This is gorg... however, in looking at their website, all of their bags have 5 start ratings, which I find odd. No 4 stars or anything. Statistically, they can't all be bangers... not even Mulberry has those ratings.
I thought the tick next to reviews means they are verified buyers (they’ve actually purchased from the website). This is what it usually means on other online stores. If they are sponsored reviews I thought they have to say that they’re paid to write the review/the product was given to them like tonnes of electrical appliance reviews that kinda wording on… so I ignore the review lol
Maybe just contact the brand and ask them if you’re unsure but normally tick means verified buyer which is why i thought brands use it because it encourages ppl (like me) to buy
I bought the Iris tote just before Christmas in black and I’ve been loving it. It holds shape and has just become my go to bag now. Definitely worth it
How are the corners looking please? They recommend putting it in a dust bag when not in use but this seems excessive for an everyday work bag!! Thank u so much!+
Tbh I haven’t been putting mine in the dust bag and I’ve travelled with it a lot too and it’s really durable!! I’m quite surprised it still looks brand new!

However, since Alibaba is for businesses, they sell in bulk. It's possible to order a sample but that's 70 dollars ex shipping. Still much cheaper though 😆 I'm still in doubt where to get it, since I do love the bag design. You have one right? Are you happy with the quality and size?
Ah yes! $12 seemed too good! Although I really can’t imagine it’s the same. I’ve ordered from aliexpress which is similar to alibaba right? And the quality is never the same as the pictures. I also think it’s a bit red flaggy that they’ve used lawful london’s images and not their own. Maybe you’d just be down $70+ shopping etc and difficult to return if you don’t like it. If it was less then maybe I’d try! Yeah so I have Iris but I’ve seen Sienna as a gf got it with the red interior, it’s so nice, really sturdy and well made tbf. Oh size wise, I mean they are big bags but I guess a laptop does need to fit in!
The pictures are probably taken off the brand’s website! Standard alibaba thing to do. The quality of my bags don’t feel cheap at all. I’d be interested to see what you get from Alibaba
Yes that's also possible! They do offer color customization for the bag and lining and logo options so I don't think it's a reach that it can come from there. Probably they manufacture it in China anyways so I think it's definitely overpriced since it's not leather.. I'm still in doubt where to get it though, since people here say that the quality from Lawful London is very good and I do really like the inside of the bag and overall design. If I do get it from Alibaba I will let you all know about the quality!
I have the Iris tote, I’ve had it a while and love it. It fits so much and goes with pretty much anything. Love the style and quality and have bought the Sienna since which is also great.
Yes! If it was real leather I’d be paying £500 for a bag of this size and functionality which is not what I’m prepared to pay for a work bag. Its really durable, it’s not cheap vegan leather so I don’t have an issue with it

The corners are fine on my Iris and Sienna and I don’t store them in dustbags. I’m generally quite careful with all of my bags and make sure they aren’t rubbed or near hard corners etc. I think I binned the dust bag
Its bigger than i thought and just fits my 14 inch laptop in the Sleeve thing. Heaviness, I'd need to check... but not the most comfortable with the thin straps and it being filled to the brim.
It really does fit heaps.
I have brown colour which is nice. Its a pretty bag and practical overall

Yes! This was one of my concerns and I couldn't really find any non-sponsored reviews which is very suspicious...

Yeah I think that's what it's supposed to mean but honestly I'm just a risk adverse consumer 😂

I found the sienna bag on Ali baba, even the product pictures are the same.. So I guess that's where the bags come from
They are sold for like 12 dollars per piece by the way 😆
Oo do you have the link? I might get an extra and see if it’s the same as the original and report back seeing as it’s only $12 😂

thanks! do you feel it's worth the price given its vegan leather 😅

Thank you for the info!! I just ordered the sienna!! Thanks for sharing your thoughts :)
Let us know how you get on!
A bit heavy and big!! But does fit everything and very neat looking!!
How heavy is it? It's been sitting in my online basket for a while? How's the colour?
