I learned about this brand accidentally through just googling for a nice barrel bag. I discovered the Little Dorrit and just *fell in love* with the red.
Received it a little while ago and, I must say, I'm in LOVE! The leather is soft and supple, while still retaining a sense of thickness, sturdiness, and shape. It came in a beautiful black box (gorgeous opening experience!) and pressed down, which alarmed me at first... but it straightened it out with ease and I really got a feel for the sturdiness of the leather. No creases! After a while in shipping! It also came with a personally signed quality assurance check with name, and a note on how it had been treated with their brand of balsam right before shipping. It all felt so personal and luxurious.
It is a gorgeous, vibrant, rich colour (glossy rather than matte, for those interested, but not super glossy... the slight shine on the pictures online are very accurate). I'm sure it'll scratch and develop a patina, and the notes by the company said to expect that, alongside that their bags are made to wear like that, so I feel quite reassured. It smells great, feels great, and fits EVERYTHING while not feeling overly full. I feel both refined and adorable when wearing it--somehow!
I am just so impressed by this brand and had to write about it. Utterly in love, and I'm now in the process of checking out all their other items now! Absolutely gorgeous.
