I wanted to try a coated canvas bag for a long time, but refuse to pay what LV wants for theirs. Someone on this thread (I think) mentioned Roberta Pieri bags, so I checked them out and ordered the small Bea bag. It was lost for a few weeks, went from Italy to Germany to Ohio to Kentucky to Arkansas, but it finally arrived today.

I have to compliment DHL and Roberta Pieri for outstanding customer service. DHL called daily to let me know the status of the investigation into its disappearance. Pieri, upon learning that it was lost, immediately offered to make another one and mail it within a couple of days. So here it is and I am very pleased with it.

I got the small size which is perfect for me. It is very lightweight and seems to be very well made. The zipper works very well, better than a lot of my designer bags. There is a chemical odor which is not obnoxious that is rapidly fading within an hour of the bag being taken out of its wrapping. It is easy to access your things in the bag.

And the way the pocket on one side is attached to the bag leaves a space that is perfect for your phone.

All in all I am really pleased with the bag and it was a tiny fraction of the cost of an LV. I got it to take on a vacation to the beach so I won't have to worry about salt water, sand and sunshine. But I think I will be using it for a lot more than that.
I have no clue about the durability, but will update on that later.
Update:
I went back to their site to check on something else and saw where Pieri says the bags will last at least 6 yrs and maybe more. If one does not, you can send it back for repair!

It looks very cute! Thanks for the detailed review!

Does anyone have any recommendations for anything in the style of LV Capucines Taurillon or Fendi Peekaboo? I really like the shape of those two specifically because they seem to taper perfectly to the top, and are structured without having too "harsh" (to me) lines. Very classic silhouettes to me, love them in the taupe ish colours like Galet / Dove Grey, and their leather is so divine

I need to update that the smell is 99% gone after a couple of days. I am now a fan of good quality coated canvas bags to go along with all of the lushious leather ones I have. The bag is a refreshing change and I can't stop using it. If you want to try coated canvas at a reasonable price, I recommend this brand.

I was so excited to learn about Hammitt from this thread and almost jumped the gun on their VIP Med and then I found out they're made in China. Ugggh, so irritating. Now I'm on the hunt for a shimmery black leather like that

Never heard of this brand, so thank you! This bag looks beautiful. <3 I appreciate that while it's sort of similar to LV, it's not really that close to it that one could confuse the two at a distance. That definitely shows personality, I think. The way they did the slip pockets on the side is quite clever, too!

I am still enjoying this bag and have not stopped carrying it since I got it. For the price it is worth a look if you want to try coated canvas.
