THANK YOU so much for sending me my beautiful Medolla handbag last week! I am delighted!! It is exquisite; and exactly what I really need, (with that shoulder strap!)... I am very grateful to you, for all your kind assistance and patience.

When I placed my order I was quickly informed of a delay (bags were awaited from Italy) - I was impressed by the speed and frankness of this. You are good at keeping customers informed.

I would just like to add my comments to the list of many other satisfied customers. I have had my Maxwell Scott saddle bag for 3 years now and I love it. I have lots of compliments about it when I am out and about and use it every day. It is practical, versatile and always looks fabulous (even if I do say so myself!) It is beautiful leather and has worn with time to look even nicer. I am now considering a second purchase from you soon (as and when funds allow!) as I feel they are worth every penny only improve over time. You should be proud of your products, they are beautiful.

My handbag is exactly what I was looking for. I became tired of paying £40 or £50 for 'leather' bags that wore out within a year, so I decided to go for a proper leather item. The design is similar to one I had 30-odd years ago and liked, but was unable to replace at the end of its life. Smells fabulous too!

Excellent service and fabulous quality products! This purchase was a gift for my wife who was very appreciative. Our first purchase was a top end briefcase and I have had many comments on the beautiful smell of the leather.

The MedollaM handbag was to be ordered as a birthday present. After receiving advice by telephone, I selected a delivery date to suit and this was met exactly. The bag was well packaged and arrived safely, so I would describe the service as exemplary. The recipient was extremely delighted with the style and quality of the product as well, so we both know the first port-of-call for any future requirements. Thank you.

Placed my order just before Christmas. Was told that there would be a slight delay but bag would arrive before Christmas day which it did. Excellent service and the bag, for my partner, is just perfect.
5 Gorgeous bag
Gorgeous bag bought for me by husband - comfortable to wear cross-body and big enough for all I want/need to carry but small enough to use everyday and evenings. Thank you
5 Love it!
What I Love : It took only 5 days from the UK to Thailand. Customer service staff answer my questions quickly. I like the color of this bag, classy! What I OK: the strap is too long for me but I can get it punctured for a better fit, no problem. The corner area of the bag where 2-3 pieces of leather merged is not quite neat, but acceptable. I'm considering buying more ;)
5 Beautiful
This is a gorgeous, well crafted, quality handbag, worth saving for. I am certain it will last me years although I am sure I need at least two other colours!
5 Beautiful Bag
Love this bag and the quality of the leather. This is my forever bag! It fits everything I need, but it did force me to downsize a few things I normally carried, but that's not a bad thing!

Great bag, very happy with the item.

I bought the medium medulla bag in dark brown. The bag arrived when they said it would and the bag is just lovely. I bought the style from the sale page and saved a lot of money and so I feel less guilty. Thank you Maxwell Scott.

Great customer service. It is good to find a company that deals with quality products. Excellent delivery and quality service even when the goods were out of stock.
5 Wonderful
I have in the past purchased 2 gladstone bags from your company - at the time they were about £350 each. I first of all bought one for myself and later I bought one for sister. It's just pure QUALITY. I am about to to order the shoulder bag and can't wait.

The bag arrived within 24 hours of ordering and the quality thereof is of the usual standard. Excellent leather and stitching. I own several items now and they are always a pleasure to use. Am looking forward to some new handbag designs!

Ordered this lovely bag in dark chocolate. The color is very beautiful and will go with many things. In certain light there is a hint of burgundy to the brown, which I love. Very spacious and the leather is absolutely gorgeous. I hope to get the black version, as this is a classic style and I will use it for years to come. The speed of shipping was definitely a surprise; VERY fast, considering where it was shipped from! I will purchase more from Maxwell Scott...

The beautiful quality of the tan leather is the first thing you'd notice, then the stitching and functionality. Everything about this product is dedicated to excellent craftsmanship. The size holds everything I need and more; my Kindle is now a permanent resident in it. It is definitely tech-savvy, as I think the Ipad would fit in really well here. This is now my third bag from Maxwell Scott, and we can't recommend the brand enough. Well done.

I really like this purse. I can recommend to everyone, who likes the classic style.

Mum and I were really impressed with the quality of the product. The exchange for a smaller bag proved to be no problem and the customer service team were very polite, friendly and efficient. We would definitely recommend Maxwell Scott to others.

I bought this handbag for my mum for Christmas, after fruitlessly looking for something similar (if a little cheaper!) elsewhere. She had set her heart on this one after seeing it on the website and was over the moon when she unwrapped it.

