Gothic Literature Lover's Dream

I'm happy I was finally able to get my hands on one of these, as I have been following this brand for years and as a Gothic literature and English Major graduate, this bag was made for me!

It's really pretty in person and definitely a statement piece and just the right amount of spacious without it being bulky. Lot's of room including being able to fit my laptop which is a major plus.

However, similar to many other reviews I agree that had I not gotten this at their 60% off sale, I would have been disappointed in the quality had I got this at full price which I don't think would of been up to par. I think the 60% markoff of $60ish bucks is exactly where this price point should be. The images are not 3D just printed, there were a few strings I needed to trim off and part of the lower side of the bag has dents in it, especially as the bag is not sent in protective packaging but in a plastic bag, not box. The original price of like $150+ is a bit insane for this premium vegan leather even though it is a beautiful bag. I can't attest to the actual leather bag, but would hope the quality is higher. I also cannot attest to the longitivity of use, so hoping that it lasts as I can't wait to use it as my everyday bag.

I ended up purchasing another small one (in purple) and the matching wallet for my best friend as this is a great gift present for fellow literature lovers.

Happy with my purchase!

My New Favorite Handbag!

It’s very sturdy and had a lot of room.

I'm crazy about this purse!

If I could buy and collect all of the Poe collection (and some additional items) I WOULD!! The vegan leather is such a smart choice for these vivid designs. And I'm telling you it looks and feels even better in person! So vibrant! It fits all that I need, but I don't over pack it anyway. Truly gothic, classy, I mean it just looks so rich. Definitely my favorite bag!

Asked & answered

Questions from the reading room.

Is the artwork printed on, or part of the leather?

Printed into it. The vegan leather surface is made for print, so the ink sets in the grain rather than sitting on top — as one reader put it, “the print sits in the grain, it doesn't sit on top of it.”

What fits inside?

A 13″ laptop, books, and a wallet — with room to spare. The volume measures 13.8″ × 10.6″ × 5.5″ (35 × 26.9 × 13.9 cm), with a black lined interior and a secure zipper closure.

What's the difference between the two bindings?

Premium vegan leather is the everyday reading copy — buttery-soft, waterproof, easy to keep, and the better canvas for the artwork. Top-grain leather from Tuscany is the collector's binding — natural grain that turns to patina the longer you carry it.

How long does delivery take?

Everything ships from the United States and leaves the press within 1–2 business days. Economy takes 5–8 business days ($9.99), Standard 3–5 ($12.99), Express 2–3 ($17.99) — tracked, every time.

What if it isn't my story?

Return or exchange it within 30 days, hassle-free. Checkout is secure, and our support desk reads every letter.

How do I care for it?

As you would a good book: keep it out of the rain, wipe with a soft dry cloth, store it upright, and let the leather breathe between chapters. Still wondering about anything? Write to the Press →
