I love the Charlie Middleton Large Backpack in Taupe. The unlined interior keeps it lightweight and really highlights the beautiful texture—the leather feels amazing. The size is perfect for my laptop, lunch, and a warm jumper or cardigan. It is expensive, I added the extra pocket but absolutely worth the money,. The service was professional and smooth—I can’t fault my experience at all.
My second purchase! I love the bag with the silver hardware and name printed long strap. You can wear on the shoulder or as a cross body. So versatile. I added a scarf for decoration. The leather and stitching are such great quality!
Purchased while visiting the Sydney shop from Canada. Perfectly fits my laptop, lunch, water bottle and a few bits and bobs for work. I love it! I added a little Bondi print scarf accessory (also handmade in Syd) and think it goes perfectly. I got this and a black shoulder bag. Couldn’t recommend enough!
I am very happy with my purchase!
Mini bespoke tote is so beautiful. High quality leather and wonderful craftsmanship. Taupe is a very nice and sophisticated colour for all year round. This is a birthday gift for my mum in Japan. I am not sure but I don’t think many people own this tote over there yet. So she is going to be so happy and proud to use it and it’s going to be an eye catcher!
I also love the fact this is Australian made.
I might order one for myself next time.
Thank you so much Ben!
This is an elegant little bag for special occasions, a dining experience, date night, party or event. The size is just right for a pair of glasses in their case, a coin purse (for your keys), a mini pochette (for those essential cards), mobile phone, lipstick and vanity mirror. The top of the bag folds over and is cleverly held in place with a concealed magnet. The luxurious leather is soft and supple, and the suede is simply beautiful. I'm so very happy with my purchase and highly recommend Charlie Middleton for the high quality of their handmade articles.
Very stylish, comfortable to carry, big enough to hold snacks and poppers as well as phone, wallet and glasses. Love the key holder. Another pocket inside would have been nice, but an excellent bag nonetheless.
Bought as a birthday gift for my wife. Wife loves it. Thankyou.
A beautifully made suede and leather crossbody bag which although it doesn’t hold a huge amount, it easily takes everything needed for a day or evening. It sits well and is stylish yet practical
Purchased this beautifully crafted handbag to go with my dress and navy suede shoes for my nephew's upcoming wedding. I just love it! Keeping it for March, but very much looking forward to it's first outing. Now saving for another Charlie Middleton. Thankyou so much!
My first parcel from Charlie Middleton arrived today and it was love at first sight not only with my Cedar Mini Billie but also with the cedar coin purse, cedar mini pochette, slate two-tone mini weekend crossbody, and black nappa mini pochette. They are all beautifully made. I am so very glad that my mother suggested investing in leather instead of an expensive nylon bag of a popular brand. I have no doubt that all of these handmade leather treasures will stand the test of time. My second parcel should arrive before Christmas with a bespoke full-size Billie shoulder bag in fuchsia with black handle and logo crossbody strap. How exciting!
Love it, small but roomy, comfortable over the shoulder and chic when strap looped
I have had a few Charlie Middleton bags over the years. This style is my favourite for everyday wear.
As usual this bag has a great design as it can fit so much, without being too chunky.
Leather is good quality. And love that you can choose rose, gold or silver for hardware.
This one is a gift for my mother for Christmas. Photos don't do it justice but some below....
A beautiful, functional bag made from a lovely soft leather
I purchased this little beauty for a walkies bag, it's perfect for phone, keys, wallet, & poop bags. The wrist strap makes hands free walking a breeze. The colour is beautiful and as always the craftsmanship is impeccable. This was my third Charlie Middleton piece, no doubt there will be many more.
I ordered my navy mini tote with zip a few months ago and only just staring to use it now. The leather is a beautiful, thick and soft quality. The bag itself super sturdy and durable. The only thing I would like to improve is to give the bag a little more structure. I did this by making a base insert and places inside my bag and it gives it a much more refined appearance and is able to stand upright. Next improvement is like to see are options for more pockets as I need to use a bag organiser. However, I will buy my CM products!
I absolutely love my new crossbody. The colour is stunning and the two tone set it apart from the everyday crossbody bags around. The workmanship is also beautiful.
Such a good all rounder! It’s the perfect size, not too big and not too small and the colour goes with everything x
I love this bag. It fits so much even my laptop. It's soft and the quality is superb. Bought this instore, it is worth a visit to see Ben in action creating. ❤️
Love this bag. It's soft, well made and fits everything I need. The quality is so good you can feel the time and effort Ben puts into his work. Thank you Ben 😊
I already have 2 of the larger size of this bag and love them. I thought a smaller one for travelling would be good and it fits the bill. Beautifully made as usual, and a fabulous design.
This little beauty is perfect for a Miki, a few cards, & coins, & great to clip keys to or use with the wrist strap. 10/10. My new favourite Grab n' Go!
This bag couldn’t have been more perfect for me. The size, the finish, the lining, I love everything about it. It was well worth the spend and the wait for it to be made. I’ll definitely be purchasing from Charlie Middleton again.
I love this bag. I have wanted one of the Charlie Middleton bags since buying a small wallet many years ago. I finally purchased this beautiful bag and I love it so much. Wonderful quality. A forever bag.
