    Excellent rum for its price, with intense aromas.

    It is quite strong

  • I did not see any other review for this specific bag. And to tell the truth, I haven't seen anyone wearing it either. So, I will give you the most objective review possible to help you.

    In terms of size, if you are used to wearing smaller bags like "Nike, Adidas, or even Tommy Hilfiger," it will seem big when you first hold it. You will stop considering it big after a week of use, so that's not a problem. In my opinion, the size is ideal.

    The magnet that fastens to close the envelope is very strong. There is NO chance that someone will open the bag without you noticing (I wanted a bag like this, envelope-style, to feel secure while using it. If you are looking for the same thing, you will find it in this bag. The magnet closure is quite sturdy.)

    As for its beauty (I am talking about the black color, which I own), it is simply gorgeous. It looks even more impressive up close. The Lacoste logo is visible but not to the point where it stands out and makes you look like you are trying too hard while wearing it. It is just right. And honestly, sometimes I look at it and think about how beautiful and luxurious it looks.

    It has enough compartments to fit all your belongings. Just make sure your wallet and phone are on the larger side. It does not have enough space for huge items. It has many compartments, but it can only accommodate smartphone-sized items. (For me, this was not a problem.)

    Its construction is relatively good. I wouldn't say it has the best construction. And it doesn't inspire confidence that it will last in excellent condition for, let's say, five years with daily use (like other bags that are marketed to consumers). So, if you want something that will withstand the test of time, I would not recommend getting it. Its construction is not terrible, but it is definitely not the most durable.

    It is not waterproof, but it won't be damaged if it gets caught in the rain, so don't worry. Unless it's pouring rain and you're carrying your passport, then it will get ruined, and so will the bag.

    However, it has a major flaw in my opinion.

    The quality of the "strap" is quite poor. I don't mean that it is bad to the point of breaking; it looks quite durable. It is just made of a material that resembles "rope," that's the best description I can give it. And let me tell you the truth, it collects a lot of hair. And when I say it collects hair, I mean it. If you have cats or anything like that at home, or if you generally don't like your clothes collecting hair, DO NOT get this bag because it is truly a magnet for hair (only on the strap), and because it is black, the hair is visible on it.

    I have simply gotten used to looking at it from time to time and removing the hair it collects because I have a cat. But this particular negative aspect is significant in my opinion because when you spend €100 on a Lacoste bag, the last thing you want is for people to constantly see hair stuck on the strap, ruining the whole "prestige" of wearing a Lacoste bag.

    In the end, if someone asks me, would I buy it again? I would answer yes, it has left me very satisfied. I would just buy it knowing what to expect and without suddenly being disappointed by the hair issue. I wouldn't pay more than 100€ for any reason. Only if they released it with a different strap.

    I hope I helped.

    I have one thing to say. I bought the machine and expected that I would make coffee and wake up the whole neighborhood, 8 squares away from my house, based on the reviews I saw about the noise here.

    For those who are planning to buy it and are thinking that it will be excessively noisy to the point of discouraging them from getting it:

    The machine doesn't make any noise at all. It is a normal coffee machine.
