WANDLER HORTENSIA BAG REVIEW | Pros and Cons

[@Its29Me1]

Thank you so much for this review!! I’ve been interested in this bag and this review helped me.

[@AdelineLoke]

You’re welcome Gloria! Hope you get it in the end 😉

[@kristinsorensen346]

This review was quite helpful, thank you for sharing your experience with this bag. I would like to know whether the leather scuffs or gets scratched easily. Because, as you noted, the leather is thin (and also very smooth), I'm concerned that if I get the black version, it might show scratches easily and/or lose its lustre even when handled with care. Since you didn't mention this as a "con", I'm hoping it's been fairly resistant. If that's the case, did you treat it with any specific type of leather protector prior to first use? Loved your bloopers/outtakes as well lol!

[@AdelineLoke]

Hello Kristin, thank you for your comment, I'm glad this video was helpful to you! I have not treated the leather with anything, nor have I seen any scratches or scuffs on it. That being said, I am quite careful with it when out and about. I also don't use it as an everyday bag - so it's not on frequent rotation for me. I also haven't seen it lose shape, but I am also quite careful not to overstuff it with items. I think that it has held up very well for how much I have used it... I'd go so far as to say it still looks new 🙂 Let me know if you have any more questions!

First video and you are a Pro! Congratulations! ❤️

[@AdelineLoke]

Thank you! I’m trying 😊

[@daphnexenakis579]

Would never have guessed this was your first video! Amazing! xx

[@AdelineLoke]

Thank you Daphne! If you could have seen the behind the scenes, you’d know 🙊🙊🙊

[@crab3696]

I would like you to do an update video to this to see what actually fits in this bag since its such an odd shape.

[@Kencom212]

Great review for your first video!!! Congratulations

[@AdelineLoke]

Thank you! 😅

[@kimberlyperrotis8962]

Those “flaps” are called slip pockets. A very pretty bag. My only issue, is I wouldn’t want the lightest color leather on the closure flap, that’s the part that gets dirty fastest. I seen this one other multi-color bags, even in suede sometimes, probably designed by a man.

[@diYchante]

I really enjoyed your video, very straightforward exactly what we need. Thank you!

[@AdelineLoke]

I'm glad I could be helpful to you! Thank you for watching :)

Thank you for the review!! What size Hortensia is this ❤️😊?!

[@AdelineLoke]

You are so welcome! This is the size medium ♥️

[@TussahSilk]

Thanks for this review. Very good points.

You’re welcome 💕

Thank you for this wonderful review!i love your rib tank; where is it from?

[@AdelineLoke]

You are most welcome! Thank you for watching. It’s from Mango x

[@blake1001x]

Hello again. Can you please do a wear and tear video for this Hortensia bag? Would really love how it held up after almost a year from when you purchased it. Would also be great to show us what fits and more mod shots. Great vid :)

[@AdelineLoke]

Heya, I’ve used this bag in my other videos so you can see how it looks on with other outfits 😊 As for wear and tear, I haven’t used it that much due to being in lockdown. However I can say that mine still looks brand new. Xx

[@blake1001x]

@@AdelineLoke any update on how the bag is holding on? :)

[@AdelineLoke]

[@isokamwanakweli6842]

Great video. There is not that many reviews on this bag. I was hoping you would go over what you can put in the bag. Can a 14" laptop fit into this bag?

[@AdelineLoke]

That's exactly why I wanted to make this video! I'll keep that in mind next time I do a bag review. Definitely can't fit a laptop into this bag. This is the size medium, so more of a casual day size rather than a work bag.

[@alana8337]

Thank you for your review, I’ve been thinking about getting it in cherry red! Btw, I love your olive green top. May I ask where you got it from?

[@AdelineLoke]

Thanks for watching, I hope this helped you. Let me know if you get it! The top is old from Mango xx

[@alana8337]

@@AdelineLoke Thanks to your review I bought it and love it. The cherry caviar color with the saffiano leather is so pretty. Keep up the great videos! ☺️

[@AdelineLoke]

@@alana8337 Love this!! I'm so happy you're happy with your bag!

