Teresa Tote (Pebbled Leather)

Today, I just received the espresso-colored bag I ordered. It was shipped in a simple bubble wrap bag, and I was excited to open it. However, the bag was not sealed in a box, which was disappointing. Upon removing the bag from the bubble wrap, I noticed a visible crease on the front surface, indicating some mishandling or something. I love the supple feel of the material; it is soft, lightweight, and comfortable to hold. However, when examining the front, I observed that the right side is noticeably more slanted than the left, causing an uneven appearance. This asymmetry looks unintentional and slightly off. While the bag functions as intended, I expected higher quality craftsmanship given the nearly $500 price point, and I believe it should be better constructed with more attention to detail.

Absolutely love this bag!
I was worried it would be too big, but have taken it to work a few times already and it has been perfect. Fits my laptop, notebook, lunch/breakfast containers and other essentials and is still really comfortable to carry on my shoulder.
Suggested improvements I'd love to see: a hook for my car keys, an open pocket for my phone and somewhere convenient to fit my work swipe card/lanyard so I don't have to go fishing for it while standing at the front door like a weirdo! Alternatively- I'd be interested in examples of how others have stored these items if you ever do a bag packing video on the socials again.
Otherwise, it's beautiful, definitely recommend it. X

I love it so much. The only reason it’s not 5 stars (and maybe suggestion for improvement) is that I wish there was one or two open pockets in lieu of a second zipper pocket in the interior that were just wide enough to slide a phone and/or sunglasses in and out from.

Great Business Bag bit also practical as a daily shopper for a tour in town.

Thrilled with this bag! I’m in medical sales and have a closet full of bags that never worked for me -too heavy, too structured, not the right straps, compartments etc. The Teresa Tote is perfect, the leather is soft and beautiful, perfect size, love the shape, and every compartment is intentional. I can travel with it and take it every day to work. Could not be more happy.

Loving my Teresa tote, I had been looking for a tote style bag with luggage strap which was versatile for work travel and leisure travel. Beautiful leather, great size and proportions .

I wish I could review this bag, it’s been over two weeks with still no sign of my purchase. While customer service is polite when I email. It’s an absolutely ridiculous shipping method to the US. No luxury purchase should take over two weeks to arrive to your home.
Hope to love this bag once it finally arrives, really hope it’s worth the wait.
