My last gift from my mum

I saw this bag on a lady at work and the staff and I adored it. Went home and that night I ordered it. This is my 8th piece of Saben and I love each and everyone. I bought it with some money my mother left me, so we can go on outings together. Thanks you lovely Saben ladies

Disappointed Customer

I purchased this bag specifically as a Mother’s Day gift for my mother, as she travels frequently and I thought a small bag would be perfect for her. I believed I was purchasing a brand-new bag, however I instead received what appeared to be a used display bag, with someone’s glasses left inside the pocket.

When I contacted customer service, I was told, “Oh, a customer must have left it in the bag,” which I found very disappointing and unprofessional. I then contacted the Newmarket store to arrange an exchange for a new bag, only to later discover that there was no stock available and that the bag I had purchased was in fact the display bag.

What is most disappointing is that nobody contacted me beforehand to advise that stock was low or that the item being sold was a display bag. Had I been informed, I would have requested a refund instead of proceeding with the purchase.

I am disappointed with the level of customer service. It has left a very sour taste in my mouth.

Paris Tote

I just love, love, love this tote. It holds so much and isn’t big and bulky. I get my lunch, drink bottle and all necessities in it and my book and iPad fit safely in the side pockets. Also pockets inside for glasses and phone. My Blunt umbrella even fits snuggly on the top when zipped up. I get so many compliments ❤️

Wow!

I just LOVE my Paris Tote. The size, shape, colour it's just perfect. I could not be happier with my purchase.
The ease of ordering and the speed with delivery was above and beyond. I live south of Auckland so delivery is sometimes slower.
Thanks Saben

The Perfect Partner!

This bag is so great. Nice & light, but still with lots of compartments & spots for things. Great fabric that's up for travel & being thrown in the car & just a great size that it fits lots but you can't load up so it breaks your neck. Plus the double straps not only look great but are functional. I truly love it!

Best work bag

My wife is a midwife and needed an upgrade of her work bag. This was perfect, not too big, not too small, plenty of interior pockets, and of course an elegant style.

A winning Christmas present 🏆

Paris Tote

Perfect travel bag to accomodate everything you need, especially for a long haul flight. Light weight & dark colour, to minimise dirt/stains that can easily happen at airports/ubers/hotel floors when checking in.

Paris Tote for the win!

Bag was packaged really well for protection during shipping. Was presented in a dust cover and the materials and finish are excellent. High quality tote that I’m sure will last for many years. Great value for money.

Love my Paris Tote

I bought my Paris tote while on holiday in Auckland but didn't use it until I returned home to the UK. Since I've used it I have had plenty of compliments and queries as to where I bought it. I can carry my tablet in one of the external compartments. The pockets in the roomy centre zippered compartment are large enough to hold a phone and glasses case and the additional zippered pocket is ideal for keeping cash and cards secure . The outer material stands up to the rain. My only wish would have been a side pocket to hold a fold up umbrella, and that would have made it 5 star for me. I will definitely be using my bag a lot and each time it will remind me of our time in New Zealand.

Fab day to day bag !

I just wanted a light super casual day to day hand bag. Perfect for all the travel I do with the zip at the top . And sore. Light being made of nylon as my bag is full to the brim and heavy with contents. A leather bag is too heavy to carry . Do happy with this . Has replaced my longchamp nylon as this is much better quality .
