*****I wanted to say that my lovely husband bought it for me as a surprise for my 70th birthday. I had my eyes on it for a long time. The Elm Handbag is stunning, beautiful, very practical, well crafted and in the American Leather so very soft. I am delighted with my bag and rate it 5 out of 5. So very happy.

*****Absolutely love this purse! It’s got lots of card space, plenty of pockets and 2 zipped areas. The leather is super soft and able to house change, cards cash and still do up! Not lost my Tesco Club card since having this fab purse (long story of having a super expensive purse that barely housed 2 bank cards and 75p in total) Perfect size and fits in your pocket (school run peeps you will know what I mean). Super quick service. Spruce Flap Over Ladies Wallet Dawn DReview Date Feb 4, 2022

****** A simply stunning and classic bag, beautifully made. I’ve had my eye on this bag for quite a while so I was over the moon when my sister asked for a “small but big enough to fit everything in, black bag” for Christmas! I’m now thinking I may need to get myself the green one as my sisters is so lovely. I already have the Hazel saddle bag in red/pink and we both have the beautifully soft wallets. A fantastic range throughout! Product Ash - Day to Evening Zip Around Bags, Katie RReview Date Jan 2, 2022

*****”I absolutely love my new metallic blue Ash bag, the quality of the leather is absolutely gorgeous-so so soft! This bag has been on my wish list for sometime the hardest part was choosing which colour. I went with the blue because it was different and will work well during the day and at night. I love all the attention to detail and added extras of purse, mirror and two different straps. I know that this bag is going to bring me so much happiness xxxx Thankyou xxxx “ 25 March 2021 Sarah

I love love love the metallic colour which is so versatile for daytime and evening along with the two different straps! The little mirror and card purse are so cute as extra little accessories. Totally blown away by how lovely this bag is. Already thinking another colour will need to be purchased for the summer! 😍

I also bought my hubby a leather wine cooler/ ice server for his birthday gift and he loved it! Again we are blown away by the quality. It is so gorgeous and is going to be lovely when entertaining again in the not so distant future after covid restrictions lift!” Emma on 02 March 2021

***** "Fabian's Leather Bags are just gorgeous! In my opinion they're every bit as stylish, and certainly as well made as many of the so-called "designer" products in the marketplace, today. Couple that with an aftersales service that exceeds the usual definition of 'excellent' and you have the perfect purchase. Nothing is too much trouble for Fabian, who even made me some additional strap loops for my bags-delivered to my home just a couple of weeks after our conversation at the Goodwood Revival this year. Unbelievable Service! Thanks you so much for your help." Carole 2nd October 2017

*****"Received the Elder wallet promptly, through the post, after finding Rufus Country at the Game Fair at Hatfield house. What do I say?

I have no problem in whole heartedly recommending Rufus Country and will be doing so to family and friends. Many thanks!" Nigel 22nd August 2017

*****"Larch Matinee Purse-Saw these first at Hatfield House Frost Fair last year. Beautiful Product. Bought for a friend's birthday gift. Very pleased." Sue 21st September 2016

*****"There are two aspects to any purchase:
1. is the product any good?
2. is the service good?
Having been let down badly by another company I came across Rufus Country and from the minute I contacted Fabian, they could not do enough for me even offering next day delivery to make sure the present arrived in time, which it did...AND ALL THIS WHILE HE WAS ON HOLIDAY!
and is the product any good? It looks beautiful, it smells divine and is made to an exceptionally high standard that other makers charge double for and I hunted round. Save yourself the bother and buy from Rufus Country. I do not work for them but I am extremely grateful to them." Iain 15th September 2016

***** "I bought the Fuxia ladies Matinee Wallet as a gift- it arrived very promptly and as described, the package included a branded box and a wallet bag all of great quality. It was very well received and although I cannot comment on the functionality ( as I won't be using it) it seems to have sufficient card slots and a couple of additional slots for notes and coins. Very happy with the purchase. It was a success!" Madalina 31st July 2016
