B25: The photos, the process, the experience.

B25 in Togo Leather plus accessories:

This time I wanted to try the popular 25 size. I personally think this size is cute, but I love a size 30 for my 5’7 frame. The handles are smaller, but didn’t bother me much. I can see the hype for a 25. I also wanted to test out some belts and I’m so glad I did. 

Etoupe is such a unique color. It changes based on how the light hits. It sometimes looks cool tone and then warm tone in other lightning. I now understand what people are talking about when they say this about Etoupe.

For starters, please know I am not an expert. I don’t have a bag in my collection to compare this to. Did I LOVE what I received? Yes! The quality on this bag exceeds the quality on bags in my collection from so many different brands.

___________________________________

I purchased this bag via PayPal and had no issues. The experience was fine. This bag was already in production so I got in much quicker vs a custom order. Seller was responsive, but they were in the middle of a national holiday so it slowed down the process with communication a little. They are in a different time zone so that delayed communication from time to time. I sent a follow up message, but that was a helpful nudge.

What I asked for:

Like anyone else, I had my reservations about this. Was it going to be good? How is the heat stamp? I asked A LOT of questions including details on leather, hardware, finishes, etc. Seller showed me pictures and videos of previous work for me to get a better idea on what I could expect. Seller also sent photos for approval which I liked.

B25, Etoupe with Palladium Hardware in Togo leather.

I love the quality of this leather. It just feels expensive, as it should.

This leather is imported and feels durable and great quality. 

Twillys and belts are great. Fabric feels expensive and the leather quality on the belts are perfect. No issues with either. 

There are so many different leathers and colors you can ask for. You want an exotic? They have it! 

Cost: 

Prices will vary based on your particular request, but do note this will be a premium experience. The B25 starts at $1,480 and goes up from there. I’d recommend asking questions while sharing the desired bag style you’re looking for. I paid with PayPal (Goods & Services) and had no issues.

Belts were $130. Twilly was complementary, upon request  which I loved! 

Shipping: 

Once shipped, it took a 12 days, I think it was because of their National holiday. I did not pay any customs or tariffs, but I would ask about this based on where you live. Shipping and packaging were excellent and very secured. The bag arrived great.

Unboxing Experience: 

This was an identical unboxing experience as my previous bags from Andy. Dust bag is high quality. Bag is fitted nicely and secured. It was a luxurious unboxing experience for me with receipts, etc.

Quality: 

I was impressed with what arrived. Finishes are well done especially because these bags are handmade and finished by hand. Hardware is fantastic quality and heavy weight. Leather is imported and top-tier, with a good weight to it. The hand stitching is perfect using the traditional saddle stitching. The attention and execution to the details were all there including the stamps. The photos speak for themselves.

Overall:

I ordered this bag for research purposes and realized there’s more to a bag than just the name. Quality, craftsmanship, and finishings are all the things I look for in a bag. This was an eye-opening and impressive experience.
