Please confirm the sizing is as per the image, 27" Is a very large bag.

Dear Gikonyo
thanks a lot for getting back to me!
The size is the correct one, my husband wants to use it as a travel bag, so yes, it is big, which is good 🙂
The leather on the picture looks great!
Could you let me know the price and the deadline for the fabrication?

Hello from France
I spoke to my husband again: he would like to have the bag as in the photo. He doesn't like the Caramel or the Chestnut leather as much as the bag in the picture: it's more patterned.
He would prefer to wait until this leather is available again.
Do you have any idea how long this might take?
Thank you very much
