style no. 213

I have used Sven purses for over 20 years. They hold up well and are attractive.

I now own two of these bags and just love the leather. Its soft and just the right size for me. I've been using nothing but SVEN bags now for over a year.

I have been looking for the perfect bag what seems like forever. I have 2 now and have ordered 2 more.

I don't know why no one else makes a bag precisely this size: Big enough for two wallets, eyeglasses, and a few sundries. The two interior pockets are perfect for an iPhone, and having a top zipper is a must (IMO) for security purposes... This bag was the one I sought for over 2 years before I found SVEN. The leather is beautiful, the bag is understated, and the size is just right. Mine is aubergine, which "reads" as a neutral, honestly, because the color is subtle. Lovely bag.

I love this bag. The leather is soft, and the size and shape is perfect for my possessions. I bought the first one at a store, where it was an impulse buy. I used that one every day for two or three years. I used it heavily, constantly. I replaced the zipper once at a luggage repair store, and was happy with the lining. I purchased a second one after the strap finally gave out on my first one. It was strange because the lining was less durable and the strap was longer by an inch, plus the zipper pouch and the open pocket were reversed, so I had to get used to a different orientation of my items. The zipper gave out recently (and the lining has been less durable). I will repair the zipper soon, but bought my third handbag this last week. The third bag matches the first one I owned! I am happy, no matter what. It's a bag I can use indefinitely.
