This is my first review, so it’s probably going to suck, sorry, aha. But this review is needed, the bag isn’t durable and you’ll see why.
It costs £79.99 and the outside is made out of buffalo leather.
It comes in four colours, tan, blue, black and cream. I bought it in tan.
When I first bought it I was really happy with it, I like big bags so the oversized look of it was great. It has a strap too, so if you get tired you can use it as a shoulder bag, although I think it’s more aesthetically pleasing when you just carry it using your hands.
The leather looks great, its quite hard so it won’t lose its posture, aha. It also has really nice buckles and generally the bag’s simplicity was what I drawn to at first. It serves it’s name well, as a shopper it can fit lots of things inside but it will be very heavy to carry for a long period of time (I realised this when I took it to college with my books inside).
Inside is a whole different story, though. It’s just a detachable canvas, no real lining which sucks. On the plus side, if something spills or you get the inside of the canvas dirty you can detach the canvas and put it in the wash. But when a bag is that expensive you expect more than just some canvas inside, right?
I live in London so naturally it rained the day I decided to wear it to college -.- but I’m glad it did because even though I was using an umbrella, the rain got on the bag. At first it was alright, just some droplets on it and I thought that nothing would happen because after all it’s supposed to be made of real leather. Shockingly the rain messed up the bag! The colour went lighter in certain areas, it looked horrible, (pictures below) as if someone had scratched it with something. I think this isn’t due to the leather itself but whatever colouring they used.
What is the point of buying an £80 bag when you can’t even wear it in the rain? And who knows what else could damage it. As beautiful as the bag looks unless you are super rich it isn’t worth the money.
I returned the bag and got the £39.99 shopper basket instead, I think that ones more worth the money and hopefully it can survive in the rain!
(The side the rain mostly hit)
The cheap canvas inside.
I really hope this review is helpful guys, I only found one review on the internet about this bag and it doesn’t mention this rain catastrophe so I thought I should let you all know. :)
