      Vini, good question. The site below that also has it cheap says it is supposed to be the roundest bag there is just like the expensive one says.



      They BOTH sure look nice and I wouldn't mind having one. Hopefully they are the same bag. Try the cheap one and if you don't like it, return it. This way you do all the work and we just sit back and wait for the answer.

      Let us know.

        The only difference I can see is the logo is white/red, the other being red.

        Sod it! For £13 and free postage, I just ordered one. A gamble I know but, I'll let you know what it's like. I was going to ask Santa for that bag, guess I'll be asking for another now.

                Not to sure mate. What is made in England nowadays? I was going to say Aston Martin's but even that ain't quite true.

                    Yeah, I was looking at the images of these bags and have to admit, they do look rather long. But for £13 I ain't going to complain.

                        I took delivery of the Lonsdale bag today. Well it isn't the same as the seller shows in the image. When I had it in my hands, I thought, it was going to be crap. The loop is a fabric, I think cotton. Then I had a go and it seems OK, for the price. It'll never be my favourite bag, can't beat the Everlast!

                            That confirms my query about the leather. I started to write about the feel in my last post, but thought I'd see what you said. As soon as I finished having a punch, I sent them a message too. Don't think I'm going to return it unless they offer me the same as the image. Joe had a hit and liked it, so I think am gonna keep it. Don't no how many times my bags have ended up on the floor, sometimes landing in dog pee! He can do whatever with this one.
