Same to you :)</p> <p>Thanks Sarah :D</p> <p>Frogmella: I haven't bought from them, but from their Facebook page I can see that they have a LOT of pending orders and unhappy customers. Their satchels are supposed to be fabulous though. I like Scaramanga as they are cheaper and they ship within 2 business days.</p> <p>Astrid: The prices are what drew me in first! I love it when quality items are affordable.</p> <p>Una: I do it only because I've bought 100s of crappy things in the past. I have just started to understand the importance of a few, quality pieces! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bought-my-satchel#post-538588 Sat, 11 Feb 2012 19:54:34 +0000 catgirl 538588@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oooh, beautiful!

They look great, but I don't have any experience with them. Anyone know anything regarding reputation/quality/durability? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bought-my-satchel#post-538579 Sat, 11 Feb 2012 19:41:58 +0000 Sarah A 538579@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>looks super great! i am totally excited to see how you will use it, a great leather bag is on my "wants" list for sure! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bought-my-satchel#post-538576 Sat, 11 Feb 2012 19:39:53 +0000 DonnaF 538576@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gorgeous!

I have narrow shoulders so most handbags tend to slide off and sporty backpacks don't fit into my style so I'm hoping this bag is IT. :D</p> <p>Thanks Shannon :)</p> <p>Mander: And just when I had been thinking of a satchel too! This is fate </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bought-my-satchel#post-538441 Sat, 11 Feb 2012 16:18:26 +0000 Mander 538441@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooo, I like it! I had never heard of that brand before the other week -- I found them in a random Google image search (something like "large vintage satchel"). But I'll definitely be keeping them in mind in the future! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bought-my-satchel#post-538382 Sat, 11 Feb 2012 15:25:31 +0000 Transcona Shannon 538382@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That is absolutely gorgeous Kirti - so classic and will last for years.

I'm so excited for it to get here!!! :D</p> <p>Claire: Yep, that's why I love it.

That looks like the most beautiful finish on the leather. What a classic style, like some of the bags I saw in Parisian Chic. Magnifique! I can't wait for you to receive your Valentine's Day present. I think it's MUCH more romantic than jewlelry, lol! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bought-my-satchel#post-538349 Sat, 11 Feb 2012 13:44:44 +0000 ManidipaM 538349@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gorgeous! And what a thoughtful gent you live with </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bought-my-satchel#post-538347 Sat, 11 Feb 2012 13:42:51 +0000 dottie 538347@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, the style and colour - *gorgeous*!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bought-my-satchel#post-538346 Sat, 11 Feb 2012 13:37:59 +0000 Kirti 538346@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So after a lot of deliberation, I finally ordered my satchel from Scaramanga. Well, hubby did - as a Valentine's Day present. :)</p> <p>It's the Small satchel with a front pocket (13'') - <a href="http://www.scaramangashop.co.uk/fashion/leather-bags/for-her/leather-satchel-bags/small-wide-leather-satchel-with-front-pocket-13-inch/prod_1013.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.scaramangashop.co.u....._1013.html</a></p> <p>I decided on this size, because I tried on a 15'' satchel in the mall today and it was definitely too big for my 5'4'' self. It also cost €300, which made me realise what a good deal the Scaramanga satchels are I also don't carry a laptop, just a small notebook and some papers for which this should be fine. </p> <p>Thanks Mander for linking to Scaramanga in a post! And thanks to all of you who gave me advice on which style, size and finish to get! I ended up choosing the 'Tan polished' finish, which will definitely be more versatile than a distressed finish. </p> <p>Now I'm just waiting for it to get here!!! </p>
