All of my items have been received
All of my items have been received. Do I like the style? Yes....The print, picture are great.
Do I like the design and construction? Yes Do I like the faux leather that was used in this bag? Not so much. It seems to be the same material that is used when manufacturing mid priced product. The problem is that my bag was not advertised as a mid priced bag and at $148, I expected better faux leather.

Thank you for your detailed feedback, Deb. We're glad you appreciate the style, print, and design of your bag.
We understand your concerns about the faux leather quality relative to the price. To clarify, we offer two leather options - premium faux leather and top grain leather - and pricing varies based on product size and optional accessories you select during customization.
If you're not satisfied with the material or have questions about your order, please email cs@thenotebags.com so we can discuss this further and address your concerns.
Thank you for taking the time to share your honest feedback about your experience.
Happiness is Starting a New Book
I was chosen to select a gift for our book club leader, Rose, who was retiring from her library job but staying on with us. I wanted something “bookish” and just happened to come across a NoteBags ad on Facebook and knew immediately that this was perfect! After ordering a long wallet, I got an email lettIng me know I should receive it by the 27th, but I needed it by the 22nd; I emailed your company back and you kindly worked a miracle—I think I actually got it on the 17th. Rose loved it, and several book club members asked where I’d gotten it. We all thank you so much!

Thank you for sharing this wonderful story, Beth! When your email came in with that deadline, our team knew we had to make it happen - Rose's retirement gift couldn't wait.
We love that a Facebook scroll led you to the perfect "bookish" gift, and that it sparked interest among your entire book club. There's something special about a gift that honors both a career in libraries and a continued love of reading.
Rose's new chapter may have begun without her library job, but with her book club and her new wallet, the story continues. Thank you for trusting us to be part of that celebration!
Beautiful bag and great quality
Beautiful bag and great quality. I had put off ordering a bag for a while. When my zipper on my old bag (not a Notebag) finally broke I used that as an excuse to finally get my Notebag. So glad I did it is awesome and can't wait to show it off.

Thank you for your wonderful feedback, Delana! Sometimes it takes a broken zipper to push us toward something we've been wanting all along.

Bag could be bigger for the price
Bag could be bigger for the price. Zipper is awkward, doesnt fully close bag and end sticks out or have to shove it in the bag.

Thank you for your feedback, Julie. We appreciate your honest assessment about size relative to price.
Regarding the zipper - our bags feature a two-way zipper design that allows opening from either end for easier access to your items. The zipper intentionally doesn't close completely at the ends to allow for ventilation and quick access without needing to fully zip and unzip.
We understand this design may not meet everyone's preferences, and your feedback about the zipper end management is valuable for our product development team.
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us.

Fun purses, great experience from start to finish
Shipping was a bit slow, but the support team was more than ready to help out - that was so appreciated! The purse and wallet are fantastic. I bought one set for myself and one set for a present for a friend. These are really fun and nicely made.

The whole process of ordering my note bag was easy. I appreciate that the hardest part was choosing which design I wanted. I absolutely love my note bag! It’s actually a little bigger than I anticipated, which not a bad thing. I’m looking forward to using it as soon as possible.

Exceeded expectations
Typically, when I make purchases from ads on Facebook I try not to set my expectations very high. It's always a hit or miss. However, The Note Bags exceeded all expectations. Not only is my handbag and wallet beautifully crafted, but it arrived in a timely manner. But what pleased me the most was having the customer care team reach out to me to make sure I received my items and that I loved them. I love the design and quality and am so pleased with my purchase. They definitely get a 10 out of 10 from me. I will definitely be purchasing from them again!

Thank you for this wonderful review, Cori! We understand the skepticism that comes with Facebook ads - there's always that moment of "will this be worth it?"
We're thrilled that we not only met but exceeded your expectations with both the craftsmanship and timely delivery. Your recognition of our customer care team's personal follow-up is especially meaningful - we believe checking in shows we genuinely care about your satisfaction beyond just making a sale.
A 10 out of 10 rating is the ultimate compliment! Thank you for taking a chance on us and for planning to shop with us again. We look forward to creating more beautiful pieces for you!
Nice, but not really worth the money
The bag itself is a nice bag. The photos make it look like it's stitched with a couple different pieces. It's not. The design is 100% pressed on. I asked & paid for premium leather, and to be honest, I don't know if that's what I received. I requested a zipper for my tote bag and received a double zipper - heads at both ends of the zipper. One would suffice. The lining of the tote, while nice, should have been tucked under the edge of the leather at the opening of the bag, it is not. It's not something I'll likely look to purchase again.

Thank you for your detailed feedback, N.A. We appreciate your honest assessment and understand your concerns about value.
To clarify, the decorative stitching elements visible in our product photos are part of the printed design, not actual stitching. We apologize if this wasn't clear in our product descriptions.
Regarding the premium leather, we take material quality seriously. If you have concerns about whether you received what you ordered and paid for, please contact cs@thenotebags.com with your order details so we can verify and address this.
The double zipper design allows the bag to open from either direction for easier access. We understand this may be more than needed for some customers' preferences.
Your observation about the lining finishing is valuable feedback for our quality control team.
Thank you for taking the time to provide such specific details about your experience. This helps us improve both our product descriptions and construction standards.

I could not be more delighted
I could not be more delighted. The bag’s colors are as vivid as I saw online. It is sturdy as well as beautiful. It does have a bit of heft—NOT shoddy, cheap materials. It has GRAVITAS! I purchased the medium sized handbag, and I had checked the measurements prior to ordering to make sure it could fit what I carry, and it is TRUE TO SIZE. I also bought a wallet for my daughter and I cannot wait for her reaction—it is GORGEOUS.

Thank you for this delightful review, Cherie! Your description of "GRAVITAS" perfectly captures what we aim for - bags that have substance, presence, and staying power.
We love that you did your homework on measurements and found the medium handbag to be exactly true to size. There's something wonderful about a bag that holds everything you need while looking absolutely beautiful doing it. Those vivid colors that translate perfectly from screen to reality? That's the authenticity we strive for.
And now comes the best part - watching your daughter's face when she sees that gorgeous wallet. We can feel your anticipation through your words, and we're honored to be part of that gift-giving moment.
Thank you for such an enthusiastic and detailed review. Your capital letters say it all!
