I don't normally carry bags this small so I may need a new wallet lol My mom has cancer and when I'm with her, I carry her shopping bags and sometimes her handbag, too, if she's tired, so I wanted a lightweight, zippered bag with a crossbody strap and this fits my requirements. The description says the interior is beige with a card slot. I also think it's a good size to wear to a casual, garden wedding if I remove the crossbody strap and I'm sure I will find other occasions to wear it. I should have it early next week and will post pictures!Ooh! I look forward to seeing it! Especially how the interior looks and what fits
Gotcha. Here’s a pic of my medium with an insert.
The insert is from my Neonoe. It was fairly inexpensive from Amazon.
If this link doesn’t work, in the search bar type in Neonoe purse organizer. It comes with two - one zipped, one open.
Hope this helps.

Thanks for sharing. I discovered this brand year ago but cannot find any comment online, not until I got here. I received my mini swan in taupe today. it's so nice
Update: I absolutely love my Fleuron purse. I got the Medium Swann in Cookie colour (vegetable tanned leather). I went around Singapore and Bangkok with it. It was raining and water dripped all over my purse. There were some water stains so I used a cloth to wipe them out. I, unfortunately, did not use a waterproofing spray.
Literally, about 5-10 minutes later, the water stains were gone. No stains at all!!! It looks just the same. The leather is phenomenal. Worth the price, I must say. I think it is even better than the Louis Vuitton vachetta leather (Fleuron is only 1/4 of LV prices). My sister’s Noe BB already has a water stain
.
Quality over Status symbol for me and clearly, Fleuron leather wins!
I attached photos as proof that there are no stains. It did patina a little bit.

Here’s the response I got from Fleuron regarding the skiving:
“This part of the leather is trimmed (of skived) to te finest and glued for the seamless experience on the strap.
It may lift a little over time but in your case, after one day of use, I think it was just not glued correctly at the atelier and we are sorry we didn’t noticed this when checking your bag before sending it to you. It’s indeed bak luck because it’s not something that was signaled to us before..
To correct this issue, you may put a little white glue or wood glue at both ends, wait for 2mn and fold the trimmed leather.
We are very sorry for not providing a perfect experience with your bag, and we will add more check points on our next orders thanks to your feedback.”
It was a bit strange to be told to glue it back down myselfbut glad they seem to be taking feedback on board. We shall see how things go moving forward!
I’ve managed to do a pretty neat job of gluing both the peeling flaps down but we shall see how long this lasts…

I’ll see your skiving and raise you a cut it yourself!I just received my Caramel Swann after waiting several weeks. Where the first two were 10/10, this one is an 8. The leather doesn’t feel as supple as the taupe one. I moisturized it, but I shouldn’t have to do that with a new bag. My biggest issue is/was the strap. Some of the holes weren’t punched cleanly & two of the slits weren’t cut all the way through. I emailed the company. The response was ‘let’s do some DIY! Get a flat head screw driver and cut the slits yourself.’
Seriously?! Was plan on ordering the black one like @TraceySH , but I think I’m done.
Wishing others better luck with theirs.
