Perfect little coin purse - ideal for Market shopping
My new black fold over satchel is wonderful! Love Charlie Middleton bags - great quality and very stlylish!
I loved the fact that this bag was made in Australia and using good quality leather. The workmanship is perfect and it’s the right size to fit all my bits and pieces without being too big and heavy. I bought the additional cross body strap so I can take it overseas with me.
This Nappa Mini Pochette is perfect for keeping phone credit card and notes in. Enough room for the keys too. Great size, great shape and great colour. Love it!
Great bag, light weight. Looks really smart. Very happy thanks
Gorgeous wallet
Luxurious leather bag, beautifully made, Highly recommended :)
When you only need to carry the essentials this is a great cross body bag- well made and a local product. Love it.
I love this coin purse. I purchased it to keep all my cards in as I don’t want them in my wallet but I will also use it as a money purse when I go out at night with my small shoulder bag that can’t fit my wallet. I love that it’s leather. The colour is really nice and the quality is excellent. Delivery was super fast so I would definitely recommend purchasing from Charlie Middleton and I’m sure I wil be purchasing again.
Gorgeous suede in such a vibrant colour, get so many compliments. Love the natural handles with mine.
What a wonderful experience from start to finish. Great communication - and just WOW!! Such a beautifully crafted piece which I'm sure will be my go to for many years to come. Thank you :)
It is just big enough to hold a wallet, keys, phone, and earbuds. The crossbody strap is adjustable and removable. Yet I find that I just leave both on the purse. I love it.
I've had my eye on Charlie's tote bags for a while and finally decided to treat myself to a mini tote. This bag does not disappoint. It's a really lovely, well made bag for all your essential items on an uncomplicated day out. Smart and stylish. I love it!
Very useful bag, well made and good quality
