This is my third DIY bag project from Popsewing. I also ordered the horse charm. Together, they look so cute that I’ve actually gotten so many compliments. The hardest part was attaching the piping all around the bottom since you have to sew through 4 layers of leather. However, this piping makes the bag really pop. I would like to make 2 suggestions - 1) re-examine and improve the handles. Maybe they are too wide in the center to be able to grip them properly or maybe the angle just does not work, and 2) offer an option to attach a strap to make this a crossbody bag. I know this is styled after a famous brand’s bag but these days crossbody bags are just more convenient to carry. Oh, another thing, it took 10+ days before the kit was delivered. Wish the company can stock more products in the US instead of coming all the way from China.

This bag was so fun and simple to make! One of my favorite kits yet- the finished product is beautiful- the quality of leather and hardware is superb! I got the white (more craie) with silver and it’s very sophisticated looking. Love it!
I love my new bag and it looks great. My issue is the delivery of instructions. I had already completed the bag and been wearing it for a couple weeks by the time I got the instructions. The process for that is ridiculous. My first bag was better as there was a qr code that was on the box. This one I had to wait for an email - which was so dumb.
Hi Nicky,
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We are glad to hear that you love your new bag and that it looks great. We apologize for the delay in receiving the instructions. We are constantly working to improve our processes and will take your feedback into consideration. We hope you continue to enjoy your bag and thank you for choosing POPSEWING®!
Excellent leather. Beautiful colors. The kit came with everything I needed.
This was my very first DIY kit and I absolutely loved putting it together. I made some small mistakes along the way, but the video tutorial was very clear and helpful. I have quilted, sewn, and done needlepoint in the past. What I loved about this project compared to previous crafting is the feel and smell of the leather. The ease of working with the materials and being able to relax into a steady flow. I found the project very calming. I also love that you end up with something that you will get daily use out of.
The final version is gorgeous and I have received a lot of compliments already. My M-I-L was very impressed and declared the bag as “so elegant!” I am definitely hooked now and will definitely make more bags. I would definitely recommend this one as a great starting point to learn skills before moving onto more challenging projects.
I love this bag. It’s equal to the 22. I get so many compliments on this bag! And everyone is so surprised when I tell them I’ve sewn it myself!
The bag was easy to assemble and is so beautiful! My 13 year old daughter built it with no problems. She loves it!
I can’t say enough about this handbag or the seller. Yes, it took several weeks to arrive from China, but it was def worth the wait. It was packaged very well (and had no odor whatsoever), everything you need is included, the quality of the “leather” is impressive, the waxed thread is a perfect match, and all pre-punched holes match up perfectly. The only thing that could have been improved upon is the video tutorial. It had English subtitles, so it was hard to read while trying to watch the video instruction at the same time, so a bit of re-winding. I am a moderately experienced sew-er and found this kit to be awesome. I am so proud of how my handbag turned out; it looks totally professional. I tell everyone I made it myself and they are astonished. I will surely be purchasing another! GREAT PRODUCT, POPSEWING
I crafted a Picotin-style bag for my first Popsewing project and though a little challenge in some parts, thoroughly enjoyed the process and am pleased with the result. Thank you. I can recommend.
Packaging was nice and the bag came out perfect.was really fun and relaxing to make.will definitely make another one
Really engaging and fun project! The finished bag has been much admired and my mum has asked me to sew one for her. Thanks Pop Sewing x
Good quality semifinished materials, easy to put together. I have some basic sewing skills, instruction video was easy to follow. This kit has everything you need to finish the bag. It took about a week for the order to arrive from the ordering time, considering it’s coming from China the shipping duration is okay. I’m impressed and just ordered more DIY kits. Great gifts to people as well.
It’s a really good looking bag especially when accessorized but leather quality is just okay very heavily processed but seemed to pass the burn and smell test. I mean for less than a 100 dollar , I’m okay with it .
Take note that the inside of the bag is lined with faux leather so be careful if you’re using a lighter to burn the thread.
This was a super cute bag to make! it's symmetrical so it was easy to do once you got the first half done. I changed the thread to get a customized contrast stitch. I did notice that the video instructions didn't caption/translate everything to english. I messed up a couple of times because I didn't notice a step that was only specified in the video. Their support was very helpful and kind. It was my second bag. Have a short video on my tiktok about the process. tiktok.com/@amesisbooked
This purse turned out super adorable. The instructions were a little difficult to understand at somepoints. I did make a mistake on my bag that was not fixable. You really have to pay attention to the directions. I still am happy with the way the bag turned out. And I will still carry it. This is only my second bag that I made, and I will definitely be back to order more.
The materials are high quality and the project is very fun and relatively easy to do. I wish the instructions were provided with the order vs having to reach out to the company for the link, also would have been great if the pieces came with the numbers corresponding to the instruction video vs on a separate sticker to figure it out. I just followed the video and skipped this step. Other colour thread could have been an awesome bonus in case someone wants a contrasting stitching. But overall, a fantastic project and I can definitely recommend it to everyone.
My husband got me this kit for Christmas. I was so excited I ended up sewing it up on Christmas Day, and ordering 4 more! I have received so many compliments on this bag. The directions were easy enough to follow and so much fun!
