Sponsored by Skye Smith; opinions are my own

On my 21st birthday, I received a Louis Vuitton bag that I enjoyed using for almost two decades. As I approached my forties and my style preferences, as well as interests, began to change, I was looking for a bag that I could travel easily with that still had classic beauty. I discovered Skye Smith bags through an influencer portal offering free collaborations. I typically never reach out to brands for partnerships as I run my website as a non-profit, but my eye was definitely caught by these beautiful bags.

After connecting with the owner and creator, I was in partnership to receive an Elodie Leather Backpack and Crossbody Bag. I took this bag to Boston, Massachusetts while visiting family in the northeast and so many people commented on the bag. I then brought it with me to our adventures in Tenerife, Spain for the summer and I continued to be impressed by the bag’s functionality and beauty.

When we made plans to move to Madrid, Spain for our gap year, I contacted Skye Smith again when I saw her newest bag, the Cecily, was being introduced. The Cecily is a Wallet Clutch Bag that is perfect for a date night or quick errands downtown without bringing the backpack.

I have worked on several campaigns for Skye Smith now and stand by their quality. If you’re searching for the perfect travel bag, look no further!
