Hi all, I saw this bag in the shop and I really liked it. It was on sales for 30% off as well. I am debating whether I should go back and buy it this weekend or not.

In real life the red interior is more visible from the outside, so the effect is quite "black&red" if you see what I mean. The red is also less bright in real life, in those pics it looks almost neon! It is genuine leather and handmade in Italy. I don't think the pics on the website do the bag justice, as it looks less severe in real life, but that is all I have to share with you!

Please help me decide if this bag is worth buying! What do you all think?

Thank you Smile

I don't know the brand and I don't know what the quality is like, but it looks nice.
The red interior looks very nice - I think it adds something to an otherwise quite plain and classic bag.

I wonder if the leather is delicate and will scratch easily - but that's something you'd have to find out by looking at the bag in person.

It seems like a quite versatile bag - it has the shoulder strap, the handles, it seems that you can button the sides to change the shape of the bag somewhat and it's handy with the zipper on the inside.

This is purely a personal preference, so it may not really apply to you, but I prefer bags with a cross body strap - but not with handles sticking up as I find they get in the way. However, I appreciate this is my preference and it is not universal.

I have found that structured bags do not suit my lifestyle and style, but obviously that's again a personal preference. I do think this bag is easier to use in a casual setting/wear when dressed down than some other structured bags that simply look odd when worn with jeans, trainers and a t-shirt.

The most important thing is whether you like the bag or not, and whether you'll get a lot of use out of it. If this is a bag you'll wear most days, then I think it's worth buying. If it's a bag you'll use a few times a year or where you'll prefer using another bag, then it's not worth it.

I wouldn't if you can see the interior. It will be less useful than a plain black g.

If the quality justifies the price I'd say buy it. It's quite classic without being frumpy so it's not going to date

I like it. Love the red interior. Super chic!

PaulaLollie · 27/04/2018 12:56

Dairy I should probably add that I already have 2 plain black bags, as well as burgundy, red, bright yellow and tan ones.

I think it looks nice but prefer non black bags.

I love it!
