The leather pocket diary was lovely but I later realised that the insert was based in Italian, I checked out with Maxwell Scott and was informed that this is normal. Perhaps a choice of English or Italian diary could be offered in future, but otherwise it was just what I was looking for.

The Calvino 5 years later

I purchased The Calvino about 5 years ago. It goes to work with me every day and has traveled the US and Europe on business trips. The bag is as good now as it was the day I received it. I can't imagine having a better looking, higher quality bag. Its perfect for business people 'on the go'... not so slim that it only fits your laptop, and not so large that its too clunky to carry around.

I'd recommend the bag and the brand without reservation.... but it does seem that prices may have gone WAY up since I purchased yrs ago.

Thank you so much for your review, Scott! It is great to hear that the bag is still being used everyday and you are happy with the look and quality. Due to a few different factors such as manufacturing costs, and courier costs to the US, our prices have increased, but we do feel that this is in line with the general increase over the last 5 years. We really appreciate you taking the time to leave this positive review and hope to assist you again in the future. Charlotte Forshaw - Customer Services Manager

They were very quick with replying to emails and very helpful in regards to anything I asked. The only thing I didn’t like about them was they occasionally (but not very often) didn’t answer their calls (even though I called during their contact centre hours). There were some nights (because they’re 11 hours behind me) where I had to call FOUR TIMES for someone to answer!!!

Thank you for your kind words and for taking the time to share your experience. We're really glad to hear that you found our team helpful and responsive over email. We truly appreciate your feedback about the phone calls. As a small, family-run business with a tight-knit team, there are moments when we're away from our desks helping in other areas like shipping or handling deliveries. During these times, we may occasionally miss a call, however, we always check for voicemails and aim to follow up as quickly as possible.
In your case, since we were actively communicating via email at the same time, we believed everything was being addressed there. We completely understand how frustrating that must have been for you not receiving an answer to the calls, especially with the time difference. We're constantly working to improve our processes and availability, and your feedback helps us do just that.
Thanks again for your support. Charlotte Forshaw - Customer Services Manager
