I got this from a company called Crush Leather Goods. The bag is said to be handmade in Spain. I am used to premier bags for the most part, but really wanted a sturdy shoulder bag that I wouldn't have to worry about and this one is that. It even has an inside zipper pocket in the center, so the bag is not one big dark cavern, but 3 compartments. I added an H scarf to fancy it up a bit. Overall, for around $200 USD, I am very pleased.

I absolutely love ostrich! All of Karoo Classics’ handbags are made in South Africa of farmed ostrich leather. I ordered this little Kelly-style bag earlier this month - it finally arrived from Stellenbosch today! The interior is leather-lined with multiple pockets. I think it’s so pretty! :heart:

Stunning!
I love ostrich as well!
I have a Prussia blue Laurus Geneva bag which I love, but it doesn’t fit my current phone and keys and cards etc well..

I’d buy a larger version-the leather is beautiful..when I lived in Paris I had a beautiful charcoal grey ostrich bag..I’m not sure what happened to it, but it didn’t come back with me..your bag is lovely..

I’d sell my Laurus bag to help fund a larger one, but it’s so beautiful,that I don’t want to lose a lot of money on it, and it’s only really H exotics which hold their value..
I guess as an evening bag where I don’t need my phone it would be fine, otherwise if I needed my phone but wasn’t carrying my keys around it would work fine..

Your bag looks so well made as well -I’ll definitely look them up..I was bitten by the exotic bug at a very tender age lol!

I am in love with Songmont. I first got their Luna bag (worn 4 ways in black) and loved the quality so much that I got their small Duffle (in pearl grey). The small Duffle smelled great and every stitch was perfect. The feel of the leather was amazing.

Is this the regular size Luna? Do you think it's a good size? What can you fit in this if you're doing the hand carry version (i.e. no extra strap?)

There's not much difference between the regular and the small size but once you looped it to itself without the strap, it squishes it a bit more so I'm torn.. I thought the small version looks cuter in the 2 hand carry ways but worried it'll be too small. The medium seems more versatile with what it can hold.

Thank you for your help!

Maison Pourchet - a French leather goods company founded in 1903 - their flagship boutique is in the Place des Vosges in Paris. :love:

Not all of their models are made in France, but this one is!:

I’ve seen vintage bags from Pourchet and love the shapes. Do you have any experience w vintage Pourchet? I assume it’s as good, if not better, than current but would love to hear of any firsthand experience.
