I have been seeing Mecha Mendez bags in my instagram feed starting in 2022. In particular, a bag called the IRUPE XL. The bags are by Argentinian designers and they ship worldwide. At first I was skeptical. I've never purchased a bag outside of the US so I tried to research Youtube, Google, Purseforum and I only found 1 article on Purseforum but it somehow has disappeared. The Purseforum article was just someone asking if anyone had purchased a bag from them and the few replies were no. After stalking their page and seeing some of the review reels of supposed customers from the US, I decided to take a chance.. I purchased it on 01/02/23. It shipped from Argentina on 01/13/23 and arrived at my home on 02/23/23. The shipping delay was more Fedex problem due to weather when it arrived in Brazil. Needless to say, I was not disappointed when I finally received it. The bag is simple but unique and the leather seems to be good quality. Its thick but supple and will likely get better with age). So, here are some pictures in case anyone else is searching for more information about this brand. Something tells me, they are going to blow up. I figured I would snag one before their prices increase. For some reason this bag reminds me of Loewe's style, even though it doesn't look anything like Loewe. But Loewe is made in Spain and Argentina has a large Spaniard population so maybe that's why. My bag is the first one. I got the IRUPE XL Black. The following pictures are other variations. I'm definitely purchasing the smaller IRUPE PLUS but probably with the braided straps instead of the black leather straps. (The straps can be switched). I purchased the braided keychain that attached to my bag and got a free multicolor one also. The price point is reasonable.
