I agree with your SA, especially with ivory. I have tried it in store and the leather could easily get scratched and color transferred. I was planning to get the E/W this xmas but I just got something else.... gotta wait again.
I don't understand the point of these, but they sure are cute! https://us.strathberry.com/collecti...ucts/the-strathberry-tote-miniature-turquoise
Hi! I am thinking of ordering from the Strathberry website. I am in Canada too. Do you remember if you had to pay taxes customs and duties when the bag arrived or was everything included in checkout?
I don't believe I had to pay extra customs/duties but it wasn't calculated at checkout either. My purchase was about $400 CAD and it was shipped via FedEx so I was kind of surprised I didn't have to pay extra charges!
As far as I know, duties and customs are included if it’s shipped to Canada. I bought the Lana midi bucket bag. It’s very well made. I have worn it a few times. I am thinking about selling it. The bag is great quality, but just found it doesn’t suit my lifestyle.
I bought the Lana Bucket bag (regular size). It is quite large, but seems appropriate for my size (I'm 5' 9"). I could see it overwhelming a more petite frame, though.
I have the midi Lana bucket bag. I’d say it’s not small by any means, but everyone sees it differently. It’s absolutely enough for everyday stuff - phone, keys, a long wallet, hair brush etc. I even threw in a thin cardigan by scrunching it up. For thicker cardigan, you can probably still throw it in there, you just might not be able to close it. It’s a magnetic closure. To me, closing the bag or not doesn’t affect its look - it’s a hobo bag, so it’s a casual look anyway. But, of course, for security reasons, you probably prefer it closed.
Thanks for this! I still wish there was a size in between midi and regular. I think that would be perfect for me.
I purchased the Midi Lana Bucket Bag during Strathberry's sale and really like the size of it. I think it's perfect for essentials + a lot of room for a little more, for days/weeks when that kind of flexibility can be helpful.
Even though I generally prefer a zipper or flap closure, I actually like this bag without them - it does give it a more casual look that I prefer for a bucket bag, and it also allows the hardware the shine. The strap configuration confused me a little but after fiddling with it a bit I was able to figure out how it can be both a shoulder bag and extended to crossbody, so I appreciate the versatility.
I snapped a quick picture of the inside - I use Stashio cloth organizers, which have some structure but have some give built into them, and was able to fit them comfortably (with room to spare on all sides) along with a pouch for cosmetics/hygienic products.

Its held up quite well actually, better than I thought. No major scratches. I wouldn't say it has gained much of a patina. Not sure about the laptop I'm afraid
