Who's incredibly addicted to satchel bags? ME, Oh, ME!!:)

I went to visit Studio Boheme the other day and this is actually my first time, so when I got in the store, I had this cozy feeling that I don't normally feel when I'm visiting stores at the mall. I guess you can call it a "homey" vibe because of its personal touches. I bet you'd probably wanna hangout here the whole day. :)

The brainchild and owner of Studio Boheme is, Marquita Santos and her boyfriend, Richie See. They have been in the business for quite awhile now and their store caters to people who want their bags and shoes including accessories customized and personalized with love. But in case you're not the waiting type, they also offer ready-made items in their shop such as satchels, shoes, belts and vintage clothing, so no worries!

They have Genuine Leather and Leatherette
I felt like a little kid exploring, Marqui's store a.k.a. office, because I got to see the different materials she uses for her bags, shoes and the other things she has not uploaded online yet. I can just easily say, "Dibs on this and that!" haha! :))

What brands does Studio Boheme carry?
GLENMORE SHOES

Pastel, Neons, Neutrals, Oh my!:)

The Original Glenmore Shoes since the 1950s which offers quality made boots, dress shoes, casual shoes and other leather products such as bells, bags, wallets, vest, jackets, racing suits etc. and also accepts repairs for your most loved leather wear. As what they used to call it, "ITS THE SHOES OF THE STARS" 

HONEYBADGER BAGS AND SHOES

Metallic HoneyBadger Bags
Honeybadger Bags and Shoes is an up and coming brand that offers customized bags, mainly satchels and batchels, including innovations for fashionable camera bags and other gadget bags. You can choose your own colors and sizes. 

MQ Vintage
MQ Vintage Finds sells ready to ship vintage clothes, thrifted accessories, and other quirky items that you may not find elsewhere.

While I was at the shop, Marqui and I got to chat a bit about her brand, Studio Boheme and I mentioned to her that I see a lot of online stores selling satchel but I love Studio Boheme's HoneyBadger the most, because not only is it affordable and sturdy. You can also customize it in any way you like. Even make it rainbow colored with crazy prints, they won't mind. If it gets broken, they accept made-to-order repairs. By that you already get your moneys worth. :)

What makes Studio Boheme different from other brands that customize satchel is the creative way they do it. They really make the client involved in the customizing process, they give you a lot of choices and they take time and give love in doing this. Reason why I think they have an edge against competing brands. Did I mention they'll be doing re-selling and hopefully expand in manufacturing?

Another great thing about STUDIO BOHEME ( I can never seem to run out of good things to say ) is that they post actual pictures of the sizes and type of bags that they have, so you won't get disappointed when the bag is delivered to you...

The types from Satchel to backpack!

A must-have photo with Marqui!:) She's also a blogger, so do check out her site!

Aside from checking out the store, I picked up my 13 in' multi-colored satchel too!!:) From this...
I had fun putting the colors on paint but it was a mess! Luckily Marqui is skilled with graphics and was nice enough to clean it up for me. :)

My multi-colored and old fluorescent yellow/green satchel!:) Thank you, Marqui/Studio Boheme for this!

Just so you know, I am writing this entry without any bias. I got the fluo satchel months back and some of you see how much I use it. That's how I firmly believe and love the brand. :)
