Love handbags? You definitely want to check out our review of the Tayden Sunburst Boston Handbag from Nicole Lee!

Spring has started to show itself for most of it not all of us and with spring comes, sun (sometimes) and flowers blooming. When I think of spring I always think of daffodils, tulips and other flowers but mostly the first two. Not sure why but the blooming yellows and orange flowers are what I think of first, the colors bursting into bloom. So how appropriate that we received a yellow Tayden Sunburst Boston Handbag from Nicole Lee!

Tayden Sunburst Boston Handbag

Now I have to admit that my first instinct would not be to select a yellow handbag. I tend to be kind of boring that way always choosing black, brown, once in a while white and the few times I was bold I selected red and purple two of my favorite colors. So when I was checking out this beautiful  Tayden Sunburst Boston handbag I did keep eyeing the black and the white ones, I was even tempted by the natural colored one.

TAYDEN SUNBURST BOSTON BAG

The yellow one was not on my radar but the folks at Nicole Lee wanted to go with a spring theme and let's face it yellow is very much a spring color! I have to say I am glad they "forced" me to select a yellow handbag as it was a delight to open the box and pull out the lovely bag!

It leans towards being more of a mustard yellow color, so not the super bright canary yellow in my opinion. It's very room inside, I couldn't even fill it up with my every day items that I carry around in my handbag. I like the light lining so it's easy to spot anything inside and that it has a zippered pocket on the inside along with a few pouches. I hate it when handbags don't have a zippered pocked on the inside. I could easily fit some snacks in here and a small bottle of water which is nice, yet the handbag does not feel like it's bulky or too big.

One of the other reasons I selected this handbag is that it also has a detachable, longer strap as some days I don't like to have to use just the shorter shoulder straps. It could easily be carried as a cross body since the longer strap is adjustable and can accommodate making it a cross body. I like having those options! The only minor issue is that my longer strap, the hook on the one side isn't "springing" into the closed position. I'm not worried about this as I'm quite confident the folks at Nicole Lee was fix this problem one way or another.

The handbag feels like soft leather, it's not a stiff handbag and it has the needed zippered pocket in the back of the bag. This is a must for me as this is where I like to keep my keys and my phone. The shoulder straps are a nice two tone with white on one side and gold on the other, I love that as I do love gold accents. The Tayden Sunburst Boston handbag in yellow is definitely a nice spring addition to brighten up your day and your outfit!

I've now learned that yellow was more versatile than I originally thought, probably because I never buy it. I can use it like I use gold accents, it goes well with greens, browns, beiges/taupes, white and more. For black outfits I found it depended on the outfit as I don't want to have the bumblee bee look.

Overall I like the size of the handbag, as mentioned it's roomy but not bulky, the removable/adjustable longer strap gives me options, it's gorgeous and so decorative that it will add to any outfit. I'm so happy with this handbag that I'm seriously considering getting the white or the black one or both. It makes for a fabulous every day bag but also for going out in the evening or any occasion where your dressed up, just take off the longer strap and it's an excellent, larger handbag. I can't make do with those teeny evening bags/clutches so for me this is a perfect size!

So yes I love the Tayden Sunburst Boston Handbag in yellow and I'm aiming to get the other colors too 🙂

  1. It looks like it has a lot of room. Leather is a good thing I would not think it wold rip really easy like my other brand purses do. They do not wear very well,

  2. I love this handbag. In fact I've just discovered these bags and now I'm going to put in a birthday request for one if I don't get one for myself sooner. The yellow is my favorite too.

    • So sorry, I copied my post and it copied from the previous post. I just wanted to say I love this bag, I used to be the plain ole 1 color purse person. I have branched out and showed my style thru a fabulous handbag.

  4. I so lean towards neutrals BUT I just bought an inexpensive red purse to see how I like it and I love it so I would definately love a yellow one So bright and cheery for the warm weather and perfect for spring Thank you for the opportunity

  5. Like you, I usually tend to lean toward the more neutral colors, browns and blacks. Lately, I'm wanting to change it up a bit. I just got one bag with like 4 different colors. I'm trying to not be so boring. I am pretty intrigued with this bag. I do like the yellow, its different. I like the lining being a lite color too. I always have a hard time finding my phone in my bag because its always so dark in there. I think it will be easier to locate my dark items in a light colored bag. I like this bag. Now I want one! I like the pretty stones. This bag does scream Spring and I'm ready for it. Snow finally just all melted. Winter lasted way too long here this year.

  6. This is a beautiful bag and I do love the yellow. I love the feel of the soft leather handbags. I also always pick black or brown but recently I have been wanting to branch out and try bright colored bags. Well, this Nicole Lee bag would certainly fit that description. I love it.

  7. Those sunburst/flower gem accents add just the right amount of quirky, eye catching detail that I love in purses!

  8. Love this bag, it's so Spring. When I saw all I could think is how much my daughter would love this bag, she is in with the color yellow now. I love Nicole Lee Bags anyway.

