Handbag review number 3 (of 6) comes from Ruth. She has the mango pockets tote and is using it daily in Dubai, where she lives.

This is the second review of this design. The 1st was from Jean, also in Dubai.

The Pockets Tote (in Mango)

Q 1. What was your 1st impression of the bag you chose?

Ruth: Clean with simple lines. Stood out as it has front pockets which I need for travel – passport/egate card are now very accessible.

Q 2. Was the colour and size as expected?

Ruth: Colour is actually better then expected. The colour on the website looked very orange but this is a much more subtle orange brown – I love it. Size is actually perfect: big enough to fit all my travel and general bag junk but not too big that I’m constantly loosing things. Also love the purse. I store my bluetooth headset and change purse in there so I can find them really quickly and I use the clip to store my house and car keys – its great!!!

Q 3. The price of your bag (in UK including VAT) is £58 how do you think it measures up to value for money?

Ruth: It’s real leather for only £60! It’s a great find.

Q 4. How many times have you used it so far?

Ruth: Everyday. I think I might buy the red or purple one as well 🙂

Q 5. Has anyone commented on your new bag? What did they say?

Ruth: Yes one friend put her head in the bag and sniffed away like a loon as she couldn’t believe I have a real leather bag for only 60 quid. One other wanted your web site address as she wants one.

Thank you Ruth 🙂

PS from Shona: Ruth has already bought the same bag in purple for a friend! It must be a hit!
