J. Wilson LondonDesigner 100% Pure Genuine Real Distressed Vintage Hunter Leather Handmade Unisex Crossover Shoulder Messenger Briefcase Bag

I was all set to open the package and then have to return it because of poor quality. But I love it. For the price, the quality is fabulous. I got the distressed purple one and it's a lovely muted purplish colour - not at all 'in your face', colour-wise, while nevertheless being discernably purple. It's also the size I was hoping for (big enough to take an A5 notebook and pen, my Kindle, my purse, my phone, my keys and a very small makeup bag). I love the fact that it's a fairly plain, functional, understated design, but it is still clearly not 'masculine' - it's definitely a woman's bag, but is not in the least 'girly'. Looks and feels good when worn cross-body as a 'messenger'-style bag. It arrived with a couple of very visible scratches on it, but I am happy that they will soon become non-noticeable, as it gets more 'distressed' as I use it. The leather is strong-feeling, and smooth, but as it has the distressed, matte finish, it will soon pick up lots of little marks in use (which is fine - it will add to the character of the bag). The lining and pockets inside the bag seem strong and well stitched-in. The strap is made of the same leather as the bag itself, and the 'ribbon' you can see in the pics is stitched all along the strap, just to one side of the strap (the side that is in contact with your shoulder). This gives a bit more grip and I guess also prevents any transfer of the leather dye to your clothes. All in all, a good-looking, useful-sized, good quality, well-made, sturdy BARGAIN.

I love this bag so much. I ordered the 'distressed pink' colour and it's a nice vibrant pink just as it's shown in the product pictures which I'm very happy about. It's the perfect size, I would use it on a night out and not feel it's too big, but it's big enough for daily use and fits purse, phone, and other rubbish ladies like to cart along with them, plenty of compartments. I like the strap being thicker than my previous crossbody bags, it makes it more comfortable and as the strap's a bit bigger and more rigid I can easily flip it over me when I'm wearing a hooded coat - something that I've found to be a nuisance with other crossbody bags. I love the smell of the quality leather. Such a nice bag and a really good price.

This is a handy , attractive, well made handbag which is excellent value for money. It can hold a variety of electronic devices with ease. It is easy to hold and very practical. I love using it and would recommend it to anyone.😀

Having read the reviews I was happy to part with my money, and expected something that would be worth the very reasonable price I paid. HOWEVER, what I have received, and am using daily, is a bag of a quality that I would have expected to have paid much more for! The leather is of a decent thickness and quality, the bag is lined, has zip pockets both inside and at the back of the bag, and most important for me, the main compartment has a zip across, so even if the flap of the bag comes open, contents will not spill out. I am so pleased with this bag, that I will be buying another one after Christmas, to keep for when this one wears out, which I don't think will be for a long while yet, but you can guarantee that they won't be at this price for long. The bag I bought is the light brown colour, and it is everything I could have possibly asked for.Someone else has commented that the bag was quite rigid or stiff. Yes the body of the bag is firm, but I would expect and prefer that for a new bag, especially leather, until it is worn in. Certainly hasn't caused any issues for me. The bag holds everything I need on a daily basis including some medication, without being oversized. Very very happy with this purchase

This bag arrived quite quickly and is exactly as described if not nicer in person. Soft and roomy, does exactly what's expected.

I purchased this bag in May 2024 & have recently begun to use it. It's perfect in every way & arrived earlier than expected. Especially, love the colour, purple. I'm a very happy Customer.

I like the colour and it is well made. My only gripe is that fitting a purse or a pair of gloves for example is a tight fit. I had hoped to use it for an all purpose bag but it will have to be a special outings only, when I don't need to take much. Overall it is disappointing and not roomy enough for purpose.

Lovely bag, great colour and perfect size
