Love this video by the way! Haven’t seen anybody make content like this so thanks for comparing the brands.

[@Nicole-zr1me]

That immediately made me want that cuyana bag- so cute!

[@Nettesvideo]

I realize this is by now an old video, however, I was astonished you chose the tophandle one. Both the Polene bags were spot on.

[@DH-pt2fs]

Great video. Just a quick helpful tip, the Beri strap adjustment is not at all complicated. It's one of the easiest strap adjustments ever created lol all you do is slide the knots to lengthen or shorten the strap. Hope this helps :)

[@thevelvetpenny]

Ahhh thank you! It was so intimidating

[@KaleHello]

The strap is so thin that I fear if I hold to much in it, it may rip. The Tonca is a bit better

[@Nicole-zr1me]

I woulda picked the same one, so cute!

[@stacyebrim9702]

Beautiful bags, great review! I especially love the shape and size of the first Cuyana bag. I'm shifting to buying vegan bags these days, otherwise I'd be snatching one of these up!

[@kymmievu8600]

I love the polene bags a lot more, Tonca ones looks so nice on you. Also Beri straps is very easy to slide up and down to adjust to your heights, but because you didn’t do it made it didn’t look as nice on you because it was too short. Also you purchased the two color tonca that’s why the strap is a different color than the body of the bag.

[@thelittlethings678]

polene tonca looked great on you!

[@mimipeq3000]

If only one to keep? I’d keep Beri!❤️🙌🏽

[@thevelvetpenny]

Ahh Beri was so cute! And that leather was 👌🏼❤️

[@marisolwang154]

I would choose the Tonka 🙌🏻

[@MoMixMasta03]

It’s a slide adjustable strap you keep it tied and just pull the opposing string to adjust

[@Coralista_zee]

I am thinking about getting a Beri in black 😊

[@epicbeautyo]

My experience- Cuyana lacks in quality and doesn’t hold up well

[@salkordi90]

The cuyana double loop 😍

[@pueblodove]

I like the Polene bags

[@janerdei170]

Tonca! 2nd is the mini loop.

[@thevelvetpenny]

That’s a pretty awesome mix

[@martinaholler4795]

I would keep the Beri.

[@thevelvetpenny]

Such a good choice!

[@missshananicole]

I would chose the Beri.

[@thevelvetpenny]

No lie, I still can’t stop thinking about the Beri 💔

[@missshananicole]

@@thevelvetpenny I’m considering it. Get a cardholder and you’ll be fine. 🤎

[@nelukic]

Tonca!!! I ordered it 20 days ago and it has still not arrived! How dis you managed to received it before 6/24?

[@thevelvetpenny]

I honestly think I got lucky! I ordered on 5/23, but every time I’ve checked after that the Tonca has been sold out.

[@Mochi.Niko.and.Me1]

Tonka

[@m.m.9564]

It says on the website that the camel is duo. And shows you swatches of the two leathers used 🙈

[@olgabuimistr]

Hart to say why, but I find the Bery the most beautiful for me, even when I don’t like that strap at _all 😂😂

[@JayleneNg]

Can you tell me the height of the Beri without handle? The website has the height but I think it included the top handle. I want to see if my Kindle can fit.

[@thevelvetpenny]

I wasn’t able to take measurements before but I think it might be a little small for a kindle. Hope this helps!

[@AnnettaDarandri]

The Cuyana Cappuccino shade ❤ Wished Polene had that color; I think the closest was their Umi in Clay.
Agree how some Polene can be impractical. I want the Tonca but not sure I’d want to hold the flaps while getting thigs in and out 😕
And I also think with what you pack, you need slightly bigger bag than these 😅

[@rheanana.ph_germany]

I would choose Polene but in a different style, like numero un or neuf or cyme but not these two 😂 ✌️

[@andreasalmon3430]

Poline bag half moon bag

[@anutash8037]

I liber that to

[@thevelvetpenny]

That bag was 🔥

[@ajlajkitbre]

HOW DO YOU PUT YOUR STUFF IN THE BAG? INSIDE IS SUCH A MESS. YOU COULD ARRANGE IT BETTER
