La Strada East West Bag

Disappointed

Shipping was fast and tracking was sent quickly. I think I set my expectations too high with this bag, bc while the materials may be of good quality, the bag construction leaves a lot to be desired. For context, I own one true luxury bag and two mod range bags to compare this to. One of top flaps seems to have been sewed off kilter bc the flap sort of twists in the middle, and the bag flops over to one side bc the side panel construction doesn't seem to be quite even (like more material was used on one side which makes it puff out slightly). The stitching is well done and even, so maybe the pattern making needs more work? There's also no label that I could find anywhere in the bag to indicate the materials so the only info to go off of is the website, which feels like a "too good to be true" situation. Overall, I'm glad I didn't pay more for this and don't think it's priced fairly for the item I received. Based on the bag I got, I would think MSRP would be more fair around $200-300. I hope it's just a one off experience but since the item was final sale, I now have the responsibility to sell this, probably at a loss to try to make money back, so I likely won't be purchasing from here again. I do love the mission and wish them best of luck.

Solid bag, can improve, will be wearing for years to come

Solid design, good leather. I would rate 3.5-4/5. Suggestion to the brand to increase QC on the edge paint, which could be more precise for a neater look on the edges of the zipper leather and seams. Not noticeable from far away but visible little bumps in the coating when looking closely. The lines can be cleaner on the edge coating instead of slightly wavy at some parts. Suggestion also to increase the quality of the zippers, which need a bit more force to zip/unzip. Eg YKK for smooth zipping would be amazing. Will be using for years to come. Solid bag overall, and appreciate the mission.

Very pleased

The leather is beautiful and supple. It feels just like my Chanel bags. Amazing
