J.W. Anderson Corner bag

[Lyonexpat]

Hello, from what I can see there isn't much information about J.W. Anderson on TPF.

I am considering buying a JWA Corner bag and was wondering if anyone has had this bag and what they thought of it. I watched a couple of videos on YT where the bag was presented very positively, but I got the impression that the videos were sponsored by Farfetch and wondered if the review was maybe biased.

The Corner bag isn't too expensive and I really like its look, but there isn't much information about it on the Internet, so I decided to open this discussion.

Any thoughts?

Thank you for your input.

I am thinking about it also. Did you buy it?

Yes, I did buy it. I’ve been wearing it regularly. I bought the small size but I believe there is a bigger size as well. I personally like how it looks with the top handle and the big gold buckle. The only inconvenience is how small the opening is. I also decided to replace the leather strap with a gold chain.
All things considered, I am really happy with my purchase.
I also got with a 30% discount which does make it more appealing.

Thank You so much! I could get it for 460EUR for now (new) but I am not sure about the gold hardware - I usually have silver hardware. Is that gold big buckle plastic?

Don't know what to do... I do like the puzzle bag but I think I would never pay that for a purse. I've been looking at the The Horse Clementine purse also but the black on is out of stock for now.

The gold buckle is made of plastic but it does not look cheap in my opinion. I also recently discovered the Clementine bag which seems really nice and cheaper than the corner bag. I am happy about my purchase but I wouldn’t rule out the Clementine bag.

Hi Lyonexpat! May I ask how you are enjoying this bag? I like the look and I’m feeling tempted..

Hi! As I mentioned in my previous post, I have been using this bag since I bought it in May and so far I am very pleased with my purchase. The leather is sturdy but also buttery. I did not like the leather strap that came with the bag (too skinny for my liking) and I replaced it with a gold chain that complements it well. As I mentioned previously, the only major drawback is the smallish opening, especially as I have big hands. There is only one very small side pocket, therefore the bag cannot be organised and becomes a black hole. However, even the small size fits quite a lot. All in all still very happy with the way it looks and how practical it is.

Thanks so much for your review - think I’ll give it a whirl! The dark mauve is calling my name..

Hi. I just found this thread. I bought the small dark mauve corner bag in June and am in love with the way it looks. I agree that the smallish opening is not the easiest feature but I knew that going in from watching the Farfetch-sponsored YT videos . Perhaps the opening is bigger in the regular size? The leather seems to wrinkle kinda easily especially around the area where the knot is but that doesn’t bother me. Again, I knew it before buying from closely looking at online pictures. The crossbody strap is too short if you are a tall person. With all that said, I still love this bag and will consider getting another one in the right color.

I know this is an old thread but I just got a preowned corner bag and I'm so happy I did!

I had been thinking about it since it first came out, but had concerns about the leather being odd and plasticky.

Love the shape. The leather is not as plasticky as I'd seen in some of the newer ones in store.

It fits so much! But yes sadly the opening is rather small
