The one purse that met my criteria!
Reviewed in the United States on December 8, 2016
I've been hunting a red leather purse for some time now but couldn't find one that met my needs. I wanted a bag that was red, large, leather, zippered across the top, stylish, well made, & reasonably priced. This is the ONE bag that met all the major criteria plus some minor ones. The zip compartment in the center wasn't on my major list but since this bag had one I needed it to be sewn to the lining at the side seams and at the bottom to keep small items from sliding underneath, it needed to be deep enough for my tablet and other flat items & it shouldn't get in the way of accessing the compartments on either side of it. Check, check, check... down the list I went so I bought it. It's a straightforward bag that won't wear out or go out of style tomorrow or maybe ever. The stitching is perfect, the leather is evenly dyed a true red, and it is not stiff but not like the butter soft leather that can be scarred, snagged or ripped. The lining is a rich color brown, not busily patterned with logo's like a lot I've seen. ( Bags like that can be visually overwhelming and make it hard to find stuff.) Even with the center zip compartment, the compartments on either side are very roomy and easy to access. There are no outside slots or storage compartments but my experience with those is mixed. Most times I find the outer compartments look great style wise but are pretty useless in terms of functional space so I didn't have that on my list of criteria. It has a crossbody strap which is nice but I'll probably never need it very often. It's not made in the USA but neither is my car...and the Chinese did a fine job on the Great Wall as I recall. The price was better than good...it was great! I'm very pleased with the purse and do recommend it to anyone who is in the market for a well made, roomy & functional purse. I'd never heard of the Bostanten but this baby is a keeper to me and when purse hunting in the future I will remember it. If your wanting a good purse for a great price, consider this one. I'm glad I got it!
Cute bag - it has grown on me

This purse is good quality and sturdy. The leather does not have a strong smell. I at first was unsure if I liked it because with really casual clothes it sort of has an appearance of a small, leather duffle bag or piece of luggage or brief case. But it has grown on me. I think it looks best with more professional clothes or something a step up from shorts and a t-shirt. It has lots of compartments to keep things organized, so I like that better than my old tote bag where everything floated around.

The handbag arrived and is more detailed than the picture. If you love lots of room and good sized pockets in your handbag. This is a good one to purchase. It is not as buffed and shiney as the picture shows. The pebble leather is great. Stitching is even and complete. Over all a really good find!
Defective handles

Nice leather and good pockets inside. My problem is the leather on ALL 4 handles began splitting and the return window is passed so Iâm stuck with a defective product. I wonât buy another purse from them.
I love the diversity

I love this bag more than I thought I would. It is very important for me to have a genuine leather handbag that is high quality but not featuring a particular brand name. This bag is the perfect size. I can fit everything I need and the straps can be worn on the shoulder, the crook of my elbow or in my hands. I love the diversity! On top of all of that I think it is beautiful!
Large red leather purse is awesome!

This purse is large. It is made of leather and the color is true and beautiful. I have already had several compliments on my bag--mostly in the realm of how classy it looks. It has a large middle zippered area and a phone pocket in one end (which is too small for my phone, but I put it in the open space), and a small zippered area for keys, etc. I am very happy with this classy and quality handbag! :)
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE IT!

Ordered this purse 2 days ago, received it today.... I must say I am very satisfied so far with this purse...itâs only been a day but the size, quality and aesthetics of the purse is excellent! I carried the purse to the store tonight and with the 2 handles it stayed on my shoulder without a strap falling down. The feel of the leather is amazingly soft yet the purse has good structure and is not so slouchy that everything falls to the bottom. The zippers all function very smooth. This is the purse Iâve been searching for. I never purchased a blue purse and was a bit hesitant but, I LOVE the color....BUT please make this same purse in black and/or brown for fall/winter,,,,PLEASE!!!

This is a nice spacious bag which will be perfect for work. I bought the blue and the colour is bright and vivid. A couple of things to know about this product . 1. The shoulder strap is very thin plus there is no second leather loop to keep the strap neat so the strap looks a bit cheap. 2. The zip does not look like it is good quality, I haven't used it much yet though so I will see how it goes

It is bigger than I expected - great for a day out with the kids and water bottles, tablets and cameras. But for daily use I find it difficult to even find my purse!

My other half picked this and allowed me to pay for it. Seems to like it and it has lasted well so far. Nothing has fallen off or stopped working so happy days
