LM LEATHER GOODS – Wentworth Purse Tote Nuts & Bolts

This is the “Everyday Bag” – work (fits a laptop) and weekend (lightweight and squishy)! If you’re like me, you need details! It’s not enough to know that it has a pocket, you need to know how wide and tall and where it’s placed and…well, you need to know everything! Here’s ‘everything’….

What I love about this bag:

Lightweight
Floppy
Capacity
Smart Closure – Most closures are too small, but this has a very generous closure. Even with it stuffed to the gills, I can still close it.
Made in America
Generous Pockets – Fits simple wallet and phone easily
Key Fob – Just long enough!
Versatile – Easily work appropriate and casual enough for weekend wear

LM LEATHER GOODS – Wentworth Purse Tote Review

This bag was unequivocally worth the wait! It’s simple, but elegant; right sized, but roomy. It’s your everyday, everything bag. It fits my laptop and its cord so it can be a work bag; it’s not too big so it can be a lunch bag; it’s squishy and lightweight enough that it’s a great weekend purse.

About the maker…

Three (3) generations deep still making their products in Indiana. Originally a guitar strap maker, their selection has expanded to include a modest selection of women’s bags, men’s bags and leather accessories. I have their Field Notes case and the leather on that thing is insane…I actually invent reasons to pull it out and write stuff, weird I know. Tyler, please make a women’s bag (maybe a 10 X 10 size) out of the same leather that your Field Notes is in. That would be amazing!

About Version 2.0…

This bag is one of the more versatile bags I own! I have only one wish and that’s swing the pocket and key fob to the other side of the bag. I realize this means the front of the bag will show the stitching, but I think they can expand the pocket and hide the stitching under the bag handles where they’re affixed to the bag. No biggie though and don’t let this stop you from buying this beauty. I’m just picky about my pockets!

Wentworth Purse Tote, Unboxing

It’s been nearly a year since I last did a review for LM Leather Goods (Vendue classic clutch, anyone?) and it’s been even longer that I’ve been coveting the Wentworth Purse Tote! The size and style of this tote just spoke to me. Most bags that can house my laptop for work are just way too big for me to want to tote around on the weekend so I end up downsizing. This bag is unique in that it can do double duty – big enough for my laptop, but not so big that I need to switch it out for weekend carry. Plus, it’s just formal enough for office days, but not so stuffy that I won’t tote it around on weekends. Anyways, it’s here and it’s gorgeous and this (not so) little beauty was well worth the wait. I see why it sells out and out and sells out and sells out…

I’ve been a nerd this weekend and periodically cruise around the house with this on…and empty. Yup, I just like the feel of it. The leather is soft and it just feels comfortable. My husband caught me wearing it empty, in the house and looking in the mirror. Whatever, he doesn’t get it. Strange to some, totally normal to me. I mean, hey, if you like it, why not wear it? It can also go crossbody, not super cross body (remember I’m only 5’2″), but sort of cross body the way I wore the Col Littleton No. 25 Drifter crossbody. I also put my laptop in there and it works great. I don’t even need a sleeve when it’s in there. Ah, the merits of this bag. Plus, you can feel great about supporting American made – – not just American made today, but three (3) generations deep American made. That’s commitment.

Stay tuned for my full review! I’ll take detailed bag measurements and show you what fits.

LM Products Vendue Classic Clutch – Unboxing & First Impressions!

Aaah, my first unboxing! I’ve officially turned the corner into full blown YouTube reviewer. It was kind of fun, actually to share my first impressions with you. I started my purse obsession first with first just being attracted to quality product that wasn’t mass produced and now I’ve really started to care about how the product is made. On that note, this little beauty comes from a family that is three generations deep, still making quality leather products in America. I enjoy the product more when I know how and where it was made. I digress…this is unboxing, after all!

First impressions – I’m loving that it comes almost with this patina on it already, no breaking in necessary. The main front and back sections have a smooth leather to it that looks almost aged. The areas where it is folded reveal a lighter shade in the crease and it just gives the bag this depth instead of being a one dimensional single shade all over.

The size is the perfect slim profile – – I wanted something to slip into my larger work bag that I could take out to lunch, coffee, etc. and leave my giant tote behind. This does the trick and it could certainly stand alone as a more dressed up clutch without the strap. It comes with four (4!) different carry options, more on this later when I do my full review. The strap also has a very unique feature that I’ve not see elsewhere. I’ll be taking her out on her maiden voyage tomorrow and will get back to you next week with my full review. Stay tuned!
