REVIEWS
The bag is lovely, with a soft feel and strong stitching along every seam. I would have liked a second compartment to separate my keys from my phone, since they rub together a little. I solved that with a small pouch, though it does take up room. Otherwise it is an excellent bag that my partner uses daily and likes very much. The strap is comfortable and the zipper has never snagged. I would still call it a good purchase. The way it is constructed makes it feel like a real step above the fast fashion options I used to buy for my partner.
A friend recommended behno and I wanted to see if the hype was deserved. It is, and I say that as someone who has owned bags from far pricier labels. The leather is soft and the construction is meticulous, from the edges to the lining. I use this pouchette for date nights and Sunday brunches, and it slips under my arm easily when I need both hands. After half a year it still looks sharp. I am a convert. I have recommended it to three coworkers and I expect at least one of them to order soon. The weight on my arm is barely noticeable, even with a full set of daily essentials packed inside.
I surprised my wife with this on our anniversary and she has been smiling about it ever since. She says it feels special and yet is easy to carry around all day. I looked it over before wrapping it and noticed the clean seams and the sturdy zipper. She wears it to dinners and also on weekend trips, and it has not shown any wear after a few months. The brand even included a small card about the artisans, which she loved reading. I am very glad I picked it, and I would give it again. She calls it her favorite gift.
I took this pouchette on a long weekend away and it served as the perfect secure day bag. It held my passport and a few cards with no trouble at all. I kept it zipped and close to my body in busy areas, and it never felt like an easy target. The leather handled a few drops of rain without complaint, and the stitching did not budge. I also love that it is made by skilled artisans under fair conditions, which matters to me when I spend this kind of money. It is now a permanent part of my travel kit.
