The Pockets Tote (in Purple)
Q 1: What was your 1st impression of the bag you chose?
Jean: I loved the colour of the bag. The purple really grabbed my attention. Plus the two pockets on the outside also made me take a second glance because I spend half of my life digging through my purses searching for my phone and car keys. The pockets looked big enough for my phone to easily fit in one and the keys in the other.
Q 2. Was the colour and size as expected?
Jean: The colour is absolutely perfect. I had never carried a purple bag before but I have always admired them. I am very pleased with the size as well. This bag is neither large nor small. I can easily fit my iPad in for work, but it’s not so large that you feel like you are fishing around in a bottomless pit when you need to get your brush or lipstick out. The opening is wide enough that you can easily see what’s inside. The leather is quite soft as well.
Q 3. The price of your bag (in UK including VAT) is £58 how do you think it measures up to value for money?
Jean: For a well-made, leather bag, it is a very reasonable price.
Q 4. How many times have you used it so far?
Jean: I have been carrying it for the past three days to work and socially as well. It is very versatile.
Q 5. Has anyone commented on your new bag? What did they say?
Jean: Funny you should ask! Just this morning, I was out for coffee with 5 of my colleagues. When I arrived, they all noticed my bag. It got passed around the table and everyone loved it. I showed them the little matching change purse that comes with it and explained how I used the two pockets for my phone and keys. Right then one of them went to your website and they started looking at all of your bags! She sent the link to all of the others, so maybe you will get some customers ! One in particular wants exactly the same as mine!
Thank you Jean 🙂
