Thanks for sharing. What are your thoughts on the overall quality of Cuyana’s leather?
@Somehowadulting Жыл бұрын
I think it's pretty good! The quality of Cuyana's leather is fantastic but I will say I did not own the bag for many years so Im not sure how it will age. But I can tell the construction of the bag for example the stitching is great. Look on Poshmark or eBay for options to test it out if you don't want to commit paying full price just to test it out.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts and experience with lesser known brands. Can I ask you about that beautiful Fleuron mini Swann bag? Have you had any issues with corner wear? I read a review that after 1 month of use the corners wore out quite badly. Thank you for reply.

Hi, glad you stopped by! So I've been using the mini Swann bag avidly since I got it. It has worn beautifully and I have not babied it at all. It got rained on, flung around etc. And it still looks brand new. So far, nothing but good things to say about it. Hope that helps!

I was so interested in Lo&Sons for awhile but I totally forgot about that brand! Cuyana has such beautiful minimalist aesthetics. I recently bought a zipped card holder to see if it would be a good alternative to Chloe Alphabet zipper card holder. The leather was thinner than I thought and they had stuck their thick product tag in one of the card slots and it had already stretched it out. So I just returned it. I was underwhelmed by the quality sadly.

Thanks for sharing! I hope these indie brands are paying attention to our feedback so they can continue to make improvements. That's a great idea actually. If you were to return an item they ask for feedback on why. I do have a Dagne dover card holder that I wasn't able to include in this video. It is nice quality, maybe you can consider that one instead?

What is the definition of an “indie” handbag brand?
@Somehowadulting Жыл бұрын
I would say a brand that started in the past 5-10 years(ish). And independent, does not belong to big luxury like LVMH or Kering. Usually around mid range pricing but not limited to.

My exact same sentiments with the Dagne Dover Simone. Used it once and sold it. Too big, too heavy. I liked the Lo&Sons for a bit but also, too functional and not too attractive

It was a really pretty bag, such a shame. I still look at Lo&Sons from time to time to see if they came out with anything new alas, it's been the same same. Glad to see I'm not the only one who thought the same about these two indie brands. Growing pains lol
