Hudson & James Designer London Real Leather & Crossbody Bags for Women Adjustable Straps Chest Shoulder Bag, Bumbags Waist Sling Bag, Cell Phone Purse Wallet (Black)

I've bought from this seller three times, they and the products from Hudson and James are very reliable. The bag is leather, made in India, as described. I've moved away from big handbags and like this style of crossbody and their other crossbody bags are great value. This one in particular is very inexpensive for what it is. Highly recommended.

Unfortunately the items arrived with a broken zip.

Being a hobby bag maker I think I have enough experience to comment on the construction of this bag. It is a nice enough looking bag albeit very basic. The quality is very basic too…this is particularly evident in the zipper attachment…you can see from my one of my images that the zip hasn’t been attached with care. Normally when attaching a zip, you would line up the edge of the bag to a specific weave line on the zip…this gives an all round level zip which is pleasing to the eye and shows quality manufacturing…sadly this one is substandard. The leather itself Is a veneer and again, this is evident along the centre stitch line of the bag…you can see the seam. The strap is more of a let down as it is low quality and actually spoils the bag. There is a veneered strip which is attached to a webbing strap…this is a method used with some bags as it also adds strength to a strap but, strength is not needed with this bag being so small and lightweight. Also a better quality webbing would normally be used. There is a metal zipper and the swivels clasps are probably the best quality pieces on the whole bag. There is no separate lining which means no pockets but the bag is so small that the pockets would be small. There is a very nice ‘leather’ label attached to the bag which gives thr impression of quality but as you can see from my image, the key ring that it is attached to is actually rusty which is very odd. It is indeed a minimalist bag but could have been produced with more care and attention to detail but I think although the price reflects the materials used, you still want the bag to be made correctly and the one I received just wasn’t.

Lovely bag got it to take on holiday, nice size don't think its real leather but for the price I wouldn't expect it to be. Zip nice and easy to open. Can fit my phone a small purse andcharger Inside nicely. Would recommend.

Its a funny shaped bag that is leather and its made up ok. The long strap is fine, although cheap. The bag has no inner zipped pockets so be careful with cards and money during opening. The zip is fine but ours was very stiff and we added a drop of zip oil to it to free it up. Its basic, and functional if you just want the minimum with you. It will not make you want to show it off but at less than £15 you get what you pay for. Better for walks out and trips etc. Mrs P was not impressed for info.

I believe this is not real leather, it is a plastic leather like faux fur leather. Anyone who thinks they are receiving a real leather bag will be disappointed. It is not marked with the leather symbol, its not stamped with it either. It looks cheap and doesn't give the distinctive smell of real leather. This also looked like it has been used already before I received it, as it was displaying what looked like a make-up mark on the inner lining.

Really good colour and size and quality and great value for money

Such good value.
