Danielle Nicole Review

Let's face it, what girl doesn't love a cute purse? I have 3 or 4 bags that I use in heavy rotation, but I always welcome the opportunity to have a new one. I also can't resist buying it if it's one that I've had my eye on for a while. There's something special about owning a new purse, that only a woman would understand!



Danielle DiFerdinando was born and raised in Maryland. Her passion for design began at a very young age. She first began by designing cosmetic bags and now designs handbags and small leather goods.

In 2006, during her internship with Bergdorf Goodman, the cosmetic buyer at Bergdorf Goodman recognized Danielle’s talent and asked her to design an exclusive line of luxury cosmetic bags. Orders from Neiman Marcus, Saks 5th Avenue, Bloomingdales, Nordstrom, and specialty boutiques across the United States soon followed. Danielle Nicole, the brand, was born.

Danielle's bags are beautiful and combine the perfect elements of fun and personality into one timeless bag. There are so many different styles and colors to suit anyone's tastes. Any bag that you purchase from her line will instantly become one of your favorites.

When I had the chance to review a purse from Danielle Nicole's line, I was very excited. I browsed the website and ooh'd and ahh'd at all of the gorgeous bags. I wanted to select something that was different from what I already had. I finally settled on the Riley Satchel. When I saw it, I instantly fell in love and knew that I had to own it.”




This bag has my name written all over it! I am attracted to large bags, so of course I instantly loved it. The zebra pattern is adorable and provides a large element of bold fun. I also love the gold stud hardware on the top of the purse. It adds an extra boost of personality to the purse to complete it.

It's extremely spacious inside. You could hold practically anything you wanted. It would also make a great overnight bag too if you're just packing a shirt, pair of jeans, pajama, etc. There are 3 interior pockets inside the bag which offer a convenient storage option for your cell phone, business cards, wallet, lipstick, etc.


The purse seems to made well and built to last The shoulder strap is removable, if desired. I removed it because it just hangs there, and I usually carry my purses on the crook of my arm. The bag is not heavy to carry and I actually used it for the first time last night. It wasn't heavy or bulky to carry at all. I got two compliments on it from friends. They wanted to know where I got such a fantastic bag! I directed them to Danielle Nicole, of course.

Thanks to Danielle Nicole, this will be one of my new favorite summer bags!
