Basile Paris "Le Petit Apollon" Review

I was in Paris for the past 5 months I saw a few girls wearing it so I decided to buy one and I can tell you the quality is astounding, specially for the price.I used for 4 months almost everyday and it still looks brand new. It is crazy how much you can fit in it. Hightly recommended!

I still can't get over the color- it's gorgeous!

Your review was very thorough. I appreciated that you pointed out so many details (including the sound-ha ha!) It's nice to see a brand highlighted that isn't as well-known. Thanks!

This is beautiful bag, Julie! Love the color and wide strap.

I don't think I've heard of this brand before. It's such a beautiful bag. Love the style and the color is very pretty. Looks cute on you.

Now this is a beautiful bag, adore the top handle. Satchel bags are my favourite style. Love the compartments. She is definitely a stunner 💙

I’m so glad that people are finally beginning to produce reviews of this amazing bag! I purchased my light blue (looks baby blue but really is more of a dusty blue) in grained leather. I used it for two months, and full disclaimer, I was BRUTAL and ruthless on my bag. I refuse to worship my belongings, as they need to keep up with MY lifestyle instead of my having to baby it. It’s this same attitude that enabled me to cover a beautiful YSL evening bag with tons of scratches in 3 wears. I was shocked how much this could hold, as it’s deceptive because the 4 inch depth is what creates the additional storage space without making it “look” bigger. The hardware is probably the best part after the sensible organizational layout. It’s extremely heavy in a great substantial way. Two month of use and not a single scratch on the leather or the pretty hardware. I didn’t see any of the “tarnish” that she reported. I love the strap despite never using it. I prefer the ladylike feel of grabbing it by the handle, which also speaks to the excellent construction. Ladylike handles are my favorite, but the hardware on top takes on all the work of holding the weight of the bag. I’ve had other bags of this style by other makers but the handle wasn’t meant to support a full bag and the screws came off. Absolutely no issues with this one. Like she mentioned, the bag was shipped extremely quickly. I ordered it on a Monday night, and it arrived at my house in Florida by Thursday afternoon from Paris.

It's a gorgeous bag, and love the colour too. I love the top handle as well as the nice wide strap. This bag reminds me of Pochette Metis but better 😍💚 Thanks for sharing Julie. I will check them out 😍😘

That is a beautiful color and the strap looks comfortable and chic. Thanks for sharing your review. Peace and love..Suz What ☮️💛

Love the top handle - thanks for sharing this brand with us!

Gorgeous bag and great review. I love the colors they have on their website❤

Thanks for introducing this Less known Brand. Gorgeous bag.

This bag is gorgeous I had no heard of this brand thanks for the introduction. Love the shape and the color. I think it would be hard to keep the stickers on. And yes the Basile on the clasps is a nice touch. It looks nice on you. Oh I love that it is light weight. Yes bags can get heavy quickly. So happy you brought this brand to my attention! Just had to join keep up the thoughtful reviews here.👍🥰☺

beautiful bag - and so nice how durable it is! you are looking pretty in pink today my dear❤❤❤

Hello! Beautiful bag and of course that color😍💙

So pretty! I love the top handle

If I was a little bag lady. This would be my bag! She is beautiful.

THIS COLOR! THIS BAG! I need it.

Great review! I’m shocked how much the bag can hold!

I wonder where in Naples and what kind of factory make Basile bags. I'm interested in purchasing that Petit Apollon in Olive but I would like to avoid getting a bag made from a leather sweatshop factory. Naples or Italy in general has a lot of those. Otherwise the bag looks pretty and sturdy, price is reasonable too.
