Katie Loxton bags - yay or nay?

[wanderlustdiaries]

I’ve got my eye on their Milan cabin bag for some upcoming trips and just to have as a weekend bag. Probably in cherry red or black.

Just wondering if anyone’s used them and if they hold up well?

I loved/sort of still like mine but it didn't last-the shoulder strap thing broke and one of the handles is also pulling away from the bag.

It is not the one you are looking at and it was a few years ago...

Ah no, really?! I really like the look of it, and it’s the perfect size for easyJet/ryanair!

I may have made it too heavy..

I am a fan of Katie Loxton. And to be fair I'd probably buy the bag you linked!!

I don’t think a durable stylish bag exists at that price point. The website has Chinese dropshipping vibes. It’s nice enough but I wouldn’t expect it to last. If I had £60 to spend on a cabin bag I would look at the luggage section in Homesense or Costco if you’re a member. If you want something by more stylish, I would look for a brand with more heritage on Vinted, but I still wouldn’t expect to find anything that size in good condition for under £120.

How long did it last?

I was eyeing up this brand as well, maybe they're doing a lot of promotion at the moment

I don't think I've had a bag strap come away ever!

Hahaha I’m guilty of that!

They’re a real brand, sold in M&S too!

Its a cheap plastic bag (vegan leather is plastic) so I would expect it to last maybe a year or two max. If I had a limited budget, I would just get a Le Pilage - they last forever!

I have a le pliage large tote but it’s too big for easyJet and Ryanair small bags!

I looked at them but I’m not keen on PU for bags.
I bought a Pure Luxuries Airgo bag from Vinted. I really like it for an occasional use flight bag.

I’m not too bothered by PU, I think it can look just as good

My thinking is that this will be my travel “set” (aka the three bags I take on holiday) and that it all looks quite cohesive and sleek

No. Overpriced Temu.
