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.

Love the bag, but
Love the size the style the leather. Problem is the buckle. Very easily twists open. It sticks out kind of far your arm swinging, clothing, whatever catches it next thing I know purses flap is open and sometimes things are falling out. I’ve tried to think of magnets, anything to keep this closed. It’s unfortunate. As a result,I use it in frequently. Would love to figure out a way to use it more because it’s a nice bag otherwise.
