Metro Retro Fold Over Bag by Thirty-One Review
I love movies, and I love the actors and actresses, the whole cinematic experience is really amazing and unique. I never imagined that I would be able to be part of a red carpet experience – but I was able to go to Los Angeles for a weekend and while I was there I was able to go to TWO red carpet premieres. The first was for The Delivery Man and the other was Thor: The Dark World.
For this trip I needed a bag that I could take with me everywhere that would accommodate all of the different things I was doing. I have a friend that is a consultant for Thirty-One. Her name is Brittney and she is amazing to work with and can help you find the perfect bag to fit your needs! I asked her what she thought and she recommended the Retro-Metro Fold Over Bag. She picked the perfect bag for me!

I have had many bags in my lifetime, but I will tell you honestly that this is the single best bag I have owned that allows me to use it for anything I need. It is big enough for me to put my laptop in along with my hoard of other junk, or I can use it for just my basics (still a hoard of junk) and the top of the bag folds over to protect what is inside.
This everyday tote fits folders and notebooks in the main compartment, and the interior zipper pocket is sized just right to store your tablet. Two exterior pockets are perfect for your iPod, phone, camera, water bottle and more!
I used this bag for EVERYTHING on my trip to LA and I have used it every day since then too. Just to give you an idea of how well built this bag is, I used it as my carry on bag. Being as it was my first trip on a plane in over 10 years, and my first trip ever to a red carpet event, I was unsure of what I needed to bring so I over packed. Also, I didn’t want to put any valuables in my suitcase that I checked, so I had everything in my LowePro Camera bag and my Thirty-One Retro Metro Fold Over bag. It worked out great on the way there – I have room and it was great. I didn’t plan on all the stuff I would have to bring back :/
It turns out that the Retro-Metro can hold a heck of a lot and still not even break a sweat. The bag was so heavy that I could not lift it above my shoulders (and I am not a pansy, lol) I check the stitching really well and did a once over on the bag once I got home and it all still looks brand new!
This is a high quality bag! Thirty-one sells so many styles and colors and they are at a great price! For the quality of bag you are getting you will be surprised. They also sell several other bags and accessories. Thirty-One is the perfect place to get bags and accessories that you want to last and be high quality, as well as fashionable and packed with features. Check out the new 2014 Spring Collection here:

I received this bag for free in order to do this review. This did not affect my opinions and they are 100% my own. I only recommend products and services that I believe will be beneficial to my readers.
Pretty cool bag! I love the messenger type of bag! So comfy to use!
It’s a cute bag and looks like one that could be washed and dried while traveling. The colors are bold too.- nice

So jealous of your experience! It sounds like you had a wonderful time! Can I sneak in your bag next time???
That looks like a really easy way to carry stuff
What an incredible experience you’ve had. the bag look chic and i like the design
This is such a cute bag and what a great bag to travel with! I think I’m going to need one of these! Thanks for sharing!
What an adorable bag! I’m always looking for a good bag that fits all my needs. Especially since I have to tote so much stuff around for the kids!
I’ve always wanted to try a bag from this company, but they cost so much, it never seemed worth it to me, but this bag is cute, i like this style of bags.
Great and functional bag. I love the color too.
How perfect, it is even already customized for me!! I love that bag and the fact that it can be personalized is great for when you are at busy places like amusement parks you can easily recognize your item.
The size of this bag looks perfect! I have entirely too much stuff to carry around that it won’t all fit in my purse. This bag would be perfect.
The bag looks great and just what I’m looking for in a bag. I hoard stuff also and need to sturdy but good looking bag that will hold by Ipad and everything else I carry with me.
Hip, fun, colorful AND functional! That’s my kind of bag!
Thank you for showing me this bag! With 5 kids I am always in need of a big bag but have trouble finding one that doesn’t cost a fortune or look like a mummy bag – This would be perfect!
Wow this is very elegant bag!!! I love big size bags.. Will check out your website..
Thanks for sharing
Is there a way to adjust the strap length on it? I’m pretty short so I’m wondering if it would hang down too low on me.
I LOVE that bag!! I’m a huge thirty one fan I just bought myself the happy dots large tote. My bag is not only my purse, but doubles as a diaper bag so I need them a bit bigger.
I’m def. checking out the Metro fold bag I think it would be perfect for spring 🙂
An American friend of mine runs a 31 business and sent me the cutest bag this year! I love them, although I’m glad they aren’t over here, I’d have a million of them by now, so useful!
That is really cute! I love Thirty-One for their utility totes (which I need to get a couple more of!) for organizing
This bag looks fabulous! I love the color and print combo.
The print is cute, I love the color! That would be a good bag for me to take to work instead of having two bags for personal stuff and another to keep my lunch in. I love that the bag is sturdy and can hold a lot of things. It might make a good school bag too. Thanks for sharing!
Any bag that can hold alot can be a mom’s best friend! I like the look of this bag. It is lovely, stylish, and has nice colors!
I’m loving the size of the bag. It look like it could hold all my stuff that I feel I ‘must” have in my purse LOL thank for the review.
I am in DESPERATE need of a new bag and this may be the one!! I love a BIG BAG!! Thanks for the information about the Metro Retro bag
I can carry a lot of stuff in that bag lol, it is very cute
We travel frequently and carry cameras and other electronics. I have been looking for a bag similar to this. I might have to check into this further. P.S. I am soooo jealous of you getting to go to 2 movie premieres. How exciting!
I love big bags as well especially when I travel and that bag looks awesome!Thank you for the recommendation Coralie! 🙂
