Floto Bag Review
Permalink Closed

After being backordered, finally being shipped from Italy, being help up in customs, shipped through UPS and being held hostage by my apartment complex I FINALLY have my Floto Venezia Duffle. and as promised, here is my review!


 


So I ripped open the box that it came in and... in the words of that fabulously tanned, if not slightly tangerine Michael Kors...I was a little underwhelmed. The leather is a little shiny for my taste (but not like cheap suit shiny), and it's not as thick as I would like it to be. BUT, the bag is growing on me. After I filled it with clothes and sat and stared at it for a little bit, I think I actually like it. I think that after I use it for a while and rough it up a little bit I will like it much better. Also, it holds a ton of stuff. I just started throwing stuff in and so far I've got 2 pairs of sweatpants, 2 sweatshirts, 2 pairs of jeans, 2 t-shirts and 2 polo pullovers, and there's still room left! Plus the inside is super cute, and it's cotton lining to keep everything fresh...at least that's what the promo says... anyway here are the pics!

Hope This Helps!

That looks nice!  That would be better than carrying around my nylon duffles when I go on my trips.

It is a really nice looking bag.  I would love to carry such a chic bag for trips, but I can't stand the weight, so I always use a roll-on. 


Is it terribly heavy?

Packed with all the stuff I put in it, it weighs 12lbs. It's got a nice shoulder strap that doesn't cut into your shoulder..so it's not to bad!

Wow, 12# is nothing.  The bag itself must be really lightweight.  Nice job.  Now you have me considering this style.

It's beautiful!!!  I really think the leather will break in though.  And when it does, it'll be even more gorgeous.  It looks so sophisticated, but understanded at the same time.  Nice purchase!

i love it.  i also love that you took pictures of it in various places around your apartment/house, not just in one place.  i can just see you moving it around looking at it trying to decide if you like it or not.
