Great Everyday Carry-all

Because of other reviews I was afraid there would be a persistent odor coming fromantic this bag. It did have an odor when I opened it, though not terribly strong, but it dissipated rapidly. The bag is pretty large and looks more square. It fits a lot. Comes with one zipper bag and I ordered a multi compartment insert to organize better. I only use the shoulder straps that were already attached. The material looks like leather. In fact, it looks exactly like the material used for my Fossil bag. Got compliments from several girls at work. If you're in the habit of carrying everything you could need while out, or of carrying stuff for your kids, this is a great bag. I love it
Three year update - still a great work bag

***Edit: I have been using this bag now for nearly three years. Three - YEARS. It's still held up, I still get compliments on the look and size. It still holds my real purse plus a few drinks and lunch. I don't see myself buying another work bag any time soon.*** Very nice bag if you want to stop carrying two bags to work. Personally I wanted something that could hold my lunch, wallet, and large headphone case. I like the inner zipper bag, as well. The inner zipper compartment is removable or can be snapped in for security. It has two slip pockets for your cell phone, keys, whatever, and inside of the zipper compartment bag there is an additional, smaller zipped slip pocket. On the inside of the bag itself there is another zippered slip pocket but the pocket doesn't go down as far as it looks like it should. It's not very deep at all - as if the lining was sewn too short. And speaking of the lining, it's not great - it's passible. The lining (which is inside the removable zipper pouch, on the removable bag bottom insert, and inside the zipper slip pocket) is as described in the bag's name - "waterproof," which can be translated as "noisy!" I wish it were cloth. It's not necessary for it to be such cheap nylon. Inside of the removable zipper pouch there is an additional strap for the bag, this is a short shoulder strap that is easily attachable to the hooks that are riveted onto the snaps that hold the zipper pouch in place. The additional shoulder strap was a super nice surprise. I'm not sure if I'll use it yet but I will if the handles break. The handles of the bag are attached by spring loaded hooks, these hooks seem quite cheap but will do the job. Since the bag is riveted here, it would be super easy to replace those hooks with more sturdy carabiner clips (because that's what they are, just cheaper...) I'll use the ones that came with the bag until they break. The handles and the extra strap match the bag and are also well constructed. The bags general construction and seaming is really nice. I like the bag a lot. I purchased black, the black with the inner brown is as pictured. All-in-all I still give the bag 5 stars because for this price this is a much, much nicer bag than I expected. I believe that I can get at least a year, possibly two, out of this. One more thing - the bottom of this bag is amazingly large, I love it. And the bag's height is shorter than you'd expect with a bag so wide. Buy it if you need a work carry-all and don't want to fork out a hundred bucks.
Not a happy ending!

At first I absolutely loved this bag! I got tons of compiments on it. But after using it for about a month the clasp came apart so now I can't use it because it' feels unbalanced when I use the middle strap. Really disappointed because I loved everything about this bag otherwise..
Broke after a few months :-(

I really liked this bag. I used it several times a week for week. But I've only had it for a few months and today while I was walking down the street, the metal on the ring/clasp for my shoulder strap broke right in half and my bag went flying! :-( Now I can't use the shoulder strap, which is why I bought the bag in the first place. Hopefully this was a defect and the seller will offer to make this right... Because as I mentioned I really did like it.
Very Park Avenue!

September 2016. Just opened this tote (in black) and I'm in love. I had just set aside my Sundance Catalog, a brand dedicated to handcrafted clothing and accessories for people who are willing to spend extra money for extra quality, and more specifically, for products sourced locally with integrity. Well, hypocrite that I am because at $35.99, I can assure you this great looking bag is no doubt made in China... I'm not even going to look! I can't wait to pop my stuff in it and fly to Chicago tomorrow with this GREAT looking bag over my shoulder. Both the hand-handles as well as the shoulder strap attachment fit over the shoulder, a plus! The leather (is it pleather?) is soft and supple but just firm enough to stand softly upright. It looks just as good as the $230 bags in the Sundance catalog - so thrilled that I took the gamble and ordered this bag. Honestly at this price, maybe some of the reviews will be right and the handles will crack in a few months ... um, $35.99? No one is promising you anything more here than a great looking bag (even the interior has integrity and three zip sections!) This bag looks expensive and well made. Love the super simple hardware... very Coach in it's simplicity. Happy!
Excellent Bag!

I was highly impressed with this bag and it truly exceeded my expectations. I normally don't do reviews but simply had to. After reading thru many reviews I ordered this bag for my intentions to use as a tote for traveling. Upon opening the bag it had no smell, packaging was very nice and even had a felt bag that you can put the tote back in to store away (felt bag is nothing fancy) The straps came protected with plastic, a shoulder strap was stored away in the clutch bag that you can unsnap if you want to take out the middle. If you are looking to order this bag you will not be disappointed. I even received a 1.50 discount upon ordering. Shipping was even fast received in two days (prime)! The bag does sit up on its on once shape is form with the items and will not flop over.

I am a bit of a bag snob & only bought this to drop my best suede bag into when it rained. I have to say, I am impressed. Yep, it's pretend leather, yes, it does look a little like faux leather, but it was such a bargain. The interior pocket is great & the pouch is tres useful. Worth every penny. The hardware is brass effect, no idea how long it will last, but for this price, what's to complain about. It looks really good.Well packaged (handles had poly bags on them, a foam "sausage" in the folds it didn't arrive creased & all in a "cloth" bag.Dare I say it, it's becoming a favourite.

The bag itself looks great and has plenty of storage, with a removable zipped section and another pocket on the inside back. However, my only complaint is that the long strap doesn't seem especially sturdy where it connects into the bag itself and sure enough, one of the fasteners snapped after a few weeks when I didn't have a huge amount in the bag. It is now probably two months since I bought this bag, have been using it daily, but one of the handles has now started to fray. I would probably pay the same in Primark, but those are normally expected to last a season and I am not convinced this one will.I would say it is a great bag for the price, but maybe not an everyday bag, especially if you load it with stuff. Or maybe I have just been unlucky.

I love this bag, bought it as a replacement for a red bag I had for many years.The colour is an exact match, roomy enough for all your bits and pieces and comfortable straps. 2 separate pockets inside which close to keep your valuables.I would highly recommend and delivered in a matter of days.Update OCT all the black piping has now come off so the bag is only usable for a matter of a few months

I ordered this same bag in black a few years ago and it was only when it was truly well used & fell apart I said good bye ! This time I went for the green which looks like the sellers photos. Its not leather and you can see that but fingers crossed the quality is still up to par as the one previously bought. This is a large bag with the usual side zip but often having a large bag you can be shuffling around for ages to find stuff. However there is a little "gem" inside. There is a separate "bag" which is around the size of a large detachable cosmetic/toiletries bag which also has separate little side pockets inside. Everyone will use this differently but I use it to store my purse, mobile things that I do not on show to the "nosey"/"prying" eyes lol. For the price I think its good value almost a 2 in one. I would have given 5 stars but one of the clasps on the detachable bag not snap closed but not enough to return.

I was a little skeptical about buying a bag on amazon but god was I wrong, I love this bag! Just the perfect size for my folders and my everyday pieces and storage is kept clean with the little removable bag, very sturdy and love the choice of the 2 straps. Definitely recommend to others
