1. The style I love Hermès Kelly bag but realistically, I'll never be offered that bag especially not in the mini size. Carbotti Hera bag has the same style without looking like a fake, copy bag.
2. The quality. The quality is really really good. It's hand-nade. Your can choose the leather, the color and the lining color. It's made in Italy.
3. The price. It's under 500€. This bag is realistically priced.
:biggrin:

I just bought Oliveve's Taya handbag recently and thought I'd do a review here in case anyone is interested. I just took some photos with my ipad and of course something happened to them and I can't find them so I hope you will excuse me using the website photo:
1699379082544.png

Pros: The leather - It's thick and smooshy, seems very durable and slouches nicely. The bag design - I like how it kinda folds in on itself and has a top handle and crossbody option. The price - I'm into Hermes, so a $350 bag that's made in the USA seems really inexpensive to me. That being said...
Cons: The hardware - they only seem to offer this gold option which IMO doesn't go with many of their colors and the hardware is also flimsy and seems like it would be the first thing on the bag to break even if the leather lasts forever. The edging - or rather, lack thereof. There is no glazing on the bag, the edges are raw and unfinished. I"m sure this goes a long way to allowing them to offer it at the price they do, but personally I'd rather pay more for better hardware and finishings.
And finally, the strap - both a pro and a con. A pro in that it's detachable. A con because it's not adjustable at all and rather a long length.
Overall I'd say it was a fun and relatively cheap foray into a new, US-based brand and I do like Oliveve's designs but I'm not sure I'd buy another bag of theirs unless they addressed some of these cons. Hope this helps someone!

Super cheap beaten up YSL muse in a color I always dreamed about when it was an IT bag. Now I just dream of soaking it in something like leather honey and use its sturdy leather for a workhorse tote …it still has everything YSL stood for….elegance, great shades of color, timeless dome shape and that subtle gold hardware I love so much more than from any other designer, just goes well with every color

So beautiful! :tup: Even with all the signs of wear. And the color is just the perfect shade of wine red, IMO.