[@blake1001x]

Thanks for the thorough review. Planning to buy in medium light blue

[@AdelineLoke]

Yay! Hope you love it 😍

[@MyOpinion4MySelf]

Hi there. Thanks for the review of the bag. I am wanted to purchase the burgundy in Medium and Black in Large. It would be quite an investment but as I intend to have a more minimalist and sleek style, this bag looks like exactly what I am looking for. I no longer go for my other bags which have some extra details on them. With that being said, Do you really think this bag worth the price??? 😊

[@AdelineLoke]

I think that in terms of how well it’s made and just how chic and unique the bag is, it’s worth it. Obviously you also have to factor in how much you’ll actually use it! But you know what, I always see them go on sale. Maybe not in the colour ways that you mentioned but if you are willing to wait for sales, you could get a really good deal. X

[@sialee5926]

Hi - none of these bags are on Matches. Is this an Australian company? I was thinking of getting the mini

[@AdelineLoke]

I believe the brand is based in Europe. They don't seem to be on Matches anymore. Try Farfetch - bit.ly/3Z0j2rw

[@sialee5926]

You’re doing an excellent job👌How much was this? Is the site you purchased from sell brand new bags? Do they come with an authenticity card? Yes, they need to add a few extra links to the shoulder strap.

[@AdelineLoke]

Thank you! I got this bag half price in the Matches sale last summer. So whilst they are pretty expensive for a new brand, I think you can get a god sale if you are not looking for a 'classic' colour' such as black. No authenticity card, and comes in a dustbag. x

[@sialee5926]

Adeline Loke ty! It’s brand new right?

[@AdelineLoke]

Sorry I missed you reply. Yes I bought it new ☺️

[@kimberlyperrotis8962]

You might want to get a handbag hook, so that when you’re out, you can hang your nice bags from a table, desk, etc. Having to put them on the floor gets them scratched. Amazon has some, but get a super-lightweight one, some add too much weight to one’s bag, and we all have enough already in them.

[@AdelineLoke]

A bag hook is a great idea - thanks for the tip xx

[@AimeeMarsh-m5y]

I’d like this bag as well

[@CapriThermilus]

I love this bag but they don’t have any multi colored handbags on their site.

[@AdelineLoke]

I think it might have been a seasonal colour that year 😞

[@kimberlyperrotis8962]

I have damaged bags by putting something bumpy in them, like keys, the leather finish wears off at any protrusion. Being lightweight is super important to me though, I am selling one because it weighs a ton, empty. I wouldn’t buy it because that strap wouldn’t go over my shoulder, I’m a lot fleshier than you, and I don’t like large cross-body bags. Sometimes brands can be responsive, the Curated added extra length to a similar strap when customers complained about the same problem. I can’t tell if it’s worth it because you didn’t give its price.

[@AdelineLoke]

You're totally right - I was so nervous filming my first video that I totally forgot to mention the price. I'll add it to the description box xx

[@JennieStierwalt]

What size is this one?

[@AdelineLoke]

Medium x

[@Ella-ce9pp]

Is it made in Italy?

[@AdelineLoke]

Hello, sorry for my late reply! Yes I believe that they are made in Italy. x

[@Magreetjuh]

does your laptop fit in the bag?

[@AdelineLoke]

No, deffo not big enough for a laptop!

[@sialee5926]

Nothing’s wrong with “welcome back.” This brand is super expensive for a company that’s just a few years old.

[@AdelineLoke]

You're right, nothing wrong with 'welcome back', but this was my first video that I filmed so I don't know why I said it, haha.

[@sialee5926]

Adeline Loke oh..it was..it’s all good! You did an excellent job👍

[@AdelineLoke]

Thank you ♥️

[@ArtemisB.]

Thank you so much for your really useful review.

[@AdelineLoke]

You’re welcome! I hope it helped. Are you going to get the bag? X

[@ArtemisB.]

@@AdelineLoke I was. Then I made the mistake of asking my husband of his opinion 😂 His taste is too conservative and stiff. I might ignore him, as there is a sale going on🥸

[@AdelineLoke]

What does he know 😉 Definitely worth it if it's on sale! Let me know which colour you go for!
