YOU SAID IT BEST
I love this bag. Such a unique strap design, and really well made. I will say the strap length is difficult to adjust, and I wish there were more pockets, but I’m obsessed and carry the bag every day.
Okay, my initial impression wasn't great and I take that back. I have now gotten used to the zip and it is now my everyday work bag and I have gotten many compliments on this bag! The down side is still the fitting the laptop inside will distort the bag shape, making it poke out and hitting the hip as I walk. It's been 4 months, the quality is still pretty good, hopefully it will last a long while!
Purchased the Reed Woven Bag and it’s absolutely perfect. Quality exceeds the price. Only had it 2 weeks so we will see how it holds up. Shipping to USA was about 1.5 weeks. The suede and leather feel very genuine
Love the Killian Toiletry pouch! High quality material and such a great size! Craftsmanship is top level!
Bag purchased: Marcello Bag: Green
Received the bag today. I really love the design, shape, and color — it’s the perfect laptop bag for me in terms of looks.
Unfortunately, the quality doesn’t match the marketing. The leather feels cheap, almost like PU plastic, and has a slight plastic smell — likely from a thick top coat over a lower-grade split leather or heavily corrected leather. Even though it’s priced on the cheaper side of the mid-range, it’s still expensive for the quality you actually get.
If you only care about looks, this bag delivers. But if quality matters to you, it’s worth paying a bit more for a better product.
Hi, thanks for sharing your feedback, and I’m sorry the Marcello Bag didn’t meet your expectations in terms of the leather feel.
The Marcello Bag is made from second-layer cowhide, as noted on the product details page. This type of leather has a more structured, coated finish, which can feel smoother and firmer compared with softer top-grain leather.
We use different types of leather across our designs depending on the structure, finish, overall look and intended price point of each piece. If you prefer a more natural and supple leather feel, our Reed Woven Bag may be a better fit. It’s made from top-grain Nappa leather and suede, with a softer hand feel and more natural leather texture.
If you have any questions about the materials we use, or would like to discuss exchanging your bag for a top-grain leather style, please feel free to reach out to our support team. We’ll be happy to help.
Hey,
I’m really not the type of person who writes a review for a product. But I really want to express how much I love this bag!! I’m from the States, and I’ve been looking for the perfect lucky bag for work and travel, and I was gonna go with a typical high-end seller like Coach or Jacquemus, as my buddies had. Until I found the Kite bag; this bag is legit the perfect add to any outfit, and the compliments I’ve gotten with this are crazy. Not even just that, but the amount of stuff I can fit in this with my large-ass computer has been even more perfect! I think if you're considering it, give it a shot cause the cost and luxury of the materials are perfect. And it’s even cooler helping out a new team of young creatives.
I wish there are more diverse models modelling the bag. As a petite woman, it turned out to be HUGE on me. I guess that’s more on me for not reading the dimensions carefully.
Great quality otherwise.
Love the design! But I do have some qualms. Firstly, the straps don’t have enough holes; the shortest length is still too long for me to wear the backpack comfortably, so I'm going to need to figure something out. And secondly, I don’t love the zipper; it feels a bit flimsy. The zipper also makes it difficult to fit my 14-inch laptop in, especially when I try to put it in with a laptop sleeve. If I don’t use a sleeve, the zipper in the laptop compartment scratches at my laptop which is pretty annoying.
Stunning design and well constructed.
Only critique is that I’d love to have an extra cm added to the zipper opening so that my 13” laptop could easily be placed inside -it’s a bit of a struggle.
It was a bit of a gamble to buy the mystery box because I was afraid of receiving jewelry I don't like (there were 2 pieces I did not like on the website). I was wrong in the best way possible. All the pieces were beautiful and high quality. I love them all♡
Is it leather?
'Leather' does not look, feel or smell like leather.s
The version of the Kite Bag you purchased is made from second-layer cowhide with a patent-style coating. This gives it a smoother, slightly glossy look, along with better resistance to water and minor scratches. We have stated this in our product details. This type of leather is widely used across many major brands, especially for bags and shoes. It may feel different from the more traditional leather you’re used to, but it is still genuine leather underneath. If you’re after a more traditional leather look, our Luxe Kite Bag is made from top-grain leather and uses tanning instead of coating, which might be a more suitable choice for you. If you have any questions or keen to learn more about the different leather types, please feel free to reach out to our support team. We're happy to answer your questions. :)
I really love my willow bag and was hyped to buy it ASAP when I saw it unreleased on the IG. On arrival it has beautiful, soft leather and high quality metal. The attention to detail is superb with the logo placed tastefully throughout its design.
I was lucky to be able to preorder and receive a complimentary shoulder pad. It’s definitely a must have if you consider purchasing this bag, it makes holding the bag super comfortable.
The straps are sturdy but I’ll need to hole punch to make it shorter as I find that it is too long for me despite it being on the shortest length possible. I am 161cm tall and the bag with weight in it unfortunately strains my back as it sits below my hips, hoping shorter straps/more holes can be considered in future models.
Additionally, it is a rather snug fit with my Macbook Air. To make it fit I insert my laptop vertically then adjust in the bag as the length of the zips is shorter than the horizontal length of my laptop.
My only qualm is that I unfortunately had some areas of my straps with messy stitching.
Otherwise, I’m very excited to use this bag and thank the creativity and team at Late To Work Studios behind this bag. It’s simple, high quality and very unique!
I love the bag, very cute, big enough to carry the minimal items I need for work but not too big where I would overfill it and hurt my back from lugging too much around. Docking a star from the rating because the magnet is very weak. Honestly it probably would have deterred me from buying it if I had tested the magnetic closure in person. But if you don’t mind that, you will likely be happy with it too. I’m keen to bang this bag up a bit and see how it ages, I’m not a fan of a fresh looking bag. Hopefully it gets floppier over time.
"Wait what?? You lost your bag??? The nice one???"😭😭😭
Oh Noooo Richie, that's unlucky! Please feel free to send our support team an email - I will ask them to set up a discount for your next purchase. Sorry for your loss :(
I received my Runaway bag today. The delivery was surprisingly quick, considering I live on the west coast of Canada. I didn't have to pay duty at customs just my provincial sales tax which was a nice surprise. It is one beautiful bag , such supple leather which will get better with time and the extra crossbody strap is a bonus. I will probably be ordering a different bag when it's in stock. Glad I found your company!
So good to hear your bag got to you that fast! The leather will just keep softening up with use. We’ve got some new releases around the corner too, so keep an eye out.
Great quality! But straps are not suitable for bigger individuals. So if you are wanting to utilise it as a cross body style it won’t fit. So I’m just using it like a hand bag.
The Runaway bag is the perfect mix slouchy and oversized but it fits oh so perfectly under your arm. This bag can fit my 15" macbook but I can also use it for just the essentials. With soft leather and two removable straps this bag is perfect! Highly recommend :)
Sounds like the Runaway is doing exactly what it was made for. Love that it works for both your laptop days and light-travel days. Appreciate the glowing recommendation!
I got the runaway bag and it really is versitile and a nice touch to any outfit.
So good to hear it’s working for you. Thanks for the shout!
I was abit hesitant to buy at first, but there was nothing to worry about! Just received the Workshop Body bag, it looks and feels amazing quality! My new everyday bag! LOVE!
Next bag I'm eyeing is the Marcello Bag, hopefully it will be restocked soon.
