Love this bag! I'm not a large bag person as I try and limit the things I carry, however since having a boyfriend I find I carry for him too. Based on the photo I was concerned the bag would be too large, it's perfect & roomy. Fits perfectly under my shoulder I almost forget it's there. The bag is easy on the eyes and has enough interior pockets. If you need to there is plenty of room for a makeup bag or two. The quality of the bag is very good for the money also. I just got it today so I shall see how she holds up.
Mixed bag of a little pro and a lot of con
Reviewed in the United States on November 15, 2018
Well, was really excited to receive the bag until I received the bag.Definitely overpriced. Read on, if you have a minute:~ First issue is that it was shipped in a poly bag which meant that they folded it up flat which, in turn, created a horizontal crease along the bottom 1/3 of the bag. Horizontal creases and I do not play well together; instantly, the bag was cheapened. Ugh.~ Second issue was that the "leather" is extremely thin. It doesn't look like it is going to be but it is. As it has no lining, which was expected, this overly thin material just crumples down like you expect fabric to to do...not "leather". It has a hard bottom but what good does that do if the sides are falling down to the table??~ Third issue is the construction. Initially, it appears that everything is, at least, constructed well so if nothing else, will be workable with a liberal amount of patience and tenacity applied. Not so. The top zipper section is not actually sewn to the sides of the bag and the ends of the two sides of the zipper flaps do not have finished edges; they are raw like when you initially cut material for a project...should at least have a sewn or melted edge to prevent tearing. This also lends to zero structure/support along the top area which makes it difficult to zip and only bolsters the floppy, flimsy nature of the bag. Ugh.Now...onto the appearance; this is where it gets some stars.~ The color is gorgeous, being a deep, dark, warm chocolate that is trimmed in a lighter tan that actually compliments the darker shade without looking glaringly offset. This deep chocolate is a hard color to find so this is the majority of the stars.~ The stitching is evenly done so it does give the illusion to a solid, quality design.~ The handles are quite well done in their style and execution: they are a twisted braid that has consistency in the layout of the dark/light colors, making it look really quite snazzy and unique without being trendy (trendy becomes dated quickly). These handles are attached underneath hardware so they probably won't tear away as easily as the low-grade material suggests will occur.~ The hardware is a bit shinier than I would like but still looks nice, all the same. It has detail of a slot in the same manner as a large screw head; so, kind of a neat detail.~ The tassels, themselves are nicely done, in so far as the color and fullness; their finish, however, is lacking. They appear as if they ran out of material, creativity, money, or all three, as they don't have any material covering the "assembly" of the tassel; i.e., they are just rolled up fringed material that has nothing covering the material's cut edge or a finish piece at the top of the tassel where it connects to the hanging strand. Honestly, for any price, there should have been a bead to cover that area and a strand to wrap around and hide the cut edge; just looks unfinished in a sloppy way. Since the bag is so, so thin and floppy, the tassels are overbearing; had it been a thicker material, they would have been suitable.~ The material, while notably thin, does not look fake, oddly enough. It isn't until you pick it up or take out storage stuffing that the low quality is front and center (I fully stuff every bag I own, when not in use). Because it does pass the "visually doesn't appear fake" test, it gets part of a star.All that said, if I keep the bag, it will lose one of the tassels and the remaining tassel's problems will be "finished" and length shortened slightly. Additionally, the zipper area will be adhered to the sides so as to provide some smoothness to the open and close as well as provide a modicum of structure to the top. Honestly, totally on the fence on whether it will be kept; color is very hard to find but fixing it will take time, which I do not possess and for what I paid, while not a huge amount but $$ nonetheless, I shouldn't have to be finishing/fixing my bag before I can use it. SIGH. What to do, what to do....So, three stars for color, appearance when stuffed, and some detailing. And that is being generous as it won't let me give 2.5.
GREAT BAG! Suits all my picky needs

I LOVE THIS BAG. I have pretty specific requirements for my bags, and this one perfectly fits the bill. Iâm a larger woman and need a big bag because small bags look ridiculous on me. This bag is BIG but doesnât âwearâ big, if you know what I mean. Itâs not the kind of bag that people gawk at when they see it due to its enormity.My requirements include:1) Neutral tones that will more or less go with everything because I only switch my bag out occasionally2) No center pocket. Most of my belonging are in smaller zippered bags and not only do I not need a center pocket, it gets in my way mostly and takes away from the overall space3) Interior and exterior wall pockets. I need a place to stash my phone and a couple of smaller items and so this is a must. I have another bag that I really like but it has ZERO pockets and I canât use it because of that. I do wish the 2 slip pockets in this bag were a little bigger because I cannot fit my iPhone 8plus in them. No biggie because I just put it in the zippered pocket but would prefer to use the slip pockets instead.4) Stylish. I may be a 40 something, but I still like to look good! This bag has lots of tassels and ties, which are pretty on trend right now. Donât know how well theyâll hold up, but Iâm reasonably sure that if I need to relive them, the overall look of the bag would still be fine.5) Light colored interior. There is nothing worse than trying to find something in a large black interior bag because you just canât see things as well. The interior of this bag is striped and adorable.For this price, you canât go wrong.
Love this!

LOVE IT!! I'm super picky about purses and only buy a few per year. I decided to not spend a ton of money this time and I'm so glad I bought this one! It looks way more expensive than it is and it's super big. The only downfalls are the side inside pockets are a little small (they don't fit phones or barely sunglasses), and the handle is a little short, but it works! Definitely recommend.
Wrong color!

This was supposed to be dark brown, it came in greenish grey. The color is terrible. I thought maybe it was just a mistake but I had ordered 2 and they both came in the same way!
Happy with my purchase

I've had this purse about a month so far. It was a lot bigger than I expected. I also receive a lot of compliments on the purse. The color is really spectacular & the lining fabric is striped, soft & flexible. 1 zipper pocket and 2 opened pockets for smaller items, like a phone, keys, etc on the inside. A front, zippered pocket in the front is big enough to hold 2 phones and my keys!! I was a bit nervous reading some of the other reviews that the purse looked really cheap. Maybe I got a nice one? My purse does not look cheap; the stitching is tight and sturdy; the shape of the purse holds up with all my stuff weighing it down.My only complaint of the purse is the small space for the arm strap. It's a bit small to get your arm all the way up. My arm fits, but it is pretty tight with a heavy jacket / sweater. That is my least favorite part.Overall, for not seeing this purse in person before buying it, I'm 100% happy with my purchase.
Apparently Brown=Grey :(

Like many others I ordered dark Brown and the bag I got is this funky grey color... on what planet does grey translate to brown?? I mean it doesnât even have a brown tinge to it.. straight up battleship grey... I like the bag would have liked it way more if I would have actually gotten what I ordered...

I gave this handbag as a gift. Within four weeks of using the bag, the exterior finish started to rub off in multiple areas. Very disappointed.
