Ordered this as an alternative to my Bella purses - I am loving the simplicity of both designs after carrying big, bulky things around for years. But with the advent of smartphones and the apple online wallet, you just don't need to carry as much junk in your purse anymore.
This is totally different to my Bella - the shape is chunkier and squarer so I'd say it does a different job. The Bella is sleeker/narrower and can slot down the back of your bag. It is a less stiff/sturdy leather too. This one does take up a little more room in your bag, but it is squarer and contains different sections / has more structure than the Bella purses do. The leather is sturdier, so it holds its shape (while still having that lush quality that you know will get better with age/use that Honey & Toast stuff does). There's a couple of card slots in the back and then two big sections - there's room enough to keep your cards, cash and a few other bits like a lippy, toothpicks, chewing gum, even keys etc... The larger size would totally work as both a clutch and a purse for larger bags.
The colour is beautiful. The leather is fab. Another winner from Emma and the team (whose customer service cannot be faulted by the way - always responsive and willing to help with any questions or queries).
