Has anyone else experienced bobobark bags? I started seeing more of those "in the wild" - both bebe and bobo. I even asked a person wearing a Bobobark as a backpack how she liked it. She was very gracious and showed me the inside of the bag, commenting on how it was perfect for a super rainy weather here. The things she didn't enjoy was the orange lining (personal preference) and that anything placed in the middle of the bag when her laptop and water bottle were already there had to be flat to fit. It looked very chic on her and seemed well made, and as advertised, rain was just streaking down the cork without soaking it.
My von Holzhausen Technik Leather shopper in denim, 4 years of extensive wear later and still going strong! I got into a torrential downpour for about 20 minutes with this guy and he still looks the same. Their new vegan leather hobo has a top zipper which makes me covet it a little too much

My bag from Mirta has arrived but I’m really disappointed by the quality. It is a Posillipo Rosebery made by Plinio Visona. I was initially really sold by the marketing claim that all bags on Mirta were handcrafted by Italian artisans from family businesses who really cared about the quality of their products, buying a bag from them is supporting an Italian family business rather than big name fashion houses.
I even emailed their customer support team to ask what handcrafted really meant and they said they used certain steps were machine assisted but they were still considered handcrafted. I knew machine stitching didn’t necessarily mean bad since even Chanel makes bag with machines these days. I accepted the explanation. The team even told me they conducted a “quality inspection” before shipping my the bag.
When the bag first arrived I really liked the look. Loved the color combination and the unique design. I was going to take the tag off and start using it until I saw a popped stitch near the opening of the bag which really should be reinforced. Furthermore, I found a silver sharpie mark in the back of the bag. When I REALLY inspected the bag I noticed the edge glazing were sloppily done too.
I emailed Mirta again and they said they didn’t pick up the stain during their inspection and asked me to clean it with water. They also told me the bag was made with “no machine”, which completely contradicts what they had said, so imperfection was normal.
I find their explanation ridiculous. The bag is clearly machine stitched (you can tell by the look of the stitches) and now they are lying to me. The overall quality of the bag reminds me of contemporary brands like Kate Spade and Tory Burch, which are made in places like Vietnam or China not Italy. If you look from afar you might think it’s still a nice bag, but if you know where to look you’ll know it’s not premium quality like vintage Chanel or Louis Vuitton.
I’ll definitely return the bag and I hope my experience is useful to others.

Thank you for posting this, it's always a gamble when one isn't able to see the bag in person and every bag looks amazing on their website. Really appreciate your time in posting this review.
Just wanted to post quick update that this bag went to another tpfer but will leave these pics up in case it's helpful to others!
Hi all, thought I share my experience buying from one of the brands mentioned here way back in 2018, site unseen -Lanxn. I did it the bag on sale for around $160 ish.
The two day shipping actually turned into 6 weeks plus (order Sept 7, no response from support until Sept 29, upgraded shipping and got it oct 19) and I actually thought the brand shop website went defunct or something.
I actually did get the bag and I'm not too happy with it (their model pictures have no links to the actual version of the bag so it seems I bought the much bigger one) plus the imperfections that they indicate are due to the leather picked. They offered to send me another bag, so I will say their support team seemed pretty good when they respond but ah well risk you take when you never see a bag in person. Judge the images for yourself.
I had wanted a high quality leather bag with a somewhat unique design without paying full designer prices. However other than ysl envelope and Prada from the outlet dunno if the leather quality is any good. It does have a leather smell to it and I got a dust bag and huge box.
