J.W. Hulme is the real deal in leather
J. W. Hulme is an American Company known for its fine leather wear, specifically bags for women and men. They have experienced the ups and downs of producing their bags in China, mostly down, and now all of the worthwhile products are produced in the United States. They had a sale, and I bought a very handsome bag with a cross-body strap in black. (Note it was made in Mexico). On their website were some bags that I think were an experiment. Most of them are not very interesting and are in contrast to the classic bags that they are known for. I would guess that they were an effort to expand their appeal. Stick with the original bags designed and made in the United States, and enjoy them for years. They may be expensive, but are worth the price.
