Customer Reviews
I have been receiving so many warm, friendly emails lately from satisified customers who want to share their joy over their new bag that I decided to create this feedback page. I've posted some recent reviews I have received in my inbox to get this started. Please post your own here! And if you have any pictures of you with your bag making the scene, send them my way and I'll make sure you receive a special gift from Pansy Maiden ;) --Laura
Yesterday was our baby shower and my diaper bag arrived right as people were arriving. I ripped it open and EVERYONE is in love with it! It is better than I had even imagined! You did a phenomenal job. I absolutely love it and know I will be the envy of moms all over town. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
I got my bag last week (the Hands in My Pockets Clutch) and just wanted to let you know how much I'm loving it. I bought it because it was cute and vegan but really it's so much more. It's the perfect size for me and what little stuff I carry and the quality is outstanding!
I am in love with my new PM bag! I had been a Weekender devotee, and recently made the switch to the Mini Messenger. It rocks! It fits perfectly in my bicycle basket, and has all the signature PM pockets to keep me organized (bus pass, keys, cell phone all have a perfect new home in my Mini Messenger). Thank you, Laura! Keep up the good, good work!
I just wanted to let you know I absolutely adore my bag. Thank you so much for the attention to detail and beautiful work...you are very talented. And doing great things for the planet on top of that!!
I received the bag... LOVE it! It's so simple & casual yet classy & stylish all at once. I can't wait to sport it around town... altho my intention was to use it as a transitional diaper bag :) I'm sure it will be used for much more.
This bag [The Bang Bag] rocks more every day I use it. It is so comfortable - fits my shoulder perfectly, and has all those lovely pockets. Teehee!
I wanted to drop you a note to let you know that I LOVE my Shake Sugaree bag. Not only is it adorable, it's totally eco and cruelty-free! I was using another "cruelty-free" bag, which tested positive for LEAD! Ick! I was so happy to find something vegan-friendly AND non-toxic! Thanks so much for all your hard work, it really shows.
I just wanted to let you know that I received my bag yesterday and I absolutely love it! It's perfect. I am always teased for walking around like a bag lady with several little bags on my arm, so this was much needed...and the packaging was very cute!
I just received a black and white Where There Are Trees bag in the mail and I could not be more excited. It is PERFECT. I broke my neck in a car accident and was looking for a fashion forward, ergonomic and comfortable bag to lug my junk to and from work. This baby not only fits all of my stuff, but it compartmentalizes them so nicely it feels like Martha Stewart got off of her throne to put everything together for me! I cannot explain enough how much I love this bag, but I just might be able to once I start using it tomorrow. I CANNOT WAIT. I feel like I need to summon the spirit of Rachel Zoe and admit when I saw the bag for the first time I exclaimed, "I DIE!" Cause I did, just a little bit, but in a good way!
Love my new Weekender to death! (Seriously. So in love.) Do not be surprised if I take advantage of that coupon in the next few months and order one in red.
I have one word for you: "eeeeeeeeeee". Ahem, erm, I mean, thank you thank you thank you! It's bee-yoot-iful! I promptly loaded it up and took it for a spin. One of friends at school saw it & now wants to pillage your shop. I'll be sure to spread the word at school...
I ordered the Weekender bag in grey. It is so amazing! I am completely impressed with the quality of that bag. Laura is an amazing seamstress. It is so detailed and so finely made--I am afraid to wear it in!! I am more than happy that I ordered the bag and would recommend it to ANYONE. Actually, to be honest, it is my very first intentionally purchased vegan item!! I feel so good about it and it will always be special to me because of that. Also, I did not expect the detachable strap that came inside the bag--BONUS!! Love it:)
I just received my Weekender bag in charcoal and ivory for Christmas today and I LOVE IT! It's roomy, has the perfect amount of pockets and two sets of straps. Oh joy! I love having the choice of a shoulder bag or a hand bag. Plus, my boyfriend loves it too! I hope we don't have to fight over it one day. :)
I am lucky enough to have 2 Pansy Maiden bags and love them both! People always ask me where I got them and I of course tell them about this lovely, talented girl I know who moved to Boston and married a bearded man and now makes fabulous bags.
Dear Laura,
The diaper bag that you custom created for us is great! I love the fabric, and it is sturdy and large enough to hold all of the baby's things. I was really impressed with how you listened to my ideas for the design and were able to incorporate everything I requested. People are always complimenting me on the bag, and I make sure to tell them about your site.
Thanks so much!

Your Weekender bag solved all my bag-related problems and then some! Love the yellow mustard/brown color, love the size and the shape and the pockets. Love that it's a really cute really versatile bag that I can take everywhere (even to work) and that it's not leather! Thanks for making these, they are terrific -- Jen
got my "weekender' a while ago and i love it... it's just what i wanted, nice and roomy.
Hi Laura,
Just wanted to let you know that the grey hobo [Bang] bag I ordered from you arrived safely. You did a marvelous job on this bag: I like the sturdy construction, the details, the colors. The outside pockets are wonderful --- just the place to pop my keys and the inside pockets keep items easy to find and get at. The single strap is a plus (with double ones, one is always falling off my shoulder) and the bag fits comfortably under my arm and against my body. It is roomy enough for what I like to carry and sits nicely on the bottom when I put it down. I think you have come up with a practically perfect bag. Thank you! :-)

Laura!
I got the bag today and it is absolutely gorgeous!!! I am so so so pleased with it. I have done a little sewing in my time and as the granddaughter of a tailor, a few things were passed down to me to look for in terms of solid construction. All that is to say, I know you've got super skills!!!
Best,
Nina
Laura,
The weekender arrived on Saturday. It is beautiful. I will definitely be sharing your website with all my girlfriends.
Thank you so much.

I'm in love with the bag you had made for me and wanted to thank you so much for it:) From the moment I started using it, The Bang! bag seriously felt like "arm candy" as it is described! I personally am someone who always uses The North Face backpack when I go to work, but after one use of your bag, I was hooked! The Bang! bag can fit a lot of the stuff I "hoard" to work - I usually am the type who likes to carry a lot and this bag can hold my wallet, makeup bag, a book, a magazine, water bottle, lunch in a tupperware bowl, keys, ID, cell phone, snacks. . . seriously, I was amazed!
The quality and construction of the bag you made for me is awesome - and the fact that it's handmade makes it very special! I am going to take real good care of my new bag and will treasure it - I see it lasting a long time:) I will definitely look into purchasing from you in the future.

I received my Weekender Denim bag last week and I absolutely LOVE it! I have received numerous compliments on it as well! Thank you so much!
Jennifer
Your adorable bag was waiting for me when I got back from vacation --a lovely surprise to ameliorate the transition back to daily life. I love it!! I took it for a test drive to class yesterday, and it was fantastic -- I love the pockets. Thanks so much -- and I'll be back at your shop soon...
Best,
Seren
It's becoming harder and harder to find well-made American products (at reasonable prices) in this day and age. I'm glad to see you're keeping that alive. Best of luck with the business!

Received [the Pansy Maiden] sample bags yesterday. WOW!! Two of the MOST well-designed & sewn fabric bags I've ever seen! You do tremendous work!! The feel of these bags is just incredible - I'm in awe!
