Great quality handbag! Very well handcrafted inside and out!
I am so impressed with this bag! The quality is exceptional, craftsmanship is outstanding, and the pricing fair. This bag was made with exceptional attention to every detail - even the dust bag is well constructed to fit the bag and made with high quality fabric. Wow!
The handbag is very classy and gives the carrier (me) an air of refinement. However, it is so versatile, I have worn it with a flannel shirt. I wish it was a tad larger but I don't need to bring everything. I am simplifying what I carry to fit this masterpiece of a handbag. No water bottles! I am waiting for the bag in taba.
The leather is fantastic, also the interior leather, very soft and nice. The bag is very nice, perfect for many occasions. Slightly smaller than I expected. The magnetic closing is easy to open, not adequate for going to crowded placers where pickpockets might use the easy opening to steal whatever you have. Other than that, great bag and great quality!
I know the quality based on previous purchases.
I’m just waiting for silver hardware to be an option.
I’m very impressed by the design and quality of this bag! Love the leather, it’s so nice to the touch! Despite its petite-looking size, it can fit a lot of essentials. I feel happy whenever I use the bag.
I have yet to buy, I really want this in black with silver hardware. Please more silver toned bags!
