First let me say that I spent a really long time researching other bags that were similar to this one. This was the style I was looking for and I just couldn't go through with purchasing the others because they had negative reviews as well as good ones but the negatives were enough to turn me off. This bag has not disappointed me at all! I even bought the Blue one for my sister since I thought it would be nice for her to have a beautiful purse to take to her new job. The two reviewers that posted videos of the bag were of help, so I provided a lot of pictures because I felt they didn't show the bag broken in. I hope my review is helpful! Here are the things that sold me about this purse and everything I love about it after having it.1. I really liked the color (brown/orange) and it was true to the pictures they provided except the Blue one is much darker than in the pic.2. It is HUGE! It is a true tote that can easily hold a laptop, ipad, or notebooks/books although I don't think you'd want to overload it. I also love the divider in the center that has a zipper so you can put things in there you may not want exposed.3. All of the hardware is very nice and sturdy. Zippers open and close with ease and seem to be of good quality. The interior has a nice lining that feels like silk but much sturdier. Also, the pockets inside for your phone or whatever are binded with leather (see pic) and it gives it a nice touch.4. The leather looks and feels AMAZING. My bag also did not have a "chemical" smell and neither did my sisters bag. I made sure to ask her. Other people mentioned a smell but mine just smelled like new leather. Once I placed my stuff in the bag it straightened up nicely and stays standing (see pic).I absolutely LOVE my bag and am thinking of getting the Wine colored one soon. Pictures do not do this bag any justice. It has a deep orange and brown color that's just beautiful and not as bright in person. The leather feels soft and is shiny without looking "fake". It matches my wallet perfectly as you can see in the pic and I am so happy with it! My sister loves hers as well and will be using it for school too. The shipping was fast and on time which I am so glad for because I could not wait to receive this bag! Definitely would recommend this bag to anyone looking for something nice and economically priced!

You can buy this bag with confidence! I am considering buying one in every color! Features that I love:* beautiful, supple leather (one reviewer said it wasn't genuine leather...don't know what they were talking about);* adjustable straps so I can wear comfortably as a shoulder bag or carry as a handbag;* outer zippered pocket can accommodate phone, keys and work ID;* inner divider zippered pocket for secure carrying;* inner side pockets for easy access (lipstick! phone! pen! quick, no digging!)* very thoughtful design detail -half ring to keep the tail of the adjustable strap from flopping aroundI needed a smart, chic bag to carry to work. The picture shows things I usually carry: wallet, makeup bag, water bottle, and shoes (I wear walking shoes then change at the office). Everything fits perfectly...and the bag still zips with all those things! I can even fit a couple of 8"x11" files (vertically). The bag isn't padded so if you need to carry a laptop or ipad, be careful. The bottom does not have knobs or "feet" but the bag stands on its own, full, nicely, but be careful what surface you place it on. All in all a lovely bag. Feel free to contact me with questions!

"El bolso es de cuero de muy buena calidad. El forro interior es resistente con todos los bolsillos igual que se ve el la foto.Las costuras con el acabado perfecto. El tamaño es grande y muy cómodo para llevar todo lo que necesito.Encaja en el look clásico y el look casual. Para el cuero que es no pesa mucho, es rÃgido, ideal para este tipo de diseño del bolso.Se nota que va a durar mucho tiempo.Estoy encantada con la compra.Después de ver muchos bolsos en Amazon he hecho la elección perfecta."Era mi mensaje después de comprar el bolso. Ya ha pasado 5 meses. Los bordes del bolso empiezan agrietarse. No es piel, porque la pies no tiene esta textura - se estira, pero no agrieta asÃ; se ve una cosa de textil blanco dentro de las grietas. Es una imitación muy buena, pero es un engaño. Estoy muy enfadada. Me gustarÃa que Amazon tenga una parte de la responsabilidad de este engaño!

I am satisfied with this purchase. I searched and waited for a long time to buy a nice leather tote and this is the one.The price was very good for the quality of the leather and the color was exactly what I saw in the picture, the zipper was smooth, the shoulder straps were adjustable and the size of the bag was just what I needed for my daily casual look.The only thing that bothered me for few days was new leather and chemical odor which went away after few days but I know a lot of leather products have that kind of odor so it is something that future buyers don't need to worry about.I am pleased with this new bag and planning on buying more bags from this company.

Such good quality thick leather. Colour is stunning. It fits more things in than my last bag and that bag looked bigger! Its stays slim but fits all you need. I even fit in a litre bottle of squash in it stood up! Came next day although it was free delivery and was so well packaged. May get another colour now. (Mug in photo for size)

I purchased this bag and have to say that I love it! It has lots of room, an added zipped pocket in the middle and a pocket on the outside that I use for my phone. I really like the color and the long straps. It's great! I will purchase another one.

