Questions, answered
Does it really open?
It does. The top lifts back on a hinge, held by a metal clasp plate on the middle spine, and the inside is printed like a bookshelf.
What actually fits inside?
A purse, a phone, glasses, keys, a small water bottle, a little make-up — and a paperback in each end pocket. It is a going-out bag rather than a work bag.
Can I wear it across the body?
Yes. There is a short rolled handle across the top for carrying it by hand, and a detachable strap that clips to the leather tabs at either end.
Who makes it?
Vendula London. Their name is on the clasp plate and the book titles on the spines are their invention. We choose it and sell it; we did not design it.
Is it a good gift?
Most of these leave as gifts. It is the sort of thing a reader would never buy for herself and would be quietly delighted to be given.
What if I change my mind?
Write to us within thirty days of it arriving and we will sort it out. Unused and in its original packaging is all we ask.
