Sorry for the crappy photos, I have no eye for photography.

I am a freak for strange but functional bags like the Schiapar small Souffl3, and when I saw that Kendall 🏭 makes one I had to put an order in. Now first thing's first the hardware is completely clockable and looks different from auth, however I was fully aware from the factory photos and for the price I paid, was completely fine with this. I don't want 1:1 auth, I want a good quality little weirdo on my shoulder.

Price: 227.70USD + Baker's 29USD commission + shipping (price combined with other bags)

Hardware: While not exactly like the auth (different eye, not the same hammered texture), still really fun, and made of a sturdy weighty metal. Definitely won't get scuffed anytime soon. As with the auth most of the segments move except for the last.

Leather: Matte grain leather with a lovely movement and slouch. Lined with a soft suede.

Overall quality: Stitching, finishes, etc are neat. I'm super happy with the quality.

Once I get some use out of it I can post a follow up/ long term use review.

Sorry for the crappy photos, I have no eye for photography (unlike this bag...)

I got this last year so there's definitely plenty of signs of wear on this bad boy, but I'd been coveting this canvas tote bag since it first came out and decided while I was visiting family in Shenzhen to get a rep. It cost me around $140 but I was in a hurry and most probably could have gotten it for less if I took the time to haggle a bit more. It came with a dustbag and tags, and the details are pretty good compared to the auths, but there are tells like the positioning of the lettering on the front pocket is higher (I know it also looks slightly off centre but it was the way the bag was sitting on the bed). The magnetic snaps on the front flap are actually really high quality and have a firm hold, and all the trim is of genuine leather and has not worn out at all despite the crap I put in it. It's slightly too small for a 13-inch laptop but I frequently jam one in anyway lmaoo

Now I was thinking as many TS are based in Shenzhen, and likely have a store in the marketplace that I got this bag, whether people might be interested in a brief guide? China's relaxed its visa requirements for a lot of countries including the UK and Canada, so it's easier than ever to visit (and I am biased but it's totally worth visiting). It's a different experience to online buying via TS, but you get the chance to actually physically inspect the goods before making a decision, and you can haggle.

I got this as a gift from my aunt I think from Shanghai Disney, and to be honest I always thought merch items (even if they're marketed as higher end) mark up the price for the name recognition and are never that great, but I've been so pleasantly surprised at the quality! The leather (real leather!) is buttery soft but still has good structure, and the hardware is really sturdy metal (even though you can see the "gold" is coming off in pic 3). Even the Mickey magnet button is coated metal. The straps are connected by these chunky lobster clasps which I love as someone who loops things through bag straps (like baseball caps and overshirts). I am also a sucker for a crossbody, so this has firmly cemented itself in my daily rotation.

Still a bit stuffy/nasal and I can hear my upper range is thinner but my throat is no longer sore! I've never really shared my singing on social media because I'm scared of singing in front of others but I'm trying to get over that IRL and online. My flair doesn't ask for it, but if you do have feedback do let me know!
