You made me look! They are interesting and beautiful as you say. I'd like to see them IRL in order to feel the quality.
Right! It didn’t appear like they are at my local Neimans so I may just have to place the order and judge for myself. I really like the Hammock style.
The camel. Or the mint green one. I love the classic look of the camel brown but the mint color is fun and on trend.
So I did buy the Sabrina Zeng hammock bag in Camel from Neimans. The quality is there. It’s a great bag with a fun silhouette. I put the essentials in and it had a great drape, exactly like the photos. I carried it all weekend and really liked the way it draped as a crossbody but also was well fitting as a shoulder bag when I had a big coat on. My clunky sun glass case fit but required me to adjust the length of the strap which was fine. The stitching is consistent and quality. The dust bag has a nice flocked fleece interior. The lining of the bag is soft and well made with a tight leather pocket. The lamb skin is soft, not as soft as my Celine trio, but it’s also pretty durable and doesn’t seem like it’ll scratch easily. The color is a smidge more orangey than appeared on line but still a great brown. The zipper is a bit rough but slides well. All in all a keeper that I think I’ll carry a lot without worry it’ll be easily damaged. I really loved the bum bag trend and this feels like an elevated version of that as a close fitting crossbody.
Looking for info and reviews on Lafore Paris for my niece?

She's not vegan but doesn't want leather for work because she wants the back-pack without the weight of leather nor does she want plastic/nylon.
Although she's young, hardly in her 20s, her styling is a lot more lady-like than mine, and she's truly petit. I thought of Lafore Paris and their Bobobark backpack. I can't show her, or ask her opinion without giving the game away IYKWIM so any thoughts, feedback or knowledge would be great. Anyone else with cork-leather anything from anywhere feel free to chip-in. Any other recommendations of similarly non-sporty, non-urban, non-rural, non-street, no logos, please join in.
There're lots of reviews on their own site but...who knows
This colour is called Emerald but it's more a dark teal in my eyes. Black would be OK but quite grown-up, she's def not a rust brown girl.

BagsInProgress. They have bags that are not only roomy inside and out, have lots of pockets but adjustable straps, too! Made in USA and Japan and are priced reasonably.
I found out about them while looking through totes on Urban Outfitters, been a fan of theirs since.
Their customer service is fantastic. They are responsive and apologetic and were to quick to offer solutions when I received a defective bag. The CS is super sweet and helpful.
The bag I have is a smaller tote, and it is super light, roomy, and I love the snap closure. I love this brand!

I don't know anything about the brand or cork but I think this looks beautiful! The color, the natural variations of the cork, and the styling are gorgeous.Looking for info and reviews on Lafore Paris for my niece?

Back in this thread, someone bought a cork bag and was disappointed. I can't remember the circumstances.
Thanks, I like the style too and I think it would really suit her.
Anything that doesn't give to much trouble after a couple of year of heavy daily wear would be a green light. I (only) have another 6 weeks to decide.
I have one in a speedy style. I have it for 4 years. Carried maybe 10 times. No issues.Looking for info and reviews on Lafore Paris for my niece?

It held up very well. Light and well made.
It feels just like suede.
