Does anyone have experience with the India Zip satchel? I just ordered it in almond. I won't be able to get my hands on it for another month though, as I'm deployed and RM doesn't ship to APOs. I'm super excited thinking about it waiting for me when I get home though! I would love to see pics if anyone else owns this bag, seems like it's not too common.

ETA: Looks like it's sold out on RM (they just have the crossbody in stock). The satchel is much more structured than the crossbody, and I love that it's described as "the perfect career bag", because that's exactly what I intend on using it for!
Here's a picture of the bag from lyst for reference, though it's out of stock there as well. ImageUploadedByPurseForum1455868481.055651.jpg

It's a beautiful bag, congrats! I remember there was a topic someone made where she was asking a similar question about the India drawstring satchel version, here: India deawstring satchel. Unfortunately, no one posted a picture of their bag and it seems no one else is talking about these bags anymore. Once you do get a chance to see the bag in person, I hope you will post pictures soon!

Thank you! I'm so excited to see it in person. The drawstring was less structured than I was looking for, hoping the satchel fits the bill. I hadn't seen it until I was randomly browsing RM (dangerous!) and am surprised it's not mentioned much, it looks lovely. I will definitely post pics once I get my hands on it. [emoji4]

Did you get your bag yet? Do you like it? I just ordered the India satchel in black (wanted the almond but was out of stock by the time I got around to ordering).

Hey! I won't be home for another two weeks.
:-/ I'll definitely post when I get it though.
Let me know how you like the black one, I'd love to see pics! I probably would have gone black, but I have a medium sized Kate spade that fills that wardrobe void.

I returned the black one. The leather looked kind of cheap. And I think the almond color looks better for this style. Unfortunately I forgot to take a picture.

Finally have pictures to post!
I've been using the bag for about a week now and really love it. I wouldn't describe it as "roomy" due to the structure, but it fits everything I need and then some. The leather is great! When empty, the bag will slouch/pool, but it stands up on its own when full or partly full.

There is a vertical zip compartment on on outside face (which I use for my phone), one inside zip, and several small inner compartments.

Overall, really happy with my purchase! It's professional enough for work, but not stuffy, and the tassels add a little edge.

Yay! Glad to hear you are enjoying the bag. This color definitely looks nicer than the black one.
