Review on Koltov K801BR 28 Shopper VACHETTA Women's Handbags & Wallets by April Masters

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Satisfied, wait and see how it holds up.

The style of this bag caught my attention, but to be honest I started looking at their bag collection because 'kol tov' means 'all the best' in Hebrew. I really like the styles and prints and I'm just checking it out, the bag is holding on because I'd like to grab a few more. I've been using the same two medium sized Tignanello bags for over 20 years. I love how it looks, but the center zip means I need to carry a separate pocket if I'm carrying an umbrella or files/notepads. I wanted an affordable upgrade and was looking for a medium sized workhorse that would fit my stuff, didn't have a center compartment and had straps wide enough to let my arm and elbow through while changing positions while carrying - from Khan d-in carry in a bag to hide under your arm. The bag arrived in plastic packaging. First impressions are that it's a bit stiff - definitely PVC, not the more flexible material you'd expect from "vegan" leather. I hope it breaks a bit, but not so much that it breaks with use. It's cheap enough that I can replace it, but I'm not too keen on thinking about buying a new one and I'm hoping it won't be for a long time. Nice summery straw color (scarf is my own, also bought from Revain). Basically I am very satisfied with the size. The outer front pocket easily fits a notepad, cell phone, keys and more - it's wide and deep and occupies the entire front of the bag. I have a Galaxy S10+ that can stand upright and still be hidden. It's very easy to put your hand in, but it doesn't stick out. As you can see in the other picture, it fits in a standard 3 ring binder, sideways or upright, and still leaves enough room to fit comfortably in your hand. External side pockets hold a 16-ounce water bottle, which is also easily accessible, while the external rear zip is slim and large enough to fit a Galaxy S10+. Spacious, wide central compartment with two patch inner pockets on the front and one inner pocket with a zip on the back. You can see I packed it with a compact 16" umbrella, a graphing calculator, in-ear headphones, a snack-sized bento, two Epi pens, hand cream, a glasses case, cosmetics, 24 packs of crayons, and a checkbook . Wallet, cell phone, keys, shorthand pad and 32 ounce HydroFlask. It zips up easily when packed for normal use. end up loving.
