Such a cute cat! I was hooked as soon as I saw him 🥰😍. I tried this bag on this past weekend at Strathberry and really liked it! I just wish it came in a pebbled leather in the tan colour, as I am not the best at taking care of smooth leather. It looks great on you with your all green outfit! I really like how it has a chain as opposed to a regular leather strap. Great video, Lo! 🥰

Such lovely compliments, thank you so much, also on behalf of the cat! 🥰 I also have a strong preference for pebbled leather, so I would've like more options, but smooth leather on a small bag is at least less surface to scratch. 😅

I'm also from the Netherlands and I bought my first Strathberry in May of this year. Also the Nano Tote, but mine is green/beige. Love the bag, but I wish it would be slightly bigger. It fits my phone, but you can see it on the outside. Later I also bought the Midi Tote in bottle green. But that one is much bigger and not practical when you only want to grab a small bag. But still I really love both bags!

Hi fellow Dutchie, thanks for watching! I'm 💯 with you, love the nano, just wish it was a bit bigger. The midi would be an odd size for me, I think, so I'll try not to get that, but the colors are amazing, hard to resist at times.

Oh disappointing it looks bigger than it is. Butttt I still love it 🥰 😂 great review TFS 👛🛍️🚢🙏

Kitty needs to stayyy it fits the vibe 😂 I have the tote in mini and medium size both in smooth leather, love it, pretty durable for a smooth leather in my experience thats why i added a new one in black size medium smooth leather for work. Thats how much i love this style. I m so polene out right now so i have been browsing strathberry website 😂

Lol, I had to reshoot part of this video because kitty was grooming himself in inappropriate places in my shot, how’s that for vibe? 🤣🤣🤣 Good to hear the smooth leather is durable, it always worries me, particularly with bigger bags. I think the midi is gorgeous, but that it would be an odd size for me; doesn’t fit a laptop, but is too big for my other stuff. I’d like the regular size as a workbag someday.

A couple years ago I bought a Strathberry. I was not impressed with the leather quality and construction. Returned. Perhaps the brand has upgraded since then. Glad you like yours. It's a very cute mini tote.

Thanks! Glad to hear that!

I don't know why brands never do adjustable straps on their small/mini bags. As if because the bag is smaller, your height isn't a factor anymore 🙄 This was anyway very interesting, thanks for the review. Also, I wanted to let you know I just found another interesting contemporary brand called Fleuron (they're French), do you know about them? I'm quite tempted by their Swann model, although all their models look beautiful I must say.

Yes, it’s so annoying. 😭 With small straps they also usually make them too short, as if they don’t realize a smaller bag needs more strap to still fit the same around a body. I’ve never heard of Fleuron, but the leather on their bags looks really good from the pictures. I’m putting a very hard break on the handbag purchases right now 🙈 but those are some pretty designs!

I've been eyeing Fleuron Swann bags too. Beautiful colors and the leather looks high quality. The price is reasonable and they look more expensive. I think a Swann is in my handbag future!

Nice bag! Do you think the front handle will start to lean Roy the back after a while? I like how the style looks but wondered if that would happen. Thanks for that review 😊

I think the handle should be ok, at least on the Nano. The handle already 'leans' because the top of the bag comes together at an angle. If you wear it crossbody, there's no real pressure on the tophandle, and it should stay in place.

Gorgeous bag cute concept with the dust bag. Does it zip up or have a drawstring? 👛🛍️🙏🚢

The dustbag actually doesn't have a closure! But it's the most gorgeous and thick linen tote I've ever had, almost too good to be a dustbag. 😅

Oh I want Strathberry because Princess Catherine has used one before. 🤦‍♀️ I’m a Royal watcher. Safe space. 😂

I love using this casually, but I think it'd make a great evening bag too! There's so many colors and leathers to choose from, I'm sure there's a variant that's perfect for the occasion.

The bag arrived directly inside the cardboard box?! Wasn’t protected by the soft cloth bag. It seems a bag bought on Shein.

That happens to me more often, usually with less expensive bags they're wrapped in plastic and the dustbag is inside.

Would it fit a bottle of water ?

Perhaps if it's a very small bottle (max. 200ml), but then it won't fit much else. So wouldn't recommend it.
