Reviving this very old post to ask how you feel about the camera bag from leatherology. I've just discovered it and am tempted.
Has anyone bought anything from Mirta.com? The leather looks amazing and the prices are pretty reasonable.
Yes, I have. It is a collective, so there are several different designers at different price points. The package came beautifully wrapped and didn't take very long.
Just bought something from Hammitt Los Angeles during their "retiring styles" sale. I've heard good (and bad) things about them but have always wanted to try them out. Anyone bought anything from them?
I own 2 Hammitts and I adore them. Buttery soft leather and holding up beautifully. Mine are the small Tony (black with gunmetal) and the Mini Tony (black with gold). Their others (reversible bags in particular) are awesome too, but those styles are far too big for my frame, so I never bought one.
I was thinking of getting one of their white bags from the retiring range because I've been wanting it for around a year. Still thinking but haven't decided because I really don't need another bag, lol. The sale is around for a few more days, so I have time to pull the trigger.
May I ask which style you ordered?
If the rivets are your thing (they are definitely mine) then I would recommend these bags. I find the gold hardware a bit loud for my style (although stunning, they are definitely quite shiny and there's a lot of it between the connector rings and the rivets) so I reach for the one with gunmetal rivets more often.It's edgy and subtle.
In terms of quality, they're buttery soft and really age very well. I have seen some really bad ones in suede out and about (not sure if the owners didn't care for them properly or if the suede quality is piss poor), so based on that I wouldn't try a suede bag from them.
EDIT: I remembered I have a photo of them (attached). The larger tony has rivets on the strap and a black zipper, the smaller one has a plain strap and a red zipper. They both have red lining (faux suede).

That was the style that attracted me! I just don't really need another black bag. I already have a black bag with studs.I own 2 Hammitts and I adore them.

I got the Tony and the Nash in black with brushed gold and red zipper, basically like your (jblended's) bag on the right. Glad to hear you still love them. I do love a bag with strategically-placed rivets. I was considering the pew color as well but really loved the black with the red zipper. Thanks jblended! Now I'm really looking forward to seeing my new bags!
I don't want to enable you but there are a lot of tempting colours in the Tony style if you want to veer away from black.
But honestly, I don't think that specific style will be ever be retired. It's their signature. It seems certain colour ways are being removed (red snake, copper, etc.) not the actual style.
I say that because a lot of the classic Tony bags (black ghw) are still full price on the website, whilst the colours are part of the 'retired range sale'....so you will likely be able to get one later if you decide to wait.
Glad you're excited.
I don't know what bad things you heard about the brand but I have had no issues at all. I bought mine quite some time ago now so I'm not sure if quality is still the same, but I imagine it will be.
The white 'Nash 2' with the red zipper is the one I've been thinking to buy.
Please post pics when you get them. I'd love to see
Oh, I just did a quick search on tpf for Hammitt and some members weren't entirely pleased with their purchases. But obviously that happens with any brand.Glad you're excited.

The styling of the two bags (black leather, brushed gold, red zipper...wowza!) just drew me in. Will definitely post photos.
it too 
Just received my bags from Hammitt LA. Unfortunately I boxed up the Tony for a return right away (before I remembered to take pictures). The small Tony was just way too small for my frame. On the other hand, I am keeping the Nash. It's so functional as it can be carried as a wristlet or a crossbody bag. Also, it's small enough that it can be thrown into a larger bag as a wallet. The leather does feel buttery soft and the zippers move smoothly. However, it smells like my vegan bag which is surprising considering it is real leather. I'm hoping it just needs an airing-out. Overall, I am satisfied and now want the Dillon and the VIP.I don't want to enable you but there are a lot of tempting colours in the Tony style if you want to veer away from black.

Congrats on the Nash. It's my favourite of all their styles. Great choice! The gold on yours looks less bright than mine, so perhaps they do a matte gold and a shiny one? Anyway, I prefer yours.Just received my bags from Hammitt LA. Unfortunately I boxed up the Tony for a return right away (before I remembered to take pictures).

The small Tony you got used to be called a Mini Tony (back when I got it) and that's because it really is quite small. It's not the most functional size, but the Tony in Medium (which used to be called small) is much more functional, even the phone pocket at the back is deeper. I wish they hadn't changed the names because the original ones were more accurate descriptors of the size.
Not sure about the vegan leather smell! That never happened with mine. Hopefully that fades in time.
The Dillon is a great bag. That it's reversible in multiple ways makes it really fun. I saw one where it was 3 colours, so depending on how you flipped the top, you had 3 different looking bags.
Enjoy and thanks for posting the pic!

It's listed as brushed gold and I love it. Good to know about the Tony sizes. Thanks for the info! I pulled the trigger on the Dillon because I keep thinking about it! That and their ads keep popping up wherever I go. Darn internet cookies!Congrats on the Nash. It's my favourite of all their styles. Great choice!
