Hello Stefan,
This is Vicky, the local operations manager. I received your bag from Stellar and did an assessment to see whether everything meets your standards and expectations. The bag looks both beautiful and functional. Stella used good quality accessories which go well with the bag material and colour. I have shared a few close up photos of the bag to give you a better idea of the material texture. Kindly look through them and let us know what you think.
Best regards,
Vicky Achieng.
Hi Vicky,
I hope you are doing well. The pictures look great. And even better is how you described the bag. Since I know you and trust you, I'm really looking forward to it arriving.
Best regards from Germany
