Oh and you may have to change the page to English because it is in Italian. And yes the handle is removable.

Re: GILI convertible backpack has arrived!

I looked more closely and honestly do not know how you can purchase the backpack from their site or how you can translate anything. I do not think you can do any of those. You prob would need to be some company buying from them. I am not sure... Maybe someone else knows. They have a Facebook: Carol J. Gianni Notaro. Btw all made in Italy.

I cannot locate any link to translate the page into English. Were you able to do that and if so, which link did you use?

Re: GILI convertible backpack has arrived!

I am the OP of this post, and after 10 days of use, I am loving this bag more every day. The rolling leather on the flap has settled down and lies flat. The large zipper compartment is better than a phone pocket. This bag is beautiful, functional and I am loving it.

Also, in the 10 days I have carried this bag, I have received 4 compliments and inquiries into where I purchased it. The backpack style appears to be very popular and not easy to find anywhere.

I am not a big QVC TV watcher, and have not watched Lisa's shows. I do get QVC e-mails, and loved the look of this bag in the link to her YouTube video.

The only thing I would do differently than in the video is this:

When using this bag as a backpack, turn the bag so the flap opening is against your back. there is no way to secure the flap so that a pickpocket could not easily steal your stuff. I would have liked a clasp instead of a magnet closure.

Is there any way to get on a wait list for this bag? I love it!

Glad you like your new bag. I am not a fan of backpacks unless hiking.

It can be worn as a shoulder bag, on the arm, crossbody and also as a backpack. The long straps are removable, which makes this bag versatile. It is unusual to find a large bag in a cross body.