The bag is beautiful! Let me know if you have any offers at any time. Will definitely consider one in a different colour!
5 My wife loves this bag
My wife loves the bag in Chestnut tan, 1st class leather and colour. Very functional and looks outstanding. From my personal experience M/S's customer care team unlike some other companies are as the term 'Customer Care' suggests they help and care about their customers
5 Brilliant
Have had my eye in this bag for ages, when the sale began just could not resist. So so pleased with my purchase, a quality item, which will last me years! My only TINY little problem, there us no pocket to put my mobile phone in, maybe next time!

I chose the large black saddle bag. It’s a very well made, quality leather handbag which will get better with age. I can see it lasting for many years to come. It is slightly stiff, but I have no doubt it will soften over time with use. I am very happy with my new bag, it is top quality and the leather smells lovely too.
5 Medoalla
This is my third bag from Maxwell Scott, they are all excellent. The customer service is very good, nothing is too much trouble, the bag is large enough for all my stuff! The leather is superb and it will soften up more with use, it will last me years and years, this style of bag is very traditional, so thank you, Maxwell Scott, I love it !!!!
5 Love it!
My purse just arrived in the mail and I love it! It is stunning. I love the leather and the look and all of the organizing compartments. It has a zipper pocket from the outside which is perfect for my keys and cell phone. There is also a zippered section inside the purse which is great for my wallet. So happy! Thank you for making such a high quality and beautiful purse that is large enough and well designed!

Love the quality and feel of the two bags I have so far ordered from you, they cannot be found anywhere else for this price, and I will definitely shop with you again.
5 Perfect bag
The best bag I have ever had! The only tiny minus is that I have expected to receive the textile cloth bag to store it in. It was delivered in the postbox without the cover.
5 Beautiful quality bag in a classic style which won't date
Beautiful quality bag in a classic style which won't date. Usable on the shoulder or cross body. The strap is easily adjustable. An investment piece!
5 Well made
Seems like a very well constructed bag. more importantly my wife likes it.

Inspired by the timeless charm of Italian leather and the classic elegance of British design, we use only the finest full-grain, vegetable-tanned Vachetta leather to craft our products. Our method is simple: honour generations of leather craft and obsess over every last detail.

OUR SIGNATURE LEATHER
Two decades have passed, and we are still committed to using our unique, unparalleled Vachetta leather that only one tannery possesses the precise formula to produce. Our prestigious leather is certified by the Genuine Italian Vegetable-Tanned Leather Consortium, a certificate of quality awarded to less than 1.5% of Italian tanneries. By showcasing their trademark and quality assurance, we honour the heritage of skilled artisans.
Finest Full-Grain Vachetta Leather
Often imitated but never matched, our high-quality full-grain Vachetta leather is unrivalled due to three essential components:
1. HIDES - we source only European hides reared in perfect conditions, ensuring tough and durable leather with a quality finish.
2. TANNING PROCESS - we use a natural centuries-old technique of vegetable-tanning which is both organic and sustainable.
3. TANNERY - Our tannery is based in the heart of Tuscany, arguably the best region in the world. It has been awarded countless awards and delivers some of the 1.5% best leather in Italy. These factors combine to yield a premium, durable leather with exceptional visual appeal.
A Unique Patina
As time passes, a captivating patina will develop, subtly transforming its colour and aesthetic as it gracefully weathers the elements, a highly desirable characteristic of pure untreated leather, leaving a legacy of its journey. Unwanted marks and surface scratches can be effortlessly removed due to our slow process of drum-dying the leather all the way through, unlike faster methods of hand and surface dyeing. Our deep, earthy tanned leather is of unparalleled quality, allowing it to retain its natural strength, character, and properties without any alterations or corrections. In contrast, coated full-grain leather loses its appeal as it ages in as little as 12 months.
Sustainably Tanned With Chestnut Trees
We're committed to using a centuries-old technique that has remained unchanged for thousands of years. The process of vegetable tanning requires considerable time and patience, as our hides immerse themselves in drums for 60 days. We’ve always believed that the reward of sustainable, premium leather is worth the wait. With only 10-12% of the world's leather being vegetable-tanned due to quicker and cheaper methods of tanning becoming more prevalent, we are proud to honour the traditions and legacy of authentic leather craft passing the exceptional benefits onto our customers.
Guardians of a Rich Legacy
We honour an authentic approach to tanning leather, using Chestnut extracts to embrace a sustainable and organic method of dyeing, preserving a traditional practice that dates back thousands of years. The deep colour and natural scent of our signature leather are a testament to this ancient technique, enabling wearers to fully immerse themselves in the beauty of nature.
Crafted To Last a Lifetime
The combination of these factors forms a dependable yet timeless work of art, which will accompany you for a lifetime. To demonstrate our confidence, we offer an industry-leading 25-year warranty.
