Review: BagInc ~ So Soho Reissue Leather Satchel Cream

If you're not familiar already, BagInc is a website that sells designer inspired bags with fine quality for a fraction of the price of actual designer bags. I first heard of this from a few YouTubers that I'm subscribed to. Feeling intrigued by a number of reviews, I explored the website shortly to find many bags that caught my eye. I am just slowly building my handbag collection, but I'm not too crazy about bags. I wanted one nice bag that I could use regularly. Watch me say this now and then contradict myself in the future, LOL.

This bag is made of real leather, and the hardware is lovely. The main concern I have for this bag is how heavy it is (its about 2.3lbs or 1.05kg).

Indeed a beautiful satchel inspired by the Mulberry Alexa. 

If you like the Mulberry Alexa, this inspired version could be an "inexpensive" alternative. There are so many other brands that have adopted this style of satchel, so it is forgiving for you to carry this and not feel like you bought just a knock-off.

We all can agree that the bag is perfect, but now I will address a few things about BagInc. 

The company ships their bags from China, so that means shipping time could take a little longer (or faster) depending on where you live. But that wouldn't be a problem, especially when you're provided a tracking number, and should the bag get lost during delivery, the company has a policy claiming they will reship you a new one. What if your concern isn't about shipping time, but processing? That was my personal problem that I had to deal with BagInc. 

I expected this bag to arrive in a month, and that's just how long I expected on all products I order outside of my country. I'm not sure what problems they were having, but they took about 15 business days to ship out my bag. On their FAQ page, it says "Most Standard shipments will be received within 5 to 7 days after the order has been placed with faster delivery times when Expedited shipping has been chosen." I contacted them a number of times to try to find out why it was taking them so long to ship out my order. I just felt it was a little inappropriate to not give reasoning for the delay. When they were able to ship my order, I received it within 4 business days, so I was impressed.
