Some bags look beautiful in photos but you only really appreciate them once you start using them. That’s exactly how I feel about this 38cm tote. I wanted something spacious, polished and practical enough for everyday use and this one ended up being exactly that.

First impressions

It has that classic structured but relaxed look and the size is honestly perfect if you like carrying more than just the essentials. The exterior has a clean, understated appearance while the tan leather details add just enough contrast.

The stitching is neat and consistent throughout and I really like how the leather trim follows the edges of the bag. Nothing feels overly flashy, it’s more of a timeless everyday piece.

The inside surprised me

The interior is probably my favorite part. The striped lining gives the bag a completely different character when you open it and the large open compartment makes it incredibly easy to organize and reach for things.

There’s also a zipped section inside, which is useful for keeping smaller items secure. For a 38cm bag, it has a really practical amount of space without feeling unnecessarily bulky.

After using it

What I appreciate most is that it actually feels like a bag I can use regularly rather than something that needs to be treated like a display piece. It works for everyday errands, work, travel and pretty much anywhere I need to carry a decent amount with me.

The handles are comfortable, the proportions look great when carried and the overall construction feels solid.

Seller experience

Lucy was genuinely lovely to work with on this purchase. She took the time to answer all my questions properly, even the little things I wasn’t sure about and was always patient and reassuring. I really appreciated how professional and attentive she was throughout rather than simply rushing the order through. The shipping was another pleasant surprise, the method she used was both quick and secure  and the bag reached me sooner than I expected. Overall she made the whole experience feel very smooth and well organised.

Final thoughts

This ended up being one of those purchases where the more I look at it, the more I like it. The size, interior, leather detailing and overall design all come together really well. $245 including shipping felt like a very fair price for what I received.
