One of my first fashion loves was the handbag. Since the time I started getting an allowance, I’ve been spending my hard earned dolla dolla bills on handbags, and things haven’t changed since! Meet my most recent handbag addition: The Teddy Blake Ava 11″ in Fuschia! This is my third Teddy Blake handbag and I’m in love! If you’re interested, you can check out my previous posts reviewing the Kate Vitello and Kim Stampatto if you’d like to see my other Teddy Blake pieces…they’re all beautiful!
A Little Bit About Teddy Blake
In case you are new here and you’ve never heard of Teddy Blake, allow me to introduce you to one of my favorite affordable luxury handbag brands! Teddy Blake is a New York based brand whose goal is to bring high quality, luxury handbags to the marketplace at an attainable price.
How do they do this? Well, many big luxury fashion houses have a lot of overhead costs that go into the marketing of their brand. Things like fashion shows, print ads in magazines, commercials, and all the individuals involved in all those things and more cost a lot of money. When you by a designer handbag yes, you are buying a bag made of high quality leather and other materials, but you are also mostly paying for that designer label on your bag.
With Teddy Blake, you aren’t paying that hefty price tag because they aren’t engaging in those “traditional” luxury fashion marketing tactics. Teddy Blake handbags are still crafted from high quality leather by artisans in Italy, but there is no price on the label. While their bags aren’t cheap, you are paying a fair price for beautiful handbags in classic shapes. Seriously, all their styles will be something you can love and carry for many years to come.
The Ava 11″ Review
I’ve been on the hunt for the perfect hot pink handbag for a while now. Its actually been a goal of mine to have a handbag in every color because…why not?! When I spotted the Teddy Blake Ava 11″ in Fuschia, it was love at first sight. My other two Teddy Blake handbags are both slightly bigger, so I wanted to try something a little more compact this time. The Ava 11″ is honestly the perfect size! It can comfortably fit my iphone 13 pro max, checkbook wallet, keyring, a powder, some lipsticks, and sunglasses with room to spare. It truly fits everything I need to carry on a day to day basis, and then some.

I love the pebbled stampatto leather as well. Pebbled leather is a great option when you are a little bit more abusive to your handbag. Because the leather already has a texture to it, you don’t have to worry so much about being precious with your handbag. If it does get a little scratched, its not going to show nearly as much as a smoother leather would.
Also…can we talk about this pink?! Seriously, is going to be the perfect bag for spring and summer!
The interior of the Teddy Blake Ava is also stunning…it is a beautiful matching pink suede. There are some great interior pockets on the inside as well. If you want to see the full unboxing and this bag in action, make sure to check out my youtube video here:
