Botkier Sasha Duffel owners--how has it held up?

#3
I have the small one in pewter and its held up great so far...only had it for a couple months, I love it! And I always get compliments because the color spices up my outfits=), it holds everything I normally need from everyday essentials such as keys and cell phone to my things I always carry or choose to carry such as digital camera, notebook, planner, bible...I use at school as well and its great, not heavy at all, very sturdy, and the exterior as well as interior are gorgeous=)

That looks more like the regular size (it's the same size as my black one which I bought earlier this summer) - did they come out with one that's larger than the original?

I have this bag in black and used it all summer - I took the train to & from work & walked from the train station to the office & back again - the bag was wonderful. So easy to carry. It can hold a lot and isn't a very heavy bag at all - I love the dual straps and versatility. Carry it on your arm or in your hand, and it's a duffel (or satchel) - use the longer shoulder strap & VIOLA! You have a gorgeous, roomy hobo bag! It's a great bag to take shopping, as it can hold so much & easy to carry (hands-free!)

I highly recommend this bag for ladies looking for a "work bag" or even a practical every day bag

The look didn't suit me, and more importantly, I wasn't satisfied with the quality of the small Sasha, which I got in black. I purchased 2 from ActiveEndeavors and 1 from RevolveClothing--really long story--and interestingly, one bag's leather was stiffer and not very splooshy, though I'd never realize this if I hadn't compared them together.

Also, I know it's the look, but I wanted a richer, deeper, true black, not the slightly faded, trendier look.

Other minor things I didn't like were a crease in the leather that didn't disappear, slightly mismatched leather, and zippers that didn't run smoothly. The satchel handles didn't lie flat against the bag when I carried it as a duffle, too.

Even though there were only a few negative reviews on the quality/durability of recent Botkiers (fall 2007), I chickened out and decided to return it and wait it out...

I'm sure many others will tell you it's a great bag, but for me, I just never fell in love with it. :sad:
