Totally makes sense. Thank you so much for the suggestion!

I have an epi leather neverfull and a large MG tote in black/Silver. I love them both. The MG is more structured. The neverfull flops closed a little more. Lmk if you'd like any specific photos.

Thanks! My main (if not only concern) about the tumble leather is that when the purse is put down it will just collapse on itself and not hold it's shape... On the website, you can tell that the leather is definitely softer, but it was modeled holding it's original shape. In this picture, see how it wrinkles up?

Hi! I'm thinking of hunting for the tumbled tote. I'm not sure what size I should get. I'm 5'0" 110lbs. I plan to put my breast pump, small cosmetic pouch, continental wallet and a small lunch tupperware. Would the small size be ok for me? Do you think the material is sturdy? Thanks in advance!!

Hi there!

I need some advice. I purchased my large tote back in October and used them maybe less than 10 times and I noticed the stitching is started to fray/loosen on one of the handle. Anybody have this issue or have a solution to fix this? I don't want the situation to get worse.

Thanks in advance!

Was this from their first production which was made in China or is this tote made in Italy?

This tote is made in Italy. I didn't even know they were made in China.

Same here. They are all made in Italy as far as I know.

I had read they started out making the bags in China when they began and moved production to Italy.

how do these generally hold up? i want one but i'm iffy about it

 

[Jaime]

I'm taller than you and don't feel it's too small. It depends what you want it for. I don't buy bags based on my height but based on their use. The mini mini fits my wallet, sunglasses in hard case, keys, phone and coin purse. That is plenty for going out for dinner/lunch but not big enough for every day. So I don't use it often but it's a good size for that purpose.

The first tote I bought from them was made in China. They moved production to Italy because the quality is better. There are some fakes that are being produced in China.

I'm a CPA that needs a sturdy bag to haul files and papers in. I have 3 of the small totes and abuse all of them with the weight of the files. They are pretty sturdy.
