The Convertible Maestra Bag
Senreve's Maestra, an Italian leather bag with a stain resistant suede interior (in 3-sizes) is a fabulous find! The clever bag is an all-in-one satchel with top handle; crossbody bag; and backpack. The transition from one form to another is easy by pulling the straps. It only takes seconds!
Upscale and stylish, the interior holds lots of stuff. A side compartment secures a 10.5 inch iPad, and 7 pockets keep all your belongings organized. What's more, the large convertible Maestra holds a 13 inch laptop; your lunch; and a sweater according to Business Insider.
The gold knobs on the bottom look rich, and the bag comes in 27 colors, as well as, different textures (smooth, pebbled and dragon) in strong cowhide leather, as well as, mixed leather.
If I had to come up with one improvement, it would be to widen the top flap (or cover), since if you look at the images, there are two openings at the top of the bag on the sides. There is an interior pouch that zips, yet the 2 side comparents are exposed -- and for the price, they shouldn't be, in my opinion. It isn't a dealbreaker, but a detail I noticed in seeing the bag in store.
Not an inexpensive bag, yet well below the exorbitant prices of so many well-known luxury bags. The Maestra is every bit as rich as the exclusive French brands, but costs far less -- all 3 sizes under $1,000 -- and has a lifetime guarantee. Expect the convertible Maestra bag to hold up for decades even with constant use. The purse is carried by Nordstom and resalers like The RealReal, so it's quite possible to catch a reduction.
With its elegance, sturdiness and versatility, the Maestra convertible bag makes a great work, or travel bag. Chiao Bella! The next big thing!! Because ... now, don't we all want one?!!!

Dearest Debbie,
ReplyDeleteThat is a very clever idea to market it as a convertible. Don't know what it's size/length would turn out as a back pack but I sure love that part. Never liked any short handle bag...
Hugs,
Mariette
I like them very much!

DeleteAs you know from my Blog, I am not a fan of cross body bags or backpacks, but I do love a nicely structured satchel bag w/handle. Also love all the great colors. I will check these out. I don't mind spending extra on a bag that will last and last. Money well spent.
ReplyDeleteCheers, M-T
P.S.: Forgot to mention I am a big fan of Italian leather whether in bags or shoes.

I'm a fan of sturdy Italian leather made to last too! These Convertible Maestra bags are not cheap for everybody, but we both know, it is money well spent if you hold onto your bags. I also like that Nordstrom sells the bag, as they have such great major sales 6 times a year. Lastly, it's a luxury bag costing much, much less than other luxury bags that you can pull out and use daily without babying. So I am happy to feature it on this blog. Everything I believe: Buy one good quality purse (verses lots of inferior, non-durable ones), catch a sale if possible; use it; and hang onto it until it falls apart!
