I actually bought this a couple of years ago, it could be as long as 3. It was pretty expensive even though it had been reduced, and I was actually disappointed with it because it weighs a ton even when empty, it lacks a pen holder, the mobile phone pockets are too small and it doesn't have a loop for your keys. I really don't know why I didn't return it when I had the chance. I was gonna offload it on Ebay or Vinted but in the end I couldn't be bothered so I stuffed it in a drawer and forgot about it. I noticed that the tote bag I've been using for years looked really tattered so I decided I'd chuck it and get myself a new one. I stopped and remembered Ruth's bag stuffed in the drawer so I got it out and I'm gonna use it....I may as well. Still annoyed that it lacks so many features, at least it's got "feet" but like most "organiser" bags I can't remember where anything is so it's still a "rummage! and as I said before it's so chuffin' heavy...I guess that's a sign of quality but I wish I hadn't bought it. Does anyone else admit to having one of Ruth's "Wonderful" bags. It came with a dust bag, which I threw out, I don't know why I didn't use it, but it hasn't suffered from being stuffed in a drawer for 3 years!
Ruth's "hero" tote bag!

I hadn't ever thought that her bags would be heavy. I've never been tempted by one, however. She emphasises that her bags have 'feet' and even provides five instead of the usual four.

The Ruth Langsford range appears to be a sure winner on QVC.I must be one of the few who would never buy not JUST because I think most of the stuff is dated and mega overpriced but would I want to be seen sporting an item with her name on it? If I was into designer names and labels, which I am not, the RL would not be on my radar.
Totally agree, give me Radley any day. Ruth Langsfords prices are ridiculous!
I use a Kipling bag I bought off amazon many moons ago. It wasn't even full price but it's got all the organisation I need, I don't lose anything in it and it doesn't weight much when it's empty. I just don't need any more bags. I've got others but they stay in the cupboard and I just can't bring myself to get rid of them.
Along with di Lisi, she pushes the fact that her so called 'branding,' is subtle. It's still there, though, and can't be missed by anyone interested enough to ask, 'Where did she get that bag?'
It was a moment of madness as at the time I was desparately searching for a leather bag with all bells and whistles and I fell for all the hype. The only thing I do like is the feet on the bottom and the long handles which does mean you don't have to take it off your shoulder to rummage. It was only available in burgundy and I'd have much preferred tan, so I'm not keen on the colour, but hey it's a big bag which I can get a lot in so I might as well not make it the biggest waste of money ever and use it!
My bag has a dangly leather thing with a gold plate with RWL scrawled on it. To be fair you can actually remove the whole thing from the bag as it serves no purpose. I've left it on and if anyone asks I'll be honest 'cause I've got to the point where I'm past caring lol!

If I saw anyone with a bag with RL on it, I’d think it was a poor knock off of Ralph Lauren without his customary polo player logo
Doesn't she add her middle initial to her logo?If I saw anyone with a bag with RL on it, I’d think it was a poor knock off of Ralph Lauren without his customary polo player logo

She had to add her middle name as Ralph Lauren already has the rights to the RL logo
When I was out shopping today my mate saw my bag and said "bliddy hell that looks heavy" I told her the story and throughout the day she kept pointing out bags and trying to encourage me to buy another one. She's an absolute bag freak, and I'm not...I just said I don't particularly like this bag but it's a bag, I can put stuff in it so it will do! Thankfully she didn't noticed the RWL tag so I didn't have to explain myself. It's a shame that I didn't get a compliment on the bag, so it does show it was a pretty crap purchase, but I knew that anyway!
