I love mine. I have 5 of them now in three different prints. I mainly use the Tall Tote Shopper because it rains here a lot, and I've yet to get water spots on the others.
I have only one issue - sag. This is something that gets mentioned often with covered canvas bags.
My Top Flap Drawstring bag needs a little organizer inside or it'll fall over. With that organizer, it's wonderfully functional, as I might explain later. I originally didn't like the Aristo print, I mainly bought it because I got it cheaply pre-loved. But over time the leather has patinaed to this gorgeous color that looks sooo good with the Aristo pattern, I just love looking at it.
My Tall Tote Shopper tends to sag on one side towards the bottom - in two places, so the bag lists a bit. You can see the kind of sag I'm talking about here:

I probably should stuff it more or hang it while storing. It often gapes at the top because I stuff it full of stuff I need when doing specific things where I even need a small binder. That makes the sag worse, but otherwise I've found no problem with stuffing it.
The Luxury Tote sags a little bit, but not as much. If I were to stuff it more, it probably would sag less. The Boston Bag needs to be stuffed more while stored, because it tends to collapse a little bit on one side.
I have an album with all of mine, if you want to see them. Just check my profile.

I have not noticed anything.
I was going to say I try to avoid putting my phone or tablet next to a magnet, but I now realize my phone regularly sits in a pocket that's right inside the magnet on the Top Flap Drawstring. I keep the flap folded down inside the bag, so that part isn't involved, but the magnet that sits on the front almost touches the phone. Like I said, I haven't noticed anything so far.
I ended up giving mine to my daughter in law and she loves them! (I was downsizing) I somewhat regretted it when I saw how good it looked when she carried it!

Lucky girl!
Magnets play havoc on my droid. I am getting a different phone soon,so maybe it won't matter.
Mine is a Nokia N8 with a leather cover on it, and an Ipod Touch with a faux leather cover. Both variously sit close to the magnet, because I put them both in the bigger pocket, not the cell phone pocket.
Depending on what purse you get, it may not matter, because there are often several pockets you could use that are far enough away from the magnets.
Here's one Rioni that's been "rode hard":

Why would they even try to sell something like this? Not likely to sell.. What does it take for a crack or hole to form in coated canvas? Scissors?

Wow! They got a lot of use out of that one!!
My bags used to look like that back when I was in HS and college. I'd get one bag and use it until it just begged for mercy. Lol!
Interesting that they're trying to sell it in that condition. I wouldn't attempt that myself. I'd be too embarrassed.
That is one very well worn bag. I was looking at the tulip bag but the straps do not go on the shoulder,but it says it comes with a strap. It does not say how long the strap is. I don't want a bag with a center zip pocket. I have an Mk signature jet set tote with a center zip, but it is a bit to big. What I should say is I put to much in the big bags and then they get to heavy. I going to shop my closet for a bit till I see a shop that has them near me.
