The most amazing bag I've ever owned! Had a bit of drama with Auspost losing my parcel but the team were super helpful and got me a replacement so fast! I'd been eyeing off Bon Maxie for a while but when they dropped the luxury leather line I knew that was my sign! This bag is so thoughtful and considered that it perfectly carries everything I need and more. Ive had bags in the past that costs 10 times more with no where near the functionality. LOVE IT and will be back for more!
This bag is a gem! I was looking for something that I could carry crossbody that looked nice, worked for everyday/night/whenever but when you opened it there was space for holding some of my two year olds things. I don’t always want to carry a backpack and this bag holds that just a bit more without looking huge. It carries an extra outfit, water bottle, few snacks and comfort item easily. Plus the little items I would like to take with me too. The double bonus is the bag doesn’t collapse into you or look overstuffed. It holds the shape and for me that means that looking inside is easy. Plus the pockets, zippers and details! Clearly a bag with thought and considered those mums or women who just need a bag that does more than carry sunglasses but don’t want to carry a huge shoulder bag. You have a new customer because finally a brand who isn’t just making a bag for one stage of life!
I really like the colour of this bag. It’s a great light colour option for many outfits. The three compartments make it easy to keep everything organised, and the back pocket is perfect for slipping my phone into quickly. It’s definitely a large bag and fits a lot inside, though it’s probably a little too big.
Gorgeous bag! Plenty of room without being too bulky. Can dress it up or down! Love all the compartments, zipper areas, and key leash. Stands well on it's own and love that it has feet. This is a long term bag that I will use now and in the future and KEEP as it's timeless and fantastic quality
I don’t usually purchase bag, but this year I decided to buy something for myself and this one came across my ipad while I was browsing. I have seen so many but this one can’t get off my mind so I decided to buy it. It was delivered yesterday and I was so happy that I made that decision. It’s worth it🫶🏼
THANK YOU! I'm so happy you like this. This was certainly a labour of love with its design. Hope you continue to love it! Clare x
There are so many brilliant design and functional features in Clare's Tryhard that I was drawn to this bag immediately. I deliberated for several months because I was nervous about the price and returns policy at the time, but thankfully took the plunge during a sale and am very pleased I did.
I love the triple-compartment layout with a zipped section for organisation, the water-resistant lining, the perfectly sized key clip, handy internal and external zip pockets, secure clasp, and adjustable strap. The leather and hardware are luxurious, and the bag offers impressive capacity while still looking compact.
Highly recommend!
I’ve been looking for a bag that I can fit a couple nappies, wipes, spare outfit etc for when Bub and I are just ducking somewhere and don’t need the full nappy bag. Safe to say I’ve found it. This is amazing! I can fit bub’s stuff in the middle compartment and it even fits her red book in the back as well if needed. To say I’m impressed with this bag is an understatement! Love it! Thank you Clare!
Yay! I'm so happy you're happy, Nicci! xxx Clare
I’ve always been a fan of small everyday bags… in theory. In practice, they just never seem to work for me because I always want to pack in just a little more than what can fit in a little bag. Not the case with the tryhard though!! This can fit my iPad Pro 11” with Magic Keyboard and the Apple Pencil attached at the same time as my kobo Elipsa (huge ereader) without taking any of my usual stuff out and I could still fit more if I wanted. I absolutely love the separate sections and the ability to separate things in there so easily and the whole package is just straight up gorgeous and really solidly built, I can see this thing lasting me a super long time. Hiiiiiiiighly recommend, think I’m gonna be getting another one soon in the snakeskin print :)
Love this bag , the colour is beautiful and receiving many compliments.
So well designed for having a very well organised bag
I'm obsessed with this bag! I own the canvas LV pochette metis so knew I'd love this accordion style bag. It's taller than my LV and has more space for my things. Great all-rounder for work, travel and play! You've nailed it again Claire 👏🏼
Absolutely love my tryhard crossbody!! Such soft leather but so sturdy and surprisingly roomy!! I can fit everything without the bulk and weight!
Fabulous bag. Fits everything I need for a day out, including my water bottle and headphones. Looks sleek and stylish, and despite the amount of space, is still compact enough to be a comfortable crossbody. Clare, you're a genius! I love my Tryhard.
Love love love my new Burgundy TryHard!!!
It’s the deceptively large, quietly elegant day to night bag I needed!! Even the husband complimented both the colour and style.
Only thing I would change if I could, would be to change the rear zipped phone pocket to the magnetic closure phone pocket like the sidekick. But other than that, she’s perfect!!
This bag! 👩🏻🍳 💋. This is my 4th or 5th bon maxie and I will die on the hill telling people to buy one of these bags! This new addition- try hard cross body bag in burgundy is stunning. And it fits a book! The most important thing to this book lover! The design of any of Claire’s pieces are second to none.
Tryhard ? You dont even want to try very hard for you not to love this bag. So practical. Lovely leather detail and design.I want to buy in different colours. .
Thought about this bag for soo long. Finally bought it and it’s the best mid size bag ever!
Quality is fantastic and a lot of thought has gone into the design. Gorgeous bag - I take it everywhere.
Exactly what I was looking for! I am already a big fan of the sidekick bag. After purchasing a mirrorless camera recently I was looking for something a bit bigger that would fit my camera without being too big or looking like a camera bag. It's perfect!
Absolutely looooooooooooove it 😍💅💅💅💅💅💅 My Fave everyday go-to bag x
This bag is incredible. I have it in black and now in tan. The leather is excellent quality and looks expensive. It’s fits an impressive amount of things but doesn’t feel heavy. The mag closure is also very strong and easy to close. I love this bag so much.
This is a great everyday bag for someone with lots of bits to keep organised in their handbag who needs to have everything with them and be on point as to where everything is! A very easy colour to wear, the top handle just makes it easy to grab and go, a great 'running errands' and everyday bag.
