I’ve been a fan of Teddy Blake handbags for years now and I’ve built up quite the collection over time. I love the variety of designs, colors, shapes and sizes – there’s really a handbag for anyone and any occasion. Up until now, I’ve been drawn mainly to the Teddy Blake Ava handbag. It’s got that structured ladylike quality that I love (plus I adore the lock and key detail).
However, I decided that now is the time for me to step out of my little Ava bubble. I love the Ava, but what about their other handbags? How do they compare? Find out more in my Teddy Blake Review below!

Teddy Blake Review: Kim & Sophia
I covered pretty much everything you need to know about Teddy Blake in my Teddy Blake Ava Handbag Review. In that post, I answer questions about the brand, my previous experience, shipping, packaging and more. I even go into great detail about the quality, design, color options, size and storage regarding the Teddy Blake Ava 9. For this post, I will be sharing my thoughts on the Teddy Blake Kim and Sophia handbags.
Teddy Blake Sophia Review
The Sophia handbag is very ladylike, elegant and classic. It’s quite a dressy handbag that would elevate any outfit. The shape is definitely something that I’m typically drawn to. The gold chain strap looks luxurious and the light blush color easily matches everything. The Sophia handbag features:
- Croc embossed leather
- Smooth calf leather trim
- Suede interior
- Gold-tone hardware
- Interior pocket
- Adjustable chain strap
Teddy Blake Sophia Quality
The quality is top notch! The croco leather definitely feels and looks a bit different than the smooth pebble leather of my Ava’s. Of course, it’s a different texture but it’s also more of a matte finish. I also really like the dual leather – the smoothness of the trim breaks up the croco nicely. The chain strap is also a nice weight and feels high quality.
Storage in Teddy Blake Sophia
The Sophia only comes in one size but personally, I don’t mind as this is the size I would normally get. The 9″ is perfect, in my opinion, for storing all of your necessities while also looking sleek. I do wish there were more pockets though!
Sophia Color Options
The Sophia comes in a variety of color options ranging from brights to pastels to neutrals. The body features both croco and quilted leather patterns and while both are gorgeous, I do wish there was a smoother leather option available as well.
Teddy Blake Kim Review
The Kim handbag is chic, stylish and sophisticated. This is a handbag that could easily work with both a casual outfit and a dressy outfit. Where the Sophia is “Paris,” the Kim screams “New York City.” It’s elevated with luxurious croc embossed leather and a delicate top handle. The Kim handbag features:
- Croc embossed leather
- Microfiber interior
- Gold-tone hardware
- Top handle
- Interior pocket
- Removable crossbody strap
Teddy Blake Kim Quality
Like the Sophia, the quality is suberb! Since this also features the croco, it’s quite a bit different than the smooth leather on the Ava. I also noticed that the Kim Croco differs slightly from the Sophia Croco. The Kim has a slight sheen to it whereas the Sophia is a bit more matte. I also love the top handle and closure details. It makes the handbag look very high end and luxurious.
Storage in Teddy Blake Kim Croco
I got the 9″ version of the Kim but it also comes in an 11″ version. The storage in the Kim Croco 9 is the same as the Ava 9. There’s plenty of room for your necessities but I do wish there were more pockets.
Teddy Blake Kim 9 Color Options
The Kim comes in SO many colors – literally every color you can think of plus croco, lizard and regular leather options. You can find pastels, brights, neutrals… pretty much any color that you’re looking for. The possibilities are honestly endless and somehow ALL of them look absolutely dreamy.
Teddy Blake Ava vs Kim Bag
One question that I’ve gotten is “what is the difference between the Ava and Kim handbags?” They both look very similar and I go through the similarities and differences in more detail in the video below. In short, the closures differ slightly and the Ava includes more storage pockets and a charm.

Overall Thoughts on Teddy Blake Bags
Overall, I love both the Sophia and Kim bags! The quality, designs, size and color options available are incredible. I do still think that the Ava handbag is my fave but it’s great to know that other Teddy Blake New York handbags live up to the hype as well!
