My Helve Crossbody from Aevha London arrived on Wednesday. I've been sick the last few days so haven't been able to post any pictures. Sorry for the bad lighting but I wanted get something posted for you.

Overall I really like the bag. It's very structured and I love the minimal design. I chose the wooden handle with gold hardware. I don't care for the shoulder strap adjustment but that's personal preference. I find them to be a pain. Being a short girl I automatically have to adjust them. I also dont like that it doesn't have a way of securing the extra length so it doesn't flip up. I'll try to get some daylight pictures in a few days.20181026_182629.jpg20181026_181527.jpg20181026_181511.jpg20181026_181554.jpg20181026_181707.jpg20181026_182832.jpg

Looks unique. Almost reminding me of 1940s bags (which I adore)
 
Please add the British Fairfax and Favor to you list of possibles. I want at least 3 pairs of boots ad this bag (unfortunately, it's sold out in navy). Heave knows I don't need it but...

...and yes it is suede lined. There's also a mini version.

Replying to myself lol.

Just wanted to let you know that I actually saw one of these Fairfax and Favor suede bags in black yesterday evening at a party. The owner looked in her 20s, I was amazed because I only stumbled on this brand searching for boots and have never heard of them before. Looked like a nice bag but I forgot to ask her about it later, coz you know, that's what Halloween parties are for ha ha.

There is another similar leather bag from them that's similar with no logo (although a bit more expensive). Plain brown or black. Generally, looking through the range, I like the interchangeable tassels on the other model (I quoted above) but I prefer bags without logos. Their smaller bags althoughuuseful, seem a bit more pricey in comparison.
 
Portland leather goods
Fount leather in Cleveland I have bought bags from both of these companys. They have a more natural vibe but are both very well made. I bought the small tote from Portland leather goods and I showed it to my Mom when it arrived and she immediately said she would like one for Christmas , so I put it aside for her then and bought a small tote from Fount that I adore because I didn't want to wear the exact same bag as my Mom.
Can you please post a pic of the tote if you can - I am looking at their bags and just can't decide which size to get!!!
 
Aesther Ekme bag arrived. I wanted a green bag (forest green not blue). I think it will be a great neutral. Excuse the workout clothes I tried to crop out. Very smooth leather and light weight. I think I will enjoy this one.

This is really pretty! I like the shape, color, leather and how it even looks very comfortable!
