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've looked at this one several times. Is the long strap removable?
 
Hi, has the wallet arrived?
Got the fieno vegetable tanned leather long wallet. One of the best leather i ever touched:nuts:. You can actually feel the "raw-ness" of the leather. Love the front pocket for quick access. Quality is spot on again. Excited to see how it wears out. Looks more brownish in picture but it has a touch of red in person:heart:.

I was skeptical at first as well. But, I do think its official website does present its actual color tone quite well. At least it was not a surprise when i got their long wallet.

I discovered a French minimalist brand Ateliers Auguste a few months ago via Instagram and got really intrigued by their timeless designs and a fairly affordable price point. Fortunately, my best friend went to Paris on vacation, so I convinced him to bring me their Monceau bag to avoid paying shipping :D. Finally got the bag after waiting awhile and am very happy! It is very minimalist, but leather feels superb and sturdy, beautiful black color. Stitching is perfect and the bag, while fairly compact, actually fits a decent amount of things (like a 10 inch iPad and a 12 Oz Zojirushi tumbler!). They only have about 3 styles for women, but I think quality/price ratio is very good. The bags are designed in France and manufactured in Italy.

I like this very much!
 
Has anyone tried Maison Heroine https://maisonheroine.com/ ?

I saw someone carrying the Marlene in black with the flaked gold gussets and it looked stunning! I was craning my neck trying to read the brand so I could look them up.

Looks like a perfect work / laptop bag but also quite big! I'd love to try it out if i were in the market for one but I need to stick with what i've got...


I have purchased the Marlene bag from Maison Héroïne (13") and I´m in love with this bag! Couldn't spread it enough to the world, because this bag changed my life! (Okay, may sound´s creep but I´m so happy to finally find a good pricy and elegant bag which I can carry to work and got out for a drink after work.) I really can recommend it to you!
 
Has anyone mentioned Khaore?
Was on instagram browsing this weekend(typical i know), and came across their bags and was intrigued. Some of the bags are a bit too sculptural and out there for me but beautiful none the less. Fell in love with the kutchra in white, and contemplating on getting them.
