I got them today! Yay!
The bag is great, nice size but a little odd it get in and out of. It is taller than wide so things will pile up a bit. The leather is very sturdy, and the style of bag has reinforcing to make it stiff. The edges are glazed, even on the strap and stitching is even. The hardware is not heavy duty but also not cheap looking. The inside is lined in smooth leather. It looks and feels like it will stand up to daily use.
Customer service was good, all questions answered, shipped promptly and well packed. I chose silver hardware and requested the stitching to match the leather rather than contrast. Came exactly as requested, no extra charges.
The pochette is not what I expected but still nice. It is quite a bit bigger than I envisioned, but that is my fault for not comparing measurements. I wanted it for lipstick, pens, etc. but it is large enough to use as a clutch. There is no lining, just the suede side of the leather, in the same color as the exterior. It would be good inside larger bags, such as a Speedy or tote style bag. It is also the firm leather but there is no stiffness. It feels thick and is not flimsy.
Overall, they are more expensive than the average bag but I am pleased and will order again.