I purchased the olive colored bag and am very happy with it. The olive color is muted and attractive. I love the size/height of the bag (large without being overwhelming). The leather feels solid, and I love that it has a center divider with a zipper which helps keep things easily accessible. It has 2 inside pockets for cell or other items, as well as a smaller inside and outside zippered pocket. For the price, I would buy it again

Ordered this for my mum who was after a new leather bag with a reasonable price tag. She adores this, it is a very big bag and is well made.Please note, the top interior above the zip is exposed and is unfinished leather, this however is not an issue for my mum.

This is probably the nicest tote bag I have ever bought, and also terrific value for money as it is real leather. It is lovely and roomy inside and can hold loads of shopping and a great feature is that you can zip the top up, which saves all your stuff falling out and also means you don't have to carry a handbag as well as you can safely put a wallet in it without fear of it being lifted out of an open bag. i love the shoulder straps too - I have to use a walking stick and this frees up one arm!I will keep a look out for other products by S-Zone, as this product is amazing value and looks fantastic too. Also, it is beautifully made - the finish is extremely high quality. I love it!

This bag is beautifully made and the leather is thick and shows no blemishesVery good value for money. It was delivered the next day and was very well packaged, with a synthetic cloth bag to store it in when not in use.It has a large capacity (will easily fit my tablet or thin laptop) as well as all the other bits and pieces I normally carry about in my handbag. It has 2 pockets inside that fit my phone and a small notepad & pen (but would also fit an Oystercard or other travel or work pass) on the inside which is easily accessible, as well another zipped pocket on the insdie and one on the outside. It also has a sturdy zip at the top to ensure that all insdie is secure.It is comfortable to carry and will stand up on its own when it is put down on the floor.Very happy with my purchase.

This is my second S-Zone bag, and I couldn't be happier! I have a feeling I'll be getting black or dark brown in the Fall.The leather is supple and sturdy, and the craftsmanship is beautiful.Lots of space inside for everything I carry on a daily basis ( a 31 wallet, a 31 pouch, sunglasses, keys, etc), and still room for my bullet journal and a book in there. The center zippered pocket even fits two extra reusable shopping bags.Not too big, not too small ... absolutley perfect for my daily needs.

Gorgeous, Lovely colour, much better than the photo, it's well made, gorgeous to look at.. a great size, just what I wanted to carry my work tech around, but it is so nice I will use it at weekends also.. so soft to the touch... As you can see I love it! The only criticism, I have is it could have done with some metal studs on the bottom, for when you put it on the ground...but hey that's just my preference... I adore my new bag and will buy from this seller again!Even got a money off voucher hidden away inside the bag, it you buy again..and that was a nice surprise too .. Thank you

So so happy with this beautiful bag! The leather is of good quality, something I was worried about given the price. The straps adjust nicely to suit my needs. I can carry as a shoulder bag without it 'banging' about.

Love this bag, the colour is great, the capacity inside is just right and to my delight (because I dislike bags with both long straps and short handles), these handles are just the right length to fit on the shoulder comfortably. Nothing worse for me to have a bag of this size flapping around the thighs. The quality is great too, in fact I'm thinking about getting another one in a different colour.

Really good bag! A great buy for the reasonable price. If, like me, you practically live out of your handbag and stash all sorts of things in pockets in the bag, you'll love it. Great quality, beautiful colour and it IS leather, not an imitation. Couldn't be more pleased with it. I will likely buy another this Autumn in a different colour. The finish is smooth and even and the array of colours is appealing. Well worth buying.

Slim handles to easliy carry it over the shoulder and sections inside for phone etc and internal zip compartment. the main part of the bag has a zip across the top to keep everything secure inside. I love it and would highly recommend to get it if you are hesitating!!!!

Fantastic product.We chose a blue one; it is very distinctive in a subtle way and beautiful quality leather. There are plenty of internal pockets, and a folder can fit easily landscape or portrait in the bag. The picture on the advert gives the impression it is huge.... it isn't huge but is a perfect size.

AS other reviewers have commented there is a smell. I have tried leaving it outside in the fresh air , and spraying the lining, as I think the smell is inside. It is unpleasant and I should have returned it.Looking at other reviews it seem not all bags have this unpleasant smell. It seems pot luck .I would not buy again for this reason, and it is disappointing that the suppliers/manufacturers have made no comments that I have seen .I would not buy S-Zone bag again.
