CharlestonDe Lady Tote PU Leather Shoulder Bag Set

This is a very decent facsimile of the bag it is imitating. It will not fool someone who has a real one, for three main reasons: one,it is larger than the ‘PM’ size but smaller than the ‘GM’ size. Two, the trim/stitching is not high-end. By this I mean the sheen of the thread is wrong, the stitching in places (especially on the inner ‘pouch’) is TERRIBLY crooked on the one I received and the ‘leather’ trim other than the actual handles is very cheap, not edged properly (the edges are glazed and look sort of ‘rolled’ on a real piece).Three, the chevron pattern is not spaced exactly like a real one; the chevrons do not touch the way they should, though from a distance it is not obvious.However, it IS the right color (I bought the dark green) and the logo painted into the chevron is pretty much correct. The handles do look like leather and this particular one is ALMOST as floppy/slouchy as the real one is.I have others that were better as far as the trim & pouch construction goes but the canvas-like material was much stiffer and holds a shape. (it’s not supposed to)The chevron pattern DOES look handpainted; not all the dots are exactly the same and they are raised slightly like dots of paint would be.The interior looks very real and the pouch is attached to the main bag in the same way as the real version.What I’m saying is, if someone who has a real one is standing next to you in line, they will be able to tell your bag is not authentic because of the chevrons not touching, the trim, and the size.If they have never seen one in person or they are not right next to you you are likely to pass it off.I purchased acrylic paint in the same colors as the chevron pattern and added dots with a very fine brush freehand in the appropriate spots to make the chevrons look completely real.This was VERY time consuming (and quite difficult on the interior pockets of the pouch) and then coated the fabric with two layers of Fiebings Bag-Kote in ‘clear’ to keep the new acrylic dots from scraping off or dissolving in rain.My bag consequently looks quite real as far as the print goes and is really only betrayed by the poor quality of trim and size. Well, I can just not pull out the pouch in public, and the trim is only obvious if you are very close. I suppose if I were motivated enough I could take it to a leather repair shop and have it restiched. So that leaves size. Mine is 21 inches long (at the top is where you measure), 11&1/2 inches tall and about 5 & 1/2 inches deep. A real GM is 23x13x7 and a PM is 19x11x6. Well, there’s nothing you can do about that, is there.But when it’s folded up on your arm it will ‘pass’ pretty easily as the PM. If you bought the PM size, I guess you could try and pass that off as the Junior, which is not made anymore.I wish they would sell an actual GM size, it’d be beautiful.But meanwhile, this is a decent facsimile at a tiny fraction of the very high-end price of the real McCoy.

This bag came SUPER fast! I wasn’t expecting it to arrive so quickly. It’s actually a very beautiful bag. I was a little skeptical about designer inspired handbags but this one is pretty close. There is an odd scent though but if you can get over that then it’s a great $50+ spent!

1. It's lovely quality, but the proportions are off. Size is longer than stated and shorter than stated, So it's very rectangular and the luxury buyer will know its imitation.2.color is aqua, not really a light blue. Photo looks more blue, it's turquoise!

the strap is way way to short for the average person. The overall feel of the bag is pretty good but the lack of a decent strap made this item not usable for me.

I was hesitant to open the package, fear of being unhappy and low and behold! Not a single flaw! I’m loving it and will order more! I took a chance on the color and I love it!!!

Another excellently executed tribute. Great stitching, color and pattern make it look like the real deal.Only close examination will reveal its origins.

I wasn't expecting too much-but I was very pleasantly surprised!! It is really cute and roomy! And arrived much faster than predicted

This bag came just as pictured packaged well, included dust cover. No smell,only the leather handlesThat are stitched well and look sturdy. Very pleased with my purchase and will buy other bags if this sellerHas them. Would like more accessories in this pink color , wallet ,smaller purse ect!!! Seller PINK IS EVERYTHING!!!
