REVIEWS
I adore this bag. The quality is evident in the stitching and in the feel of the trim, and it has a relaxed shape that flatters most outfits. The only thing I miss is a zippered pocket inside for valuables. I use a small pouch instead and it works fine. Everything else about it is great, from the low weight to the soft drape. I use it nearly every day, and it has not shown any sign of wear after a few months. It sits comfortably on my forearm through long train rides, and I have never felt the handles dig into my hand.
My sister is hard to shop for, but she loves this bag. She says the soft shape is forgiving and the size is generous enough for her whole day. I inspected it before wrapping and was impressed by the neat seams and the tidy lining. She carries it to work and to yoga, where it handles a towel and a bottle. She also likes that it is crafted by artisans who take pride in their work. Highly recommended for anyone who has a picky person on their list. She sent me a long thank-you text after the first week, which says a lot about how it has served her.
I work in finance and wanted a bag that looks professional but not stuffy. This has an easy, sophisticated look and fits a tablet and a folder. The closure keeps everything secure on the subway, even when the car is packed. I have received compliments from colleagues, including some who rarely notice such things. The trim is smooth and the stitching is fine and even. It lives up to the price I paid, and I would buy it again tomorrow. The soft body also folds nicely onto my lap during long meetings or flights. I have already convinced a friend in my department to order one.
Some bags need an outfit built around them, and this is not one of them. It goes with everything I own and sits comfortably on my forearm. The look is subtle enough for the office and playful enough for weekends. I fit my tablet and a charger without feeling weighed down. The stitching is precise and the finishing looks premium up close. I have used it every day for two months and it still looks fresh, with no sagging at the seams or wear on the handles. My coworkers have noticed and keep asking whether it comes in a larger size for travel.
