Beautiful Purse
Reviewed in the United States on June 18, 2015
I ordered the Scarleton Quilted Satchel in Brown on June 6, 2015 and it arrived in a timely fashion on the estimated date of June 11, 2015. It was wrapped in a mesh cloth with a thin piece of cardboard to support the bottom of the purse and came with a clip on strap. I was worried that some harm might have come to the purse as the box it came in was damaged on one side (though that was the fault of UPS and not the seller) but luckily it was fine!The purse is very beautiful and looks well made. The bag is structured well, especially the bow! The color is true to the picture and the stitching is very good. There are no loose pieces of thread that I needed to cut off, but there is a small place on the left side where it looks like black thread was used instead of the brown that is on the rest of the purse. It is very minuscule though and you wouldn't notice it unless you had your eye hovering right above the spot. All of the zippers work smoothly and have a good weight to them. None of the metal on the purse or strap feels cheap or is flaking or discolored. The clips on the strap aren't crooked or bent and clip firmly to the purse. The middle zipper pouch of the purse isn't sewn into the bottom and can actually be lifted up slightly, which I prefer! The purse is a good sized handbag and has enough room for everything you'd need to carry going about your day to day life.All around a lovely purse and a great deal, I definitely plan to purchase it in additional colors!
Love it!

I love this bag! It looks exactly as pictured. It's very spacious. I've gotten several compliments on it already :-).
Built to last, cute retro appeal!

I bought this purse as my first official "big girl" purse since becoming an adult. I've always used cloth/linen satchels or stupid backpacks from Hot Topic and I decided to take the next step towards adulthood by getting a more mature-looking bag. This bag delivers on that front, definitely. It looks identical to the picture, so what you see is what you get. The material is very luxurious-feeling, leathery and firm, and strong enough to stand up to your day-to-day life. On the inside, there's a decent amount of room for whatever any average woman could want to carry... wallet, sunglasses, phone, medicines, makeup, tissues, keys, maybe even an iPad depending on which model you have.The zippers and long chain are made of a nice strong brass, which accentuates just about any color this bag comes in (particularly black, the one I bought). The bow on the front of the bag is firmly attached, so there's a very low likelihood that any casual brushing up against a stranger in a subway or dropping the bag on the ground will detach it and leave the bag looking awkward. It's a strongly made bag, definitely quality craftsmanship involved in its creation. My only grievance (which, admittedly, is solved with the usage of the long strap) is that the two small straps don't have enough room for me to bring the bag up to my shoulder. I know it's not a tote, and my arms ARE a little chunky, but it just feels weird having to have one hand completely occupied with a purse if I'm walking somewhere. Then again, the manufacturer was lovely enough to provide the alternative shoulder strap, so it's not much of an issue for me.This bag is so, so classy. And very tough. I imagine I'm going to have it around for a good long while, because of its universal design and strong engineering. And the price was just right. I'd say 8/10 overall.(by the way, if this review helped you in any way, feel free to click the "helpful" button below!)

Looks just like the picture, is the perfect size for me, and all the things I'll be putting into it. My mom was skeptical about purchasing anything on amazon besides books and movies, but she agrees that the bag is cute and not at all cheap looking.No scratches or harm done. Also came earlier than expected. Would recommend.
Wow! The price has doubled!!! Was $29.99 for years!!

I have purchased this numerous times. The reason I have to purchase it so many times is because while itâs cute, itâs stinky quality!! It falls apart incredibly fast! The strap breaks off, the zipper breaks, and it shows wear everywhere!! That being said, Now that I see that the price has literally doubled from $29.99 to $59.99, there is no way I would buy this again!! Itâs fine for $30. Itâs totally overpriced for $60. That strikes me as incredibly greedy!!! Very Scrooge-like to do it over the holiday season. I think itâs time IInvest in in a cute, but high-quality bag! So, if you pay $60 for this, please keep all this in mind.
Review of the Scarleton Quilted Satchel with Bow - Black
Reviewed in the United States on July 6, 2017
I've had this purse in my watch list for quite some time now and decided to buy it before my husband and I went on a trip. For the most part I think its a lovely little handbag and am quite pleased with the way it looks. I do have a couple of issues though, for example: the yellow gold accents I'm not a fan of. Any jewelry I wear is white gold, and therefore I would have preferred the zipper enclosures and the four studs on the bottom as being silver. It's not really obvious from the front or back of the purse itself, but when on your arm the gold can easily be seen by those people who are facing the sides of it. My other complaint would be the handles: one handle stays halfway up and the other falls right down. Other than that I am very happy with the way the bow looks on the front and the quilting too. It's not as large inside as what I'm used to and feels a bit snug, but there's a nice side pocket that fits my iPhone Plus and there's enough room for my 8" Kindle Fire as well. Overall I'm happy with my purchase and think its worth the $29.99 I paid for it =)
Adorable purse...Terrible quality!

I purchased this purse in silver and loved it so a while later decided to buy it in black, but put it away until I wanted to use it because well, I have 20-purses! Lol First thing that happened was the little section with the zipper in the middle of the purse broke off...ok, I can deal with that then whil I was walking through the grocery store my purse fell to the ground because the shoulder strap (metal piece) broke off the side of my purse...how terribly embarassing to have my purse drop to the floor in front of someone while they are walking and scare the crap out of them? I am very disappointed with this purse and from this experience will NEVER again purchase from this seller again!

I used it for two days now and I must say that it is quite nice to carry around as an everyday purse. The middle zippered pocket on the inside does not extend all the way to the bottom of the bag, so your items such as keys could be reached quite easily no matter which section you stick your hand in. The strap adjusted long enough to use as a crossbody or as a shoulder strap. The material is quite nice, but the colour was just a shade darker than expected, but I had no problem with that. I am glad I made this purchase. I look forward to purchasing others from this brand.

It's so cute. It will be great for special occasions.Unfortunately, when it was time to use it, it didn't work out. I put a few things in and the zipper didn't close.To the point I was having difficulty all day. It finally didn't zip close anymore.Had to return it.Went from 5 stars to 1 star.

Just got my purse and it's a bit smaller than I thought but I'm the type of person who has a lot of stuff in their purse... so I think this will teach me to be more simple. Love it! Read others reviews before buying and the convinced me. Really really cute! Only thing I wish is if it could come with silver metal instead of gold...but this purse is so cute I think i can overlook it for a bit. Arrived on time, would buy from the company again. Wish it came in bright pink or darker purple!

Adorable, spacious satchel, get lots of compliments on it. Pretty durable - the shoulder strap only started to wear off after ~2 years of continuous use.
