Details

Easy and elegant, The Medium Shopper is a vegan bag that can be worn as a shoulder bag or a crossbody‚ just pull on the adjustable straps to elongate them. It’s lightweight, durable and secure thanks to invisible magnetic closure. There are two open pockets inside plus another with a zipper. Signature details include our knotted cording and "V" graphic.

The Medium Shopper is created from Technik, a premium and remarkably supple material made from plants and recycled water bottles. The liner feels like suede, but it’s actually a soft microfiber also created from plastic water bottles.

It’s made by master artisans in Italy.

Design Flaws

Cons: On the surface, it's a beautiful bag. When you start living with it, you see its design flaws. If you are petite (I'm 5'3"), the crossbody option is too long, even after adjusting the strap. Also, after converting it to a crossbody, the excess strap can't be tamed. When carrying it as a tote, if you slip 1 strap off your shoulder to get something from inside, the strap slips through the passthrough on the inside with no effort, and it glides itself into crossbody, which is very annoying. Then I have to fumble with the straps to get them even again. When carrying items on the inside (wallet, small cosmetic bag, phone), I find that the bag just gaps opens, exposing all contents. It needs a hook to keep it closed, or better yet, turn it into a zippered bag. It needs a better closing mechanism for sure. Overall, I'm disappointed that is wasn't a more thoughtful, practical design. I like a beautiful bag, but it needs function well. Pros: Love the vegan leather and Italian craftsmanship. So far, very durable. No scratches, edge painting is well intact.

Elegant and functional

I love how light this bag is. It also gets noticed a lot. Many people have asked what the brand was.

Amazing

I love this bag. Get tons of compliments on it. I am able to carry my laptop in it and use it for work, and the color goes with everything. I love how the vegan leather ripples in certain positions, it feels and looks very luxe. And depending on how you want it, it can be straight and structured or more relaxed by adjusting the front rope. The strap issue others have commented on (i.e. if you have it in the 2 handle position, then let go of one strap for a second, the other let's loose and makes the primary strap long causing the bag to fall) but I still love the look and feel of it. I can definitely see myself purchasing another bag and would love to see more styles.

Awesome daily light weight bag

It’s super light weight and very high quality bag. Since few months I am using daily and no scratch. Easy to clean, just wipe off. I would buy cross body bag as well. Happy with my purchase.
