The last photos of each bag with the same outfit is so helpful! I love your reviews!

I would go

1: terrasse

2: domino

3:astra

4:henri

If I had to go for only one of them it would definitely be the terrasse

I think you’re in very good company. So many people love Terrasse, and thank you for not ripping me in the comment section for not being one of them. 😂

Well I love your style and reviews. They are quite useful And you have tested all 4 of them and know your own style perfectly and have every right to have a favorite bag . just like me and everyone else in the world. And the less people love the terrasse the less price surge on it. So I get a better chance of finding a good deal on it :)

💯 and it’s one of the reasons I enjoy the less popular items. Less demand and pressure on price. 😉

I tried all of these except Domino and hands down Henri is my favorite. Perfect day to day and even day to night. Such an understatement of a bag yet it’s so chic too!

I love this montage of all the outfits with a different bag. So brilliant.,Neelam.I am more a visual person so this comparison really shows the strong and weak points of each bag. I do have a weak spot for the ASTRA bag...as it was the first TR bag that I bought. I will definitely try on a HENRI next time I am in store. I love it when you get creative Neelam...It keeps us on our toes!

Oh thank you so much Liza. ❤️🙏🏽

Astra is a beauty and I love it on others. And sometimes I like it on me too, depends on what I’m wearing.

Fantastic idea to model all four bags with the same outfits. Fully with you re: Henri in grain leather being #1! It's stunning in real life too. Your reviews and attention to detail are unmatched Neelam. Thank you for everything you do 😍

Wonderful review, as always! Informative and succinct. And to echo the others — I love the styling compilation at the end.

I never pulled the trigger on Astra or Terrasse. Your breakdown helps me understand some of the reasons why! For now, loving India. Maybe Henri in the future. x

Thank you luv! I’d rank India higher than Astra and Terrasse too. I prefer hand-held bags, even though they aren’t nearly as practical.

Domino for me. Love the shape, structure, size, smooth skin. It’s a cleaner take on the Prada Bauletto from the 90s which is my ideal bag for most situations

Great article Neelam, this is so helpful, I love seeing the bags with the same outfits and having all the specs! Also love your all white outfit with the Krystal cardigan, so good!

Neelam Ahooja's avatar

Thank you, love! That Krystal cardigan is one of my best purchases from summer. It's so practical, the color is incredible, and I love the weight and feel of it. It goes with everything!

Loved this style of review-a little shift from your normal format. As always its informed, helpful and well done! For me, its the Domino, in either the black or the alligator (a girl can dream!) I havent been able to track one down yet, but good things come to those who wait. Thank you Neelam!
