Small Le Foulonne Leather Crossbody Bag

I felt compelled to write this review after seeing the bag in person and deciding it was definitely not for me. I was going to order this online, and I felt confident from the other glowing reviews. However, the bag was available at my local Nordstrom, so I went to see it in person. I would like to note that I would have considered 2 stars if this bag wasn't nearly $400! I judge these items for their price range. That is an expensive bag, especially for something so small. When I first saw it, I couldn't believe how cheap it looked and felt. The leather strap is stiff and feels like bad fake leather. It had been warped from being stuffed in the bag. Because the straps feel like plastic, I doubt the kinks will come out easily. I'm 5.5 in hight and a size 2-4 for reference. This bag sits really low on me, too low. So I tried to adjust the sides to shorten the strap. It was nearly impossible to do; I could only change one side. While I like that it doesn't have a buckle, the strap is so stiff that when adjusted, you get these big circles coming up on the side. I did like how close the bag sits to the body. It seemed perfect and understate in pictures. In person, it looks like a bag that should not cost $395. There are leather, understated bags in that price range that I would pick over this one. I realize this might sound overly critical. If you're buying a bag in the $300-$600 range, I would guess you want a high quality bag, but you don't prioritize saving an extra 600 for a super designer purchase. Or you like a mix of bags for different settings, weather, etc. I get that. But this feels and looks like a bag that didn't have enough thought put into it. It looks like Longchamp is riding on their good reputation before their bags were mass produced in China. I've purchased the Roseau from Longchamp. That's a great bag, and worth the price in my opinion. This is not.
