Mini K with John: Made To Order Experience

Made to Order Mini K with Epsom Leather:

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 wanted to see what the hype was around the Mini. It can’t hold much, but it can hold enough. No phone, but all my basic needs fit right in. I reached out to John on WhatsApp and the process was smooth.

I made a purchase via PayPal and had no issues. The experience was perfectly fine. I gave John inspiration photos on what I wanted. He then showed me options of leathers that were available in the color family I asked for.

What I asked for:

I wanted a Fall bag in a burgundy or navy color. There are so many different leathers and colors you can ask for. John sent me swatches, photos of previously made bags, and a list of colors I could research. I asked a lot of questions and he responded quickly, which I appreciated. Just remember about the time difference based on where you are in the world. 

He also showed me bags currently in production, but in the end I went with a Made To Order bag. I appreciated that John sent me progress photos on my bag because I asked. It made the entire experience so much better.

Mini K, Rouge with Palladium Hardware in Epsom leather.

I love the quality of this leather. It’s made beautifully.

This leather is imported and feels durable and great quality. 

Cost: 

Prices will vary based on your particular request, but do note this will be a premium experience. The Mini starts at $900 and goes up from there. My bag cost $900. 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.

Timeframe and Shipping: 

A made to order bag can take 25-30 days. If you buy a bag currently in stock or in production, it can be ready to ship as early as 7 days. Once shipped, it took a 14 days to get to me. 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.
