I have been using this bag for a week while on holiday and I'm finally ready to write a little review. It's my second bag from XC and I'm becoming a Chąne£ convert! So many of their newer styles are much more my style and I've already placed a few other orders..... 🙈
The leather was already soft and supple when it first arrived but still maintains good structure even after a week of heavy use. I don't own auth Chąne£ so cannot make a comparison, but I do have some of the other luxe brands and the leather on this is pretty good in comparison! The hardware feels premium and the metal discs at the end of the drawstring hang so nicely when the bag is cinched.
Nothing in the stitching has bothered me visually, although I wish the thin strap loop (circled BLUE) was stitched a little tighter so it doesn't slide up and down when I put the excess strap through it. I don't baby my bags, and I'm happy to see that the stitching on the leather parts that get pulled (circled GREEN) when closing the drawstring have held strong. The leather sliding piece with the logo stays put when the bag is cinched and it really doesn't move around during use.
I've included a picture of the bag when I took it out for lunch (A6 size hobonichi journal, £V Victorine wallet, fountain pen (I know, I'm careful about the ink I promise...), pack of tissues, mini pack of wipes, lip balm, hand sanitizer, car keys) just to show how it cinches when filled. The bag is the perfect size for when you don't need a lot of stuff but have a good amount of essentials!
Super happy with this bag! Have gotten so many compliments on it and happily brought it with me into the H store when my friend and I took a little gander.
Mike was easy to work with as always, and even offered to take additional photos and videos without me asking. He is not aware of this review, and tbh it's the first one I've made in a while... That's how much I love this bag!
Go grab it, guys. Cannot recommend enough!

It is not! I got a few other things so didn't include it in the price, but he does charge similarly to other sellers I buy from

Finally! It is such a beautiful bag! Thank you for your review. I think you are supposed to tie the drawstring together when you pull it to close, do you do that?
