Vera Black Large Bowler Bag

Beautiful Bag

I love this bag, the quality is incredible and it looks incredibly stylish. I would technically mark it as 4.5 stars, but the system would t let me, only taking off half a star for functionality. The following would be make this a 5 star bag for sure (for me): - a discreet pocket externally accessible for a phone/swipe card/passport - slightly longer handles to carry over coats in winter - the drop strap accounts for that, but it could be slightly thicker/more padded for comfort. Otherwise, I’m so happy with this purchase!

The perfect work bag

I searched high and low for a work bag thar could hold a laptop, keys, phone, wallet and lunch. Other than tote bags that have no compartments, there isn’t much out there that is well designed annd practical- even if you’re willing to pay more. The panel to slip over a suitcase handle was just a bonus for travelling for work. The pebbled leather keeps the bag looking good despite heavy handed treatment. I love the smell of the leather and look forward to putting this bag through the rest of everyday use. Although the leather is good quality (reminds me of the leather used by Kate Spade. The hardware (zipper and charm) is a little on the less metal side of things and feels quite light weight in comparison- but I’m ok with that as it makes the bag lighter to carry- especially when you’re carrying a laptop. The zipper seems like it doesn’t zip up as smoothly as it should but considering the price point, and the quality leather, this is a minor gripe. Ask me to review again in 6 months (maybe another coupon 😉?) and I’ll happily share how the bag has fared over time.

Good service, beautiful bag

Very good customer service, bag is exactly as advertised. Lovely and practical.
