It's a really nice looking bag! I was looking for a new bag for my work laptop as I travel a lot for work and always bring my laptop with me. It fits my laptop well and also a couple books, iPad, mouse, and there's still space left. The brown color is really nice and it looks professional. I don't care too much for the hidden compartment or whatever and the zipper in the middle is kind of useless too. It doesn't really do much as a divider because it's so thin. The bag itself is really fluid and slouchy as you can see in my picture that I can easily fold it in half. I was hoping it was a little more firm than that because it's easier to store my laptop in a more solid bag but this will do. Couple things I didn't like about the bag... the strap is very too long. I always look for purses and bags with a cross body strap and this one is just too long even at the shortest hole. I may have to just ditch the long straps and use the shoulder straps. And also I'm not sure why but the strap is missing the little secondary loop that keeps the strap in one piece (you know what I'm talking about?) so the cross body strap's excess strap is just all over the place as shown in the picture. But I like the look of the bag and $60 isn't too bad so I'm gonna keep it. Overall it's a nice looking bag and it fits everything I need in there.
Straps Engineered to Fail

I was seduced by the charming testimonial about material and craftsmanship. HOWEVER someone at this handbag pop-up needs to learn how to design a purse. In a nutshell, the teensy little grommets on the straps do all the heavy lifting, and after less than a month of use, the straps failed on the buckle side at the grommet. To repair or not? I think not, for several other frustrating reasons. The interior pocket is too shallow for practical use, and the little exterior pocket is too small for anything (well, I had been using it for my parking pass card). Plus the weird way the shell and liner were grommeted together created a frustrating condition of ersatz exterior pockets-not. Even more weirdness, the leather is clearly belt leather, not the type of hide typically used for fashion bags and totes. The hardware finish is reminiscent of a 2008ish finish used on for-retail designer bags, so repair/replace options on the failed straps is slim to none. Hopes were high and the color is delightfully neutral. Sadly, huge waste of money (returns accepted only if new and unused). Shame, shame, shame!
What a pleasant surprise!

To tell the truth I wasnât expecting a great deal since the price was so economical. Mind you itâs rare that I write a review like this. But I was so pleased with this bag! The leather is actually very nice quality. The bag itself is terrific for me ( I carry too much stuff around...admittedly) but it is a great size, nicely compartmentalized and best of all - it zips shut ( I am always worried about things spilling out).I am totally unfamiliar with the brand, but nicely done! I will most likely buy more of their bags in the future.
Love the color!

I really like this bag, itâs a bit smaller then I thought but not a deal breaker. Seems very sturdy which is good since its for work. The color is amazing and over Iâm very happy with this purchase!
I absolutely LOVE this purse

I absolutely LOVE this purse. I was hesitant to buy a purse online without being able to see/touch it first, but this proved to be an excellent purchase. Things I love about it:- Fits my phone in the outer pocket- Fits my 13" Mac Air- Fits a couple notebooks and a waterbottle or even light jacket- sufficient small inner pockets for holding my wallet, sunglasses, lip balm and change- I love the inner "iPad pocket" with the zipper that divides the bag. I use it to store things that I keep "just in case" but don't use every day (tampons, bobby pins, eyeglass cloth, travel size deodorant, etc). I like that it keeps those items stored separately (not in my way) and you can barely see it in the bag when it's zipped up.I was afraid it would be too slouchy, but if I have a book and my laptop in there, it keeps its shape.And the leather is beautiful. Overall a great buy!
Spacious, soft and practical

The leather is very soft ans shiny. Way shinier than black leather shoes that I own. It has may povkets and for a few days the zipper is fine. Love it.
Great buy!

This is a nice bag. I am used to carrying the Louis Vuiton Neverfull GM, so one of my problems is that totes just usually arenât big enough for me. This *is* visibly smaller than the GM but large enough to carry everything my GM carried. Itâs real leather-even has the smell. Leather does not look cheap. Itâs not ultra-shiny nor is it pebbled-more like a textured look up close with a nice sheen from further away. I almost went with a pricier handmade leather tote because I worried the inside of this purse was that cheap cardboard-type base covered by flimsy material. Not so. Itâs more like a canvas lining and the interior pocket is trimmed in leather. I really like that the look of this bag hints at a vintage/boho vibe but still is 100% professional-looking. The handle straps are big enough to wear it with a coat or sweater and I like that b/c I donât have super skinny upper arms. Iâm 5â7 and the long shoulder strap is definitely a tad long on me even on the shortest hole. A tad long but dooable-esp if I wear it as a crossbody. It would be nice if a tab was included on the strap to keep the extra buckle length flush with the rest of the strap, but itâs not a deal-breaker. I might use a hair pony to keep it on there, and then Iâll always have an extra! For the price I like the look and size. I think Iâll get the other 2 colors and still be about $1300 under what a Louis Vuitton runs! Great buy.
Great Purchase!

This purse is a real buy at it's price. It has everything I look for in a bag for the most part. It doesn't have feet on the bottom as they say quality bags should have but the leather is beautiful, the straps have a nice generous drop, and I love the pocket on the outside, a feature I always look for as is the zippered closure. It's on the big side but very light for all of the leather. I am very pleased with this puchase.

Exceeded my expectations! The other reviews are right, this bag is even better in person. I took a chance ordering online and wasnât sure what I was going to get, but itâs better than I expected - great quality, great material and the colour is perfect! My only complaint is that I wish it was a little bigger and the middle zippered pocket could be moveable/removable.

this yaluxe vintage style soft leather tote shoulder bag purse for women was utterly disgusting it smelled horrible and the leather is not so soft money thrown away would have cost just as much to return this if there was anyway to return it plus it wasn't real leather it looks better on the pic than what it actually is there should not be a star for this

I have been looking for a well made tote to use for an upcoming trip to Europe. This will hold everything I need for the flight without having to carry a purse too. I will get plenty of use out of it all year long. The stitching is well done and appears to be very well made.

as soon as I unpacked it and unzipped the top zipper for the first time it broke, the pull for the zipper cant even re-attach. The fabric is nice as well as the interior, but the primary zipper breaking upon first use is very disappointing l, especially for a 40$ purse. Had it been cheaper I could understand, but this was pretty pricey so I'm quite disappointed. :(
