Cute bag, cheap construction
Reviewed in the United States on January 19, 2013
This is the second Sydney Love bag I've purchased. The design is undeniably appealing and stylish. However, the quality leaves much to be desired. I had used the Vintage Hotel shoulder bag less than 24 hours when one of the zipper pulls completely broke off without any force. I don't mean that the pull slipped off of the hook -- I mean the hook snapped completely off of the bag, making it impossible to repair without soldering it. Both bags that I've purchased developed a distinct tendency to cave in on one side so that you can't set the bag down without it collapsing completely to one side. In other words, it will no longer stand up straight on its base when you place it on a table -- it just falls over. It seems to be a problem related to the material. So, if you are beguiled by the fun, funkiness of these bags, be aware that you may experience a number of frustrations in exchange.
great bag for the money

This is a very cute bag. It is as described and looks like the picture. There are 2 zip pockets on the sides of the bag that I did not realize were there until it arrived. It is a medium size bag and holds a normal amount of stuff without being so large everything falls to the bottom and is difficult to find. It does not look like a fine quality leather bag but it does not look cheaply made either, it costs $50, not $150 so I think if you are realistic in your expectations you will like the bag.
Disappointed

I really loved this purse. It took me weeks at end deciding whether or not to purchase it and when I did I was ecstatic to finally receive it. When I did receive it, I couldn't get it pouf up as it came in a flat envelope which left the purse as such so I filled it up with a few plastic bags to get it to shape, but sadly it never did. I went on to use it and received compliments. A few months later one of the metal pieces attached to the straps fell off, then I noticed that the bottom lining of the purse also started peeling away and the whole time I have carried the purse I tend to hang it. As that wasn't enough, while on vacation 2 of the balls on the sides fell off. I feel like I overpaid for a purse that started deteriorating in less then 5 months of having purchased it. Completely disappointed!
Unique and Awesome

Sydney Love Vintage Hotel Shoulder Bag

I love the design of this bag with all the hotels displayed on it. It is deep enough to carry a bottle of water, but has several pockets on the outside as well as on the inside. There is one drawback and that is the strap. It is too short. When the bag is placed on the shoulder it rides in your armpit. I happened to have an older bag with a longer strap of the same color and modified the bag with the longer strap. I now can enjoy the bag at the length I like. If you do not mind the short strap then this bag is perfect, otherwise beware of the short strap. GLS
I love this purse!

This is a sturdy, beautiful handbag. I love the size and myriad pockets that let me get organized. Not only can I put in my "regular" purse contents, but when needed, I can add my e-reader or a crossword puzzle book or a bottle of water or snack. It has fun zipper pulls and the closing magnet is strong enough to hold even when I have the purse loaded up until I can't believe how heavy it is! Because of all the travel insigniz, you get lots of color and it matches everything! You won't be disappointed.
Fun buy for the price

Cute for casual afternoon. Didn't quite give it 5 stars because the material the print is on is a bit shiney. hoping the sheen wears down a bit. Construction is great.
