Bed Stu
Founded in L.A. in 1995 but inspired by the Brooklyn streets, Bed Stu handcrafts shoes and boots for women and men. The brand uses traditional shoemaking techniques like hand-weaving and hand-sewing, as well as natural leathers (from free-range animals when possible) and a vegetable-based tanning process, so each shoe is unique and imperfect but always genuine.

I have been looking for a backpack that was the right size to use as a purse and i finally found it!
This bag is the perfect size for daily use and has great pockets for easy access to the items I use most.
And if these featires werent enough to make this bag perfect, the blue color is outstanding!!!so unique and my new perfect neutral!

The straps were too wide
The straps were too wide for me. They were digging under my arms. I returned it and just ordered the Stevie with a wallet! Excited to get them!

Versatile and beautiful!
Fabulous everyday bag! Holds everything I need for a day out shopping or work. Love the backpack style that allows for function while also being so beautiful! This is my 3rd BedStu bag and I've got my eye on several others.
