This is an early Christmas present from Jared! This was a color that was only available for purchase for 24 hours only. Black Cherry is a limited edition color that Peter Nitz only released for those who watched his live stream on Instagram back in July. So I have had this bag for a little while now. 😅 I'm not one of those people that can wait until Christmas to open up a gift. As I already have one of these totes in a smaller size and different leather, I knew I would love this one.
For reference I'm 4 feet 11 inches tall.
Please check out my video to see what fits!
This tote can be carried by the handle, which is surprisingly comfortable and on the shoulder or crossbody. I love a bag that can be worn multiple ways. I attached a cute Hèrmes bag charm that I bought from TheRealReal. I really think it's the perfect bag charm!
The shoulder strap is surprisingly comfortable. It's about one inch wide and very adjustable. I'm still playing with the length to see which works best for me. The bag is filled with stuffing for these photos but when I carry my regular everyday things it molds against my body. If you do pack the bag completely full, this is what it would look like. My Youtube video has more mod shots towards the end if you're interested in seeing more.
Let's take a look at the details.
This is a very minimalistic design. The only logo is a small foil stamp underneath the handles that reads "Peter Nitz Zurich". There's almost zero hardware. The only hardware on the bag are the D rings at the sides of the bag where the crossbody strap attaches.
This is made from full grain premium leather. It has a matte finish which feels a little dry to the touch. This matte finish prevents scratches and the leather should stay looking like new for a long time. I've worn it about five times and it still looks brand new. It's a very durable leather.
Made in Romania
The inside of the bag is unlined. I like that the bottom of the bag is leather instead of suede because it makes it easier to clean. The base of the bag is firm to prevent the bag from sagging. Overall this is a really nice, thought out design.
One thing that I kind of wish the bag had, is feet. I'm sure it was considered, but for whatever reason it didn't make the cut. I know if hardware was added for feet, it would look a little out of place for this kind of bag, but I would have loved for a piece of leather on the sides as feet, similar to my Joseph Duclos bag. Something like this, would have been nice.
No feet 😕
I really love this bag and Black Cherry is a very saturated, deep burgundy. In some lighting it looks more red, sometimes it can look brown. Either way, this is a great fall bag/winter bag. That's it for me! I Hope you have a wonderful week! I can't believe it's the last week of October. The holidays are officially starting!
