February is such a nice combination of winter, with glimpses of spring. I love how a few blossoms are starting to pop up on trees, yet mornings and evenings are still cool, and crisp. It is a great time of year to play with spring accessories such as nail polish and handbags, while still staying warm in a cozy sweater and jeans.
One of my favorite parts of 2021 is the resurgence of classic IT bags which had a moment one or two decades ago. It’s fabulous to see how some bags have staying power, and continue to be well loved. I love both of the bags featured today; and I wear mine often! If you haven’s invested in at least one yet, I highly recommend investing! They are both high quality and extremely well made. You will love wearing them; or one of them at least!
February is “Go Red for Women” month; and Friday, February 5, 2021, is National Wear Red Day. Why are we wearing red this month you ask? Well, thank you for asking! Wearing red is an easy way to help raise awareness about heart disease. Heart disease is the number one killer of women; so it is important that women know what signs to look for, and how to stay healthy so that we can all stay ahead of heart disease, and keep ourselves heart healthy.

How cute is this Mansur Gavriel mini Cloud clutch! As you know, pouch clutches are a hot IT bag style, and Mansur Gavriel’s is one of the two hottest pouches out there. I have owned the regular size Cloud clutch in black for a little over one year, and I love it. So when Mansur Gavriel introduced the mini version last year, I was eyeing it right away. Now, I have finally broken down and purchased one for myself!
As much as I love my regular sized Cloud clutch, sometimes I want to carry something a little bit smaller; and with a strap. The Mansur Gavriel mini Cloud clutch is just the right size to carry my purse essentials. It also has a thin strap which can be worn cross body, or over the shoulder. I prefer it over the shoulder as it hits me on the bottom of my ribs if I wear it cross body; that being said, if you need to wear it cross body, it can be done.
The Mansur Gavriel mini Cloud clutch comes in a variety of beautiful colors. I chose Spiga, which is a soft, yet medium, yellow hue. Spiga, or yellow, is very pretty; and it also happens to be the color of the year! Love that!
Mansur Gavriel mini Cloud clutch | what fits inside the mini Cloud
The Mansur Gavriel mini Cloud clutch is quite roomy inside. I can fit my wallet, phone, lipstick, keys, and also place my sunglasses on top. The bag still closes without an issue, despite all of those items. The closure on the mini Cloud clutch is a frame closure with a magnetic reinforcement in the center of the frame. It’s very sturdy and secure. I definitely feel safe from pickpockets with this bag! It will make a fabulous bag for travel once the pandemic is over. Love it!
Mansur Gavriel Cloud clutch side by side comparison
Since there are two Cloud clutches by Mansur Gavriel, I thought it only right to show you a side-by-side comparison of the two so you can see what is going on size-wise. The original Cloud clutch is much larger than the mini. It offers the interior capacity of a medium shoulder bag, while the mini offers the interior capacity of a small, cross body bag.
If you love the smaller size, and would still like to wear it as a clutch rather than a shoulder bag or cross body bag, you can! The strap easily tucks inside the bag or can be removed completely. Although, I recommend tucking it in rather than removing it; you never know when you will want the versatility of switching to a shoulder bag or cross body bag.
Shop the Mansur Gavriel mini Cloud clutch online:
All in all, this is a fabulous handbag. The leather is buttery soft, and the construction is extremely sturdy; just like all bags by Mansur Gavriel. It is available in a variety of seasonal hues, as well as classic neutrals. I’m in love with this bag! I also love that it is priced under $500. Love that!
Thanks for stopping by!
XOXO
