Curve Bag

I have purchased items from Stow for quite a few years. I had my eye on this bag for literally years (since it was launched) but always thought it needed a shoulder length strap (I am just over 5’). Then lucky me the lovely Stow people made one and it came free for a short time. I kept looking at it and thinking should I?? So after a stressful time with lots going on, my husband treated me, thank you hubby.
It really is a beautiful bag, the smell of the leather, the leather itself and the colour, it did not disappoint. It is light and the colour is stunning. You can fit lots in (I’ve put a bag organiser in for all the bits I carry).
The only thing I kind of wish it had was an inside pocket but then I think that would change the shape of the bag and its beautiful simplicity, so no issue and it doesn’t affect my opinion as I put a bag organiser in.
You can change the shape of the bag which I love with the clip at the top and it gives it more security.
Am I happy - absolutely.
Was it worth swooning over for ages- absolutely.
It is a beautifully made bag - absolutely.
Do I love using it - absolutely.
It’s a beautiful bag.

Absolutely love it, gorgeous bag, beautiful leather! The color, while equally beautiful, is lighter and less of a rust color than what it is on the website. This threw me a bit initially, but I confirmed with customer service that I indeed had the correct color.

If I had to pick one improvement, and this really is the tiniest little quibble, it would be the ability to truly wear it as a shorter shoulder bag, like the Maxi Curve. The reason being, I’m short (5’ 2”), and when wearing it on my shoulder, even with the strap adjusted to the shortest length, it still hangs too low for a shoulder bag, at least for me, but that may just be a personal preference. Although, I believe I read somewhere that a shoulder bag should sit between the mid-torso and the top of hip, and a bag does usually look best at this level. However, this bag hangs lower than that and looks a little awkward to me. With that said, I purchased this bag with the intention of carrying it in my hand or on my arm using the smaller strap, so this is not a complaint or a problem for me, just more of a heads up to my fellow petite folks who may want to wear it as a shoulder bag.

While I very likely will not wear it this way, I can fit the bag on my shoulder using the shorter strap, and by ‘fit’, I mean the bag is right under my arm, no drop…so….not ideal, and wearing it this way will probably only work in the summer when I don’t have on a jacket or a coat. I don’t think the shorter strap is meant to be used as a shoulder strap (it is a fairly short strap), but it seems somewhat doable for me, at least without a jacket on.

Love it!

Overall the bag is amazing. I customize for initial and the initial was inside the small pouch not exterior of the bag nor on the strap. I wish they had customized on the strap. I used twice and bit big for my height.

The good: First of all, I love this bag. The earth tan colour is lighter in person than in the website photos - which works for me, it's more neutral than orange. The craftsmanship is top notch, and hardware feels premium.

The okay: I wish there was a pocket on the interior that fit a few small item, e.g., phone and lip balm. The magnetic closure can be a bit finicky, but definitely not a deal breaker and something I got used to quickly.

Overall, I'm pleased with this bag, it's the perfect size for daily carry and is comfortable. Would purchase again if I had a re-do. :)

Dear Sirs,
I have received my bag last week and I have used it already. The material and crafmanship is very good and I am very pleased.
For my using perpose is the bag on the top, to open the bag and the handle acutally to small. I would recommend to think about, that you offer a bag with the same shape but a little different size. the opening of the bag is for the high in my opinion to small and you find nothing inside the bag.
For my purpose, the bag will not be my first choice for future daily accompanying bag to my buiness case.
It would be great if you design a bag which is a little wider and no so deep. :-) but as mentioned already it is a great bag on craftmanship and leather.
Kind regards,
M