  9. I also love Daffadils, we used to have them in our backyard when I was a kid. I think of spring when I see daffodils and poppies. When I saw this bag I wasn't too sure about entering the giveaway b/c the only place a canary yellow should be on is a canary. LOL! Now that I know it's more of a mustard color I'm glad I entered it. I love the Nicole Lee material on the inside and how much room it has. This was a great review, so thank you 🙂

  10. i love the fact that it can be carried different ways. The color and design is super fun for the spring and summer months. THANKS!

  11. I also tend to choose more neutral(AKA boring) colors when it comes to handbags. Yellow would not have been my first choice either but I was happy to read that it was more a mustard yellow. I do love that color. My only concern would be the crystals/rhinestones falling off.

  14. This bag is gorgeous!! I love Nicole Lee bags. They are always so fabulous. And I love the bright color for spring! I always feel boring carrying a black bag.

  15. I always mean to buy a new bag with some color, and end up with black in fall and winter, or off white in spring and summer. So, I mean well, but i never quite pull it off lol. Thanks for clarifying the color is more of a mustard yellow. That's what I thought, but it's good to know for sure. I like the detachable strap, thanks for pointing that out as well.

  17. With Spring finally here, I like to use bright colors to accessorize. This bag is so pretty and has so many features that I like (can use as a cross body bag, has zippered inner pocket and zippered outside pocket on back).

  22. I love this bag. I have bought brightly colored bags over the years, but usually always carried a black leather bag all year long. I had straw bags, clutches and even odd shaped bas. I will use the Sunburst bright yellow bag if I won it because it is truly a beautiful bag.

  27. I agree that the yellow is very pretty and eye-catching. Looks a really good quality bag and very versatile with the longer strap or shorter handle options. So cute!

  28. Love leather so it is great to hear this felt like leather. And the bling is just right; not too much. Yes, yellow can be versatile. just bought two pair of shoes in yellow

  29. I too am not a yellow handbag kind of person. I do prefer black or brown, simply because you can use it with anything then. Recently I did buy a purple purse and have gotten compliments on it. Now I'm hoping to venture out a tad more if I would win this handbag 🙂 I like that you say it's roomy but not so roomy you'd lose things in it, lol Thank you for the review!

  30. Doesn't this bag make you feel like you're basking in the sun on some beach in the summer? It does me anyway.

  31. I absolutely love this bag. I never thought of a yellow handbag being suitable for me, but I would love this one.

  32. I love this yellow bag, and I am glad that Nicole Lee kinda pushed you into picking it, it is very pretty and unusual, not one you would see everyone else carrying. THank you for the review, I like the pocket on the side and the beautiful design on the front,

  34. I really haven't cared for the color yellow to much but this is an awesome looking purse. Looks very roomy inside and out and not to bulky!

  35. See, I'm like you, I just don't like the small clutches! I prefer a more medium style sized handbag that is versatile! Shoulder or handbag! Can't resist the bright beautiful yellow either, so springy!

    Reply
  36. I do love yellow handbag. I checked out the website and found many fresh funky handbags that I would love. Having soft leather is a must.

  38. I dont usually go for yellow but this is a gorgeous handbag. It wouldnt have been my go to at all. I do like the idea of the longer strap and the fact that it's soft leather. Very bold piece.

  39. Cute bag and good to hear the yellow isn't as bright as it looks in pictures; yellow can be a bit like marmite for some. Thanks for the review!

  40. Love her bags. My favorite is the Claudette Studded Doctor bag! Yellow is one of my favorite colors, so this bag realllllllly speaks to me 😀

  41. This is such a cute bag. I have had a yellow hand bag before and found it did go with most everything as you said. I have a personal relationship with my handbags is as best I can describe it. I, like you, cannot do the small clutch or would not feel comfortable. I do like your bag and am going to check these out.

  42. I like it. It's kind of bedazzled, a word which shows I watched too much late night infomercial tv in the 90s, I guess, but you know what I mean!

    Reply
  43. I have to agree with you, that I wouldn't normally go with a yellow handbag...but a "mustard yellow" O could go with...it's not so much of an "in your face" kind of yellow. The style, design and size of this bag is perfect for me as an everyday or dress up bag.

  44. I really love that the purse is bright and vibrant, I love bright purses, I love this review thank you so much for sharing such a cool purse with us. I think the rhinestones are really well placed on this bag and again I really love the color. you can wear a ton of different things with this. thank you for sharing this wonderful company and site and I love pretty much all of the different designs they have in stock. very cool

  45. I like this bag, I don't normally buy yellow but I think it would be cute for spring. Also, I like the roominess in it, I need that!

  46. I used to have a pretty good variety of bags..I guess the past couple years have been hectic so I ended up packing my things in a tote for hospital visits etc. It just made it alot simpler. Time to get back into the" spring" of things!

  47. This beautiful handbag is so colorful and stylish as well. I would love this for summer with all my light color clothing it would go well.

  48. I think you did an awesome job on the review. I also like the fact that it feels like soft leather...Keep up the good work
