Straight out of the packaging.It arrives in a cellophane bag. It's very stiff, & it does smell rather, and I'm going to treat the leather (shoe polish or cream-based leather cleaner) then hang it outside on the washing line for a couple of days for the smell to dissipate. This step should be considered the difference between a £30 bag and a £100. It's a small inconvenience to have such a nice bag at such a great price imho. One reviewer gave their new bag a good wipe-over with fabric conditioner, and I expect that as Lenor/comfort, etc are oil-based that would work too. Just use what you have to hand. It's rather stiff and I feel that treating the leather before use and periodically every few months thereafter will prevent it cracking and help ensure it lasts for many years to come.I chose this bag partly because leather lasts if you look after it, and is repairable as I'm keen not to add to the plastic in landfills. It really is a great-looking everyday bag for all but the most formal of occasions (when black is smarter) in a classic design that won't go out of style next week, and that will look good with many different clothing choices. The lining is a sturdy leaf green calico-type fabric. Overall the bag looks well constructed with tidy stitching. Rather better made than I was expecting at this price point tbh.Mine is well constructed, and the finish is a nice tan shade, which will look all the nicer once used and scuffed with use a bit. The size is great. Internally there are two zipped compartments and a central space with a divider. Giving 4 separate storage areas in total. This is ideal for keeping things organized. To give you an idea of capacity, It's too small to hold my laptop but could accommodate a 500ml flask, a decent-sized hardback book, and my Sistema bento lunch box, glasses case purse & kindle no problems. Externally on the back, there is also a zipped compartment. Ideal on the buses or tubes when you don't want to open the whole bag just to get your travel pass or phone out. The two pockets on the front are too small for a smartphone, but the ideal size for the mask and hand sanitizer we all need easy access to while covid drags on. The shoulder strap is easily adjustable and is a brass metal loop rather than a buckle. All 3 fasteners on the main bag are proper brass buckles, which look great.I'll add to this review once I've used the bag for 6 months to let you know how it holds up in daily use.

Good quality bag nice and big

Lovely bag, plenty of room for all my essentials (and I don't travel light).Sturdy and well made. Looks very nice and will only get better as the leather softens with use.Good length strap that can be adjusted to suit.Only minor detail is that the photo shows it with a pop closer when it actually has a buckle. Makes it slightly more fiddly opening and closing. But not a problem and wouldn't hesitate to buy again.

I like this bag. It is a good size and has enough compartments in it. I like the shoulder strap it is non slip. What a nice surprise it was not to have the bag continually falling off my shoulder.

Bought this bag for my wife so here's her review.......Hubby bought me this bag after a lot searching finally came across this and ordered. Some of the review I read were good others were bad. Some complained about the quality.My opinion.....the quality of the bag is brilliant bearing in mind it's not badly priced. The stitching is all good buckles etc are firmly attached and are of a good quality. There are more than enought compartments inside the bag a large zipped pocket at the very back inside the bag then a large padded section I presume for an I pad or similar then another large section for the main of you usual hand bag necessities 3 lipglosses..large purse..folding shopping bags..tissues..hand wipes make up hand sanitiser etc etc . After this section a large compartment again the width of the bag at the very front. Outer of bag has two buckled front pockets nice and roomy. With the covering fold down main flap with a bucke that's connected to a push fastener I was pleased with this as means not having to faff about with the buckle. On the rear of the handbag outer another zipped pocket roomy enough. The shoulder strap is adjustable and it's leather on top of a nice woven non slip underside another feature I was pleased with. All in all can't fault it at all. The colour is black but it's a very very deep browny black. (Black to the untrained nitpicker) but still can't fault that it's beautiful so if you want a decent bag and your a picky faff (like me and I mean picky) this bags for you. You won't be disappointed ..hope this helps the undecided out there !!!!

So I love the look if this bag and it is tge perfect size for me (I have medical conditions so needed something to carry my supplies) however, I ordered it 28th April and waited until i was away on the 13th to use it, i mainly only use it at weekends and the strap has come un stitched already, as well as the buckle being faulty. Such as shame as otherwise the bag is lovely and perfect for what i want/ need. The leather is beautiful too.

After reading the reviews I decided to order the 9x11x3.5” bag- I was not disappointed. The quality of the leather and stitching is good. The colour is rich and fairly consistent across the leather. There are so many pockets I won’t know what to put in them all! I was pleasantly surprised to see each buckle was covered in plastic to protect the leather in transit. I like that the strap is backed with woven webbing as if the leather should split with wear and tear I would still be able to use it. Great value for money- really can’t fault the product. There was a slight smell of leather and chemicals but not too overpowering and I used it the sane day I received it. Would recommend to others.

Unfortunately this very nice looking bad smells strongly of goat or something. No matter what I did, leave it outside, put it in bag with baking soda, washed it, used saddle soap. You name it I tried it, also very stiff and uncomfortable to wear.

Leather is decent enough, but the horrific odor???? Completely unusable. Worthless. Do not purchase

Sac de très bonne qualité, je recommande vivement,vendeur sérieux.

Kullanışlı, kaliteli, spor ve şık

Mooie ruime leren handtas . Tip : Het riempje van De gesp valt er wel snel af als je de tas vergeet dicht te doen . Daarom heb ik m onzichtbaar vastgeknoopt ( kan bijvoorbeeld met vissersdraad ) Het leer droogt wel snel uit , en er komt een soort poeder van af . De prijs - kwaliteit verhouding is wel goed .

Cheap quality bag with rusty fixings. Don’t waste your money!
