Genuine Leather Shoulder Bag Martina

I love my Catwalk items! I am never disappointed! I have a large work bag, which is how I started out with Catwalk and 8 years later it still looks in great shape and is still my go to bag. Since then, I have purchased more items from catwalk this handbag included. I love it! Great quality, lots of space and sections and the perfect size for a day of shopping! Not too small or too big. I love this red! I also have the navy blue wallet and a small red coin / card purse - all of which are great! The items come well packaged and are just wonderful. I would love many more Catwalks if I could!

Lovely bag lots of pockets only downside is it's quite heavy

I'm giving 4 stars to this product in reference to the sale price I paid, which was £60. If I had paid full price on this bag, this would be a 3 star review. There are some great pluses with the bag. It's real leather. The hardware seems to be of decent quality. I absolutely love the style, and the charm is a cute bonus. It's a good size, so it can hold all of my bits and bobs, and I could also add a lightweight jumper if need be. It's a good size. You can also unbuckle the sides to expand the side width if you need to. I would say it's the larger end of average size, if that makes any sense. It does fully zip shut. That being said, the construction is not the greatest. Not much attention to detail I'm afraid. The stitching isn't straight in many areas. The trim isn't always cut straight (I got the white one, so the black trimming is very obvious along the edges of the cut leather bits). The handles are particularly unevenly trimmed, and the spot where they connect to the main bag (they are stitched around a ring) looks particularly poorly constructed. I also suspect that this is the type of leather that will begin to peel, but the bag is still brand new, so I don't know for sure. There were some minor surprises when I received it. My seller was the real handbag shop, fyi. As previously mentioned, I got the white one, so I was expecting black/white striped lining like the photos. It wasn't, mine is a light pink lining. There were a few minor black smudges that I could rub of with my fingers, and a couple that I scratched off with my nails. None of these things really bother me much to be honest. One thing that does sort of bug me is that area where the handles connect has been scuffed up a little bit and the leather has been scuffed off in two small areas. These are minor spots, and they are on the inside of the handles, so I guess nobody will be looking at those areas anyway. Overall, I'd say this was well worth the £60 I paid for it. If I had paid £85, I would be asking the seller for a discount for the scuffed inner handles and lining, but since it was already discounted, I don't mind that so much. The style, the smell of real leather, and the hardware details make up for a lot of those things. I'm also fond of the multiple pockets and center zip divider inside, which will make it easy to find things. I am happy with the bag overall and I look forward to wearing it around town. .

This one of my many so far catwalk bags and once again I'm quite impressed. From the catwalk silver logo to the roomy inside and lining with the cat logo. The leather looks and feels good and the handles are long enough to carry comfortable over the shoulder. The colour it's exactly as it was in the pictures (although I've always thought that tan is a bit darker, still it does look great). It also came well packaged in its own black dustbag too. Once again an excellent product from the catwalk collection. Highly recommended for its price and quality.

I wasn't entirely sure I liked this when it arrived but I needed a new bag and I'd spent a very long time looking so I decided to load up all my junk and see if it all fitted. It's always a balancing act finding a bag large enough to hold the necessities of life without ending up with a veritable suitcase so I was very pleased to find that there was plenty of room inside for all my junk and that I didn't have to unload everything to access it. It is a little on the heavy side when empty, which I found slightly concerning, but a bag sturdy enough to go the distance probably won't be lightweight. So far that hasn't proved to be an issue when fully loaded. The inside configuration is pretty similar to my last bag, which I specifically looked for. This is a little different in that it's a bit longer and not quite as tall but so far I'm pleased with it. It feels sturdy and I really love the black coffee colour. I've had four or five Catwalk bags and for the most part I tend not to use the charms as I find the constant jangling noise irritating, however, on this occasion, I liked the gunmetal colour so I managed to adapt it to use just the cat on a shorter chain which actually looks really nice (and gets rid of the noise). I've only been using it for a couple of days, so if it falls to pieces in the next couple of months I'll edit my review to say so, but so far I'm really very pleased. Not only is there plenty of room for all my toot, I can also fit my Kindle - which is something my last two or three bags have not been able to do. Oh yes - it arrived the next day and it was very well wrapped. Not entirely sure I'm happy with the fact that it came in the original clear plastic bag with just a postage label stuck on it. I understand that this apparently is a "thing" now as I've seen other people commenting on it and I'm sure it saves the seller a few bucks but I'm not that sure I want all and sundry to see what I'm spending my money on, however, that's probably just me and I expect, if it is a problem, there'll probably be a box to tick or something to prevent this. Overall I'm very pleased with the bag. I like Catwalk bags and The Original Handbag Company; I've always had very good service from them and, as I said, I now have several of their bags so obviously I'd recommend them. UPDATE - 07 December 2022 - I've had this bag for two months and have been using it as my every day bag. I'm still pleased with the size and layout - which is why I bought it - but I'm extremely disappointed to note that the finish of the leather has not worn well and the bag is now badly scuffed at the bottom corners. As I said above this is not my first Catwalk bag but this is the first time I've had this happen. It seems the quality is no longer what it used to be although I do note that the price of this bag has dropped by about a third since I bought it. If you're buying it now you might consider that to be fair value. I do not, however, as I paid a much higher price and am therefore deducting two stars as it looks highly likely as though I'll need to replace this fairly shortly and I do not consider two months use to be good value. No longer recommended.

Smells just like real leather should, lovely ! Very well made quality, designed handbag. Beautifully lined and lots of pockets where needed. The thing I like about this bag is the size, not too big or too small, just right! Can fit lots in but in an organised way. All stitching finished off well. Charms added bonus, I love the cat ! Great price for such excellent quality. Would highly recommend.

Excellent quality. It is made of real genuine leather. Comfortable design. The length of the handles is perfectly chosen. There is enough space in it. Deep color exactly like in the picture. The bag is worth the money.

I didn't expect marvelous quality - after all, it only costs £60.00. The leather is quite nice, though as another commented - the attention to detail regards fit and stitching could be better. But it only costs £60.00, and frankly, it's as I expected, and therefore acceptable. I like its capaciousness, and I like the studs fitted to the underneath of the bag which will prevent wear when you put it on the floor. I would have loved a colourful lining fabric to the interior, as it makes finding dark coloured items a little easier - plus - it's girlier. The charms are fun.
