I&#8217;ve had this for about six months now, and it still looks as good as new, it&#8217;s vegan leather (but you wouldn&#8217;t be able to tell) and gives me such 90s vibes. I honestly right now pick this bag up more than any others in my collection &#8211; no one here in the UK (that I hang about with) has heard of the brand, it isn&#8217;t covered in any logos, yet I just feel so elevated and put together when I wear it. It&#8217;s so well made, it doesn&#8217;t need a designer logo, but it <em>is<\/em> designer quality. So much so, that I&#8217;ve just purchased it in cream too.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">They are (obviously) based in NYC, but do ship to the UK, though shipping will set you back an extra \u00a340, and there&#8217;s custom fees to pay too &#8211; but the bag itself will cost you about \u00a3250. Pricey, yes, but for the quality, luxury feel, and unique design &#8211; I honestly think the price point is incredible. There&#8217;s also no hardware at all on the bag &#8211; which I often find can cheapen a piece, if you&#8217;re not careful &#8211; so that was a huge bonus.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">It&#8217;s also a very versatile piece, I&#8217;ve used this for afternoon tea in the daytime, evening restaurant visits, and even a wedding party. It doesn&#8217;t hold the world &#8211; mine fits my card holder, small makeup pouch, house and car keys, a small perfume, and my phone nice and easily; and can be closed with the leather flap over the bag, or worn &#8220;open&#8221; as I do, with the leather flap rested inside the bag. It&#8217;s very well structured too, and comes with a piece of (vegan) leather, that keeps the straps close together, if you wish. I think the design is exceptionally clever, and a very welcome, fresh addition to the market.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Well done Freja &#8211; you have a new fan in me.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-17164 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.stephaniejayneblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/logo-2.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"116\" height=\"115\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.stephaniejayneblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/logo-2.png 885w, https:\/\/www.stephaniejayneblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/logo-2-300x297.png 300w, https:\/\/www.stephaniejayneblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/logo-2-150x150.png 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 116px) 100vw, 116px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":17606,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[802],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-17608","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-fashion"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.stephaniejayneblog.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/17608","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.stephaniejayneblog.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.stephaniejayneblog.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.stephaniejayneblog.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.stephaniejayneblog.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=17608"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.stephaniejayneblog.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/17608\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":17698,"href":"https:\/\/www.stephaniejayneblog.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/17608\/revisions\/17698"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.stephaniejayneblog.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/17606"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.stephaniejayneblog.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=17608"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.stephaniejayneblog.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=17608"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.stephaniejayneblog.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=17608"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
