Review on Timeless Vintage Leather Crossbody Crossover Bag - Genuine Leather Purse at Its Best by Greg Shorter

Revainrating 4 out of 5

I like the style, the strap is too thin/painful

I love the style and color of this bag. It was exactly what I was looking for. The design and finish are beautiful and the size is large. The interior is VERY well finished with multiple pocket options and well stitched. The strap offers many length options and I'm tall which helps! However, there are a few "cons": 1.) The strap is so thin (both in width and in thickness) that even a small amount of weight in your pocket (just your phone, wallet, and keys) weighs it down Shoulder very uncomfortable makes short time (weight not distributed on a wider belt). Also, the leather strap isn't very thick and feels like it's going to break in a short time instead of lasting long (like a full leather case should be). 2.) The leather has a slight sheen which makes it look more like faux leather or PU. It's not bad, but compared to the second leather case I ordered the difference is quite significant (and the leather is almost twice as thin as the other case I ordered for about the same price). 3.) The edges of the bag are raw, not finished. Although I thought I'd love the casual look of this piece, you can personally tell it's not worn either as the overall thickness of the leather is also thinner (if you zoom in you can already see some 'blur' on the Leather edging on the flap and bottom of the bag, straight from the Revain shipping box.) The quality of the leather, the thickness of the strap and the sheen made the bag look cheaper so the design and the lighter skin tone and WANTED it, which for me was VERY bad Fitted but unfortunately it just missed the areas I'm considering taking it to a leatherworker to have it fitted to a thicker strap but wouldn't want to pay for it for a brand new item sigh.

Pros
  • One year trial
Cons
  • No insurance
