I have a Brera. I haven't used it much, but I find it very spacious, lightweight, and the leather is beautiful. It is not lined. Here are some photos of the outside, the suede inside, filled a little, and what was in it.

WIth those few items, it was about half filled. The umbrella is a Samsonite. I don't know the length, but it fit across the bottom flat.

All my Valextra bags (Trienalle, Iside, Brera) are leather lined, but I got them from older collections, not sure if they’ve changed smth quality-wise given how much popular the brand become, before it was so much under the radar. Anyway I still love my Valextra bags, there’s no visible branding, the leather is amazing and they’re so lightweight yet luxuriously made.

I'm eyeing the brera crossbody micro bag, but I'm not seeing any good pics online that give me a sense of what fits inside. Anybody here have any insight? Or some pics of the inside of the bag with a phone, wallet, keys, etc?

If by Brera crossbody micro you mean this style, than it’s quite roomy! I can easily fit my beauty pouch, cardholder, coin holder, my keys and any other miscellaneous small objects like lipstick

Had anyone ever placed a made to order bag in leather? I am interested in Iside but curious to hear your thoughts and experiences.

I sent an email to Valextra last year asking about made to order options but got no response at all, even though I had bought at 2 bags from Valextra prior to sending the email. So, I am also curious as to whether anyone has been able to get a made to order bag from this brand.

I finally had a chance to see some Valextra bags in person after a visit to their London boutique while on vacation. I was extremely impressed with the bags. While the leather has the appearance of epsom, it's much softer to a squeeze yet bounces back to shape when released. The hardware is the best I've seen on any bags - both functional and elegant. The signature black edge painting is top notch.

I was most interested in their Brera bag and glasses cases, so I had a chance to try them out. I found the mini Brera a little smaller than I wanted. I wish they made a size in between small and medium that could be worn crossbody. I was torn between the glasses case and the one with a lanyard, so I'll be thinking about this and making a purchase online later.

All in all, I am surprised this brand doesn't get more love from the purse community. Terrific bags, great colour options, easy to buy online, and they have stock in store. While I walked out empty handed, I was super impressed. From the 20 or so bags I looked at in store, this company doesn't take a backseat to anyone in terms of quality.
