Advantages: Looks great, lovely colours, roomy

Disadvantages: Expensive, inner lining quite shoddy

Nica are one of those funky chic designer ranges you see in department stores alongside other premium ranges such as Radley and Mischa Barton. They design bags that are really different and somewhat unusual looking which all carry the little gold fish logo and usually some sort of clip-on colourful charm.

I have this bag in the coral pink colour. It does come in a range of colours but the coral is particularly pretty and surprisingly goes with quite a lot of other colours.

The bag inside is very roomy - a huge zip close compartment with a little phone pouch contained within. The bag fastens with a sturdy magnetic clasp.

All their bags appear to be faux leather, including this one. The material is very soft and does have a leather look to it so it is a good quality faux leather at least.

While I love this bag and use it all the time, I do have 2 little issues with it;

1) These bags are not cheap. While I agree they are really well designed and look great, at the end of the day they are not real leather and so are made of material which is more than likely not expensive. This should be reflected in their prices. £60 for a fake leather bag is asking a bit too much and I think at those prices I would be inclined to pay that bit extra for a good leather bag instead.

2) The lining inside is not the strongest in the world. Mine burst and I ended up with a collection of goods stuck inbetween the lining and the outside of the bag. So don't stuff it too full! Have now sewn it back up and seems to be ok for now.

Summary: Would buy another (if was in the sale)
