
I love how you express your emotions about this bag throughout the video. It's very obvious how much you love it and how much it means to you.❤ This is such a lovely bag! I'm so happy you finally found your writer's bag❤
Wow, wow ,wow Lexi!! What a simply stunning writer's bag! So much love and history in one bag, what's not to love? Congratulations to Galen Leather on beautiful craftsmanship, gosh I wish they could send me one also . 🙂❤
The bag looks like a dream! Functional yet aesthetic. Plus it's hand-crafted with a meaningful history? This seems like such a good Christmas gift item. Those fountain pens are almost fooling me into thinking they're all I need to suddenly become a master calligrapher, too. I hope this means we might get a writing vlog featuring the bag sometime (NaNo is just around the corner 👀)
I've been collecting high end bags for a long time. An expensive passion in addition to being a composer! I frequently use my Mulberry Oak Bayswater to carry around my scores. Also my Strathberry large tote in burgundy - it features a signature golden bar as a closure which is what ye olde music manuscript bags had so I really like that symbolism. Love that Galen bag! The suede is brushed beautifully, a very high quality bag indeed! A lot of brands just use the raw side of the leather (suede) but leave it as is, and it stays very rough. It's an added step to brush it smooth but it really makes a difference.
I forgot you mention you loved fountain pens. Seeing that in the bag was so cool!!! I would love to see your collection one day. The bag is so beautiful and looks so high quality!
@@alexandraroselyn I love leather travelers notebooks! They have always given me dark academia vibes! If you are interested other places, handstitchedleathert and chic Sparrow have great leather notebooks too!
I would loveeeee writing content, maybe more writing vlogs or a "write with me" where you just sit and write and we can do it with you. I love to write too but I can't focus so it's nice to write along with someone else
I would read anything in any genre written by you given your personality and sense of humour. Can't wait! Good Luck Lexi! Hope this bag brings all your writer's mojo....
I'm not even a writer and I still want this bag just to bring my school stuff around!! And can I just say how AMAZING your Halloween decor is!!! Dream vibes!!
Is it silly to want to write a book just so I can justify owning this bag? The green one is gorgeous! Also, you said you are trying to read Frankenstein but want to do more of a book study of it. I found a podcast, Close Reads, and they discussed Frankenstein back in June 2020. A professor who is also planning on publishing an annotated version of it is one of the guest hosts. Listening to it makes me feel like I’m back at school ❤️📚
I love the green one as well! And omg thank you so much for this!! I’m going to take a screenshot so I can look up the podcast later that sounds perfect!!
I’m curious how your bag has been holding up. Would you do another video showing how you’ve been doing with it? I’ve heard the straps sometimes give way, but I can’t find any video of the bag except as new.
I have a few things from Galen Leather. I found them through Foutain Pens. The Medic/Writers Bag is on my wish list for the future!! I am so excited to see what you do with this bag!!
What a beautiful bag! I'm an artist and I would love to fill it up with all my sketchbooks, pencils and pens for easy travel...of course the current book I'm reading too. 😊 Thanks for sharing!
@@alexandraroselyn aren’t they?!?! I love them. There are quite a few more and they are just as cute. You are the only one (aside from my mom) who I have heard reads children’s books because they want to. I love that. 😁📖📚
@@alexandraroselyn I just love to journal but using actual notebook stickers then I found the love of scrapbooking with old newspapers and flowers and tickets and things like that!!!! And also for poetry
@@alexandraroselyn aww thank you so much!!!! We don’t really see them at Goodwill.. but hopefully the day will come when I can find one if not there then maybe Walmart might have them
Omg! I love you I have been a silent watcher for a while. And didn't think of subscribing idk why lol. I have read so many books you have recommended! You make my day every time I see a new video and always stuck on your videos lol.
I’ve bought approx 17,000 writers bags. It must be big enough for my laptop, my planner, 87 pens, and my chargers. Also I need a long strap so I can slap it on my back messenger style. I tend to carry a purse as well since I always worry if I leave my laptop in my car and won’t always take both if I know I’m not going to be writing. Also, the water bottle can never go into a laptop bag ;). Whatever bag, make sure you use Dropbox because losing a manuscript sucks.
I didn’t know that it had a name lol 🤦♀️ I been saying I want those bags that look bookish and leather made and it has to be brown lol smh well thank you now I know what to search for lol
Hi!!! Sorry to bother, I was wondering if after one year of using the medic bag has anything changed? Did you happen to have any issues with the magnets on the sides? Are they holding up well? I just ordered mine 5 days ago because it was out out of stock for several months! I am pretty excited to receive it! Being myself an artist I was very excited about buying this bag instead of the WW2 medic bag who was more expensive and with less space.
Thanks for the review. This bag comes in two sizes. This review is for the large size option. I would get a smaller size. That looks like a better option for me.
Would you happen to know the exact name of the song playing in the background when you were showing what you put in the bag? I keep hearing it, and I can never find out the actual name of the piece of music.😩
Love your videos! Wanted to leave a reading recommendation, I'm currently reading Cackle by Rachel Harrison and it sounds like a spooky season book you might like! Also the movie The Words is such a perfect inspiration for a new writers satchel
I understand why you would be uncomfortable with cow leather, but faux leather is not biodegradable, it's plastic. it's not eco-friendly. please consider using non-synthetic cloth bags instead.
Well….between us Grace I was going to but…I’m kind of thinking of trying to post every single day in December so I think I’ll have to use most of November to prep for that. But idk yet we’ll see!
In order to become I writer, I would suggest a composition notebook and a crappy laptop you hate. I have great notebooks, fountain pens and paper, but those all distract. Even the iPad pro. Use crap gear and the writing will be all that you have left to drive you. Use the romanticize stuff for fun only.
When did you graduate with your LS degree? I graduated in the summer. Are you already working in a library? Unfortunately, there aren’t a lot of library positions where I live and I might have to move.
I graduated this spring! And yeah there aren’t any full time positions here either but luckily doing TH-cam is helping me have an income. Good luck my friend!! May you end up in your dream library filled with all the cozy books! ❤️❤️❤️
If you didn't believe in the product enough to pay for it, why should anyone else? If it was a good product you would have purchased it instead of being for it for free. I'll be sure to write them and let them know I was going to buy this products from them, but then I saw reviews on TH-cam and not a single TH-cam paid for their products. Which tells me the products aren't quality enough to be purchased even with free money. So I'll save my money and make my own. Thank you for showing me this product isn't worth paying for.
This bag really is beautiful. 🧡 I would only wish it to be fake leather. In this era when we are capable to make truly great quality fake leather... We should just stop using animals's skin for things. 🐄🐖 ... Sorry for this negativity. I still love you and your videos and I know you didn't do anything wrong. Using animals just makes me sad... Wish you lots of love, good luck and health 🍀
I agree I think a faux leather bag would be a really great option. Hopefully they can have that as an option in the future!! Also thank you for sharing your thoughts, I can tell you have a really kind heart ❤️❤️❤️
Crazy Horse tan in kind of offensive. It's another exploitation and commercialization of Native American images. I'm Lakota and I know descendants of Crazy Horse's family.

Oh wow I was unaware of the history thank you for sharing! I went ahead and removed the name of the leather from my description to be as respectful as possible and I’ll remember the association and significance of the name going forward!❤️
Nice review. Thanks. I had to stop watching mid-way though as your transitions / white flashes were a bot too much and started to strain my eyes. Please minimize next time. Just a constructive criticism, I hope this helps. Thanks.
I've never dreamed of having a writers bag.... until now 👀
I can’t wait to go to a cafe with it!!
Same.
