Stunning bags

I ordered 5 different bags of various sizes and I'm thrilled with them. All the bags delivered that pop of colour we all need in our lives. And the company gifted me with a small zippered purse which will be my work wallet for cash and my licence. Thankyou Mochila!
I am giving these bags as retirement gifts for 2 of my work friends, another for my sister's birthday and the smallest one for my daughter, the 30 year olds don't lug around stuff like I used do, and probably still do really, hence I'm keeping the larger one for myself. The thing I love most about Mochila bags after their vibrancy, is the light weight of these bag. Some of my leather bags are so heavy before I even put anything in them!!
These bags are comfortable to wear and the width of the shoulder or crossbody straps is perfect.
People love and do comment on my bag, it doesn't fade into the background.

Hi Anne,
Thank you so much for your glowing review! We are thrilled to hear that you are loving our Mochila bags and that they add a pop of color to your life. We are also happy to hear that you are using them as gifts for your loved ones. We pride ourselves on our lightweight and comfortable bags, and we're glad you appreciate them too. Your kind words make all our hard work worth it. Thank you for choosing Mochila!

Love it

While I really love this bag and can see the great quality I thought from the pics it was black and white but my mistake it's navy & white. Also the size confuses me as it's no where near as big looking at the video, but that aside I really do love it it's roomy enough for an everyday bag and looks great with my usual jeans and t. I will purchase again as there were so many different coloured ones I liked

Hi Chris,
Thank you for leaving such a lovely review! We're glad to hear that you love the quality of our bag. We apologize for any confusion with the color and size - our product photos can be tricky sometimes. But we're happy to know that it still looks great with your everyday outfit. We have a variety of colors to choose from, so we hope you'll consider purchasing from us again. Thank you for your support!

Nice but

The size doesn't seem right. It's quite wide but only about 20cm high. Also I'm sure the 1 I looked at was black and white. The 1 I received is navy and white. Still a nice bag but not quite what I expected
