Hand Maid bag review for needsfashionadvice. :)
Permalink Closed

I got this bag yesterday.

The leather is a true black IRL. It's not soft leather that you want to stroke all the time, but the leather does feel very sturdy and looks like it can withstand a lot. 


There are a number of compartments inside the bag, as well as a zippered one on each side. I love compartments and organizing. I am planning to use this as a carry on when I travel to Atlanta next week.


The chain strap is fully detachable.


I think the only major design flaw in this bag is that there are no 'feet' at the bottom. It makes me nervous putting all that leather on any random floor or something. The other complaint is that the turn lock on the front feels a bit less sturdy than I would like it to be.


For $205, it's a really great bag though. It's one of the only black bags under $1k that I've been interested it.


Here's a pic of me carrying it. I think it looks better carried by hand rather than on the chain strap. I'm 5'3" and a size 4/6.

Thanks so much for the review, I want it so bad now that I know the chain is detachable!  I like the chain on there, I just wouldn't always want it. 


The only thing holding me back from ordering is wondering if they're going to do the 70% off sale later on in the season...


Thanks again!  I love the bag on you.

I got the bag in purple and LOVE it. I was happily surprised when I opened it up and the purple was actually a very very dark and rich color purpe. THe web site made it look fairly light and washed out - but it's an awesome dark purple/plum color.

The bag looks great.  Is handmaid still doing the 50% off or did I miss out on that?

Can you put it over your shoulder?  I really like this bag and it's a great price but the straps worry me.

Oooh, I would love to see some IRL pics if you get the chance!


And on lilykind it looks like the handles don't fit on the shoulder. Is this true?

It doesn't fit over the shoulder.


D, mine arrived so quickly because it was coming from Tustin, CA to Los Angeles. I'm sure yours will be here very soon.
