Really like the look of this brand but wondering if any idea what the customs situation is with ordering from US? 🤔

These are catching my eye…

I can't help with your question, but I just wanted to say how nice those bags are.

I love leather bags that have a real feel of thick-set, grainy, almost rustic leather, with few non-leather adornments. Bags that you can imagine smelling of leather

So many leather bags, even high-end ones, seem to strip away everything that makes leather a really enjoyable, tactile, high-quality material.

@MyThreeWords for sure, I have read some good reviews of this brand, it’s a decent price too for what looks like really good quality, understated but cool bags..

I can’t help either, but interested to see if anyone has bought one. I saw this brand on social media and really liked the look of the Clementine.

I’m tempted just to go for it and sod the tax!

Years ago when I imported goods from the US I allowed 30% for customs tax & fees.

Actually I think it’s shipping from AUS and not US no clue what difference that makes….

I bought a navy Clementine bag in November. It's lovely but I did have to pay £52 tax before it was delivered. To be honest, I thought it was reasonable price even with the extra £52 as it was a great price for the quality.

Is the cross body strap a decent length? I really don’t like short straps so the bag sits almost up under my boob!

@storageconcern I'm out at the moment but hopefully I'll remember and measure it tomorrow!
