This review has been long overdue, I have had the sojourn for a year and a half, but these days I don’t really use a bag anymore, I just grab my phone when I go out. However due to life circumstances I have needed a bag for a few months and the sojourn was the perfect fit.

CONS: Within two months of use the zips have completely lost their gunmetal colour and now shows the brass. I understand there are going to be inevitable signs of wear over time, but two months is just NOT durable enough. The monochromatic look of the bag is altered and ruined by the odd brass and makes it look cheap.

The zips also quite easily catch the leather around them creating some sort of ‘cuticle’ tears, and one has to be a bit careful when unzipping.

PROS: I adore the design and the size of the bag, it is very minimal chic. The faux leather is in fantastic shape after a couple of months and is relatively resistant to scratches. Love the myki pocket.

I find myself sitting in front of this bag, wondering if mine was defective and whether I should buy a new one and give it another chance? Or if the gunmetal zips are just not durable enough and I should stay clear from bags with such a visible and prominent zip feature?

This colour is sooooo cute! I love the size and design of the bag. It’s perfect for everyday. Fits my phone in the front compartment perfectly which is very convenient. In love!
