Love this purse.. The colors are beautiful. Just the right size and weight for a crossbody bag. Would certainly purchase again. Packaged very well, and prompt shipping.

It was a lot bigger then it looked in the pictures. I'm very small build and needed something small.
A piece of art work

Louis Pelle Women's Genuine Leather Cross Body | Triple Zip Pocket Travel Organizer | Hand Painted Original ArtworkThis is an absolutely gorgeous pocketbook. The design is eye-catching and the colors are vibrant. It truly is a work of art. The leather is incredibly soft and supple. It is a well made, sturdy, very high quality pocketbook. The silver hardware is nice and chunky and the zippers are strong and smooth. The inside is lined in a slightly shiny, silky smooth cottony fabric in black.The bottom is about 3 inches wide, which makes it much smaller than the tote I was previously carrying. However, as much as I like the conveniance of a "throw everything in it" tote; it starts to cause some shoulder pain - so I like to switch off occasionally with a smaller, lighter bag. The crossbody design and soft leather strap, make this a very comfortable bag to carry. As I am height challeneged at 5 feet, I felt the bag hung a bit too long on me. I had 2 additional holes added to the strap; which on the shorter one left it sitting between my hip and knee. I may have it shortened a tad more. The strap is thick enough that it doesn't lend itself well to shortening by tying a knot.The largest inside compartment has a zippered pouch that I use to hold a small minimalist wallet with my ID and credit cards. It can also fit a couple of lipsticks. Across from this pouch is another narrow holder which perfectly fits my reading glasses. I put my cell phone in the zippered compartment on the back of the bag and the two smaller compartments on the front hold all other necessities - eye drops, advil, nail file, etc.This has the look and feel of a high end pocketbook.
What a Beautiful Bag
Reviewed in the United States on August 11, 2019
I have to say that this is a stunning and beautiful purse. It looks even better than the product description picture makes it out to look. The colors are a little more toned down and not as bright as the picture shows but I prefer this and, in my opinion, it looks even more classy. This purse is hand painted and the colors are beautiful. It is a work of art. There are a few blemishes and imperfections here and there, which is common with hand painted items like this. They don't bother me but they might bother someone who expects a perfect piece.I could tell right away that this is definitely a genuine leather purse. I love the leather smell it emits. After having this bag out for a few days it has dissipated as leather products usually do but it has still retained a trace of it. I like how the carrying strap is long and offers several adjustable holes so you can either lengthen the strap or make it shorter. You can carry this purse a variety of ways but it is intended to be worn across your body. This has one main large pocket which is in the center of the bag and on the inside it contains 1 small pocket, which is designed to hold your cell phone, and another small zip open pocket on the adjacent side. On the sides of the bag are 3 additional pockets. One side contains 2 medium size zip open pockets and the other side of the bag has 1 medium size Pocket that zips open as well. I highly recommend this bag.
This is a unique, beautiful cross body bag
Reviewed in the United States on September 4, 2019
This is quite a purse! The floral design is just gorgeous and I love that it is on both sides. The purse is medium sized with a zip and open pocket in the main space and then tiered zipper compartments in the front. The back has a zip pocket as well. The strap is adjustable but not infinitely adjustable meaning it is best used as cross body. I am a bit disappointed in that because I am not a fan of cross bodies as a rule. I would like to adjust the strap so it could worn on the shoulder without being too low. I will wear this bag as a cross body when I go to events and such where keeping my bag secure and at my fingertips is a must.The workmanship is excellent and the leather smell is genuine. Mine did come with a few scuffs and a spot on the back but I believe I can buff them out. They're not super noticeable. The bag is great for those who don't requite a huge purse. I am trying to NOT carry everything I own in my bags and this one is going to help me. It has plenty of room for essentials and lots of organizing spaces which I need.I went with 4 stars because I do wish I could adjust the strap do it sits on my shoulder above the hip. I think I may be able to punch a hole where I need it and that would work. Also because my bag did come with some spots/scratches albeit minor. If you like the look of this bag, it is very reasonably priced and really lovely!
A Purse that Makes a Statement and Holds a Ton of Stuff!
Reviewed in the United States on August 22, 2019
ITS LOOK: I love the way this purse pops, especially with black and grey tone clothing. It turns a rather plain outfit into a striking ensemble. This purse makes a big statement. It has a different design on each side, both vivid and artful. Strangers often stop me to compliment the purse. It looks FAR MORE EXPENSIVE than its $60 price at the time of this review. It reminds me of Anuschkaâs artisan bags, which cost three to four times as much as this bag.ITS FUNCTIONALITY: On the large side, the Pelle cross body purse holds a ton of stuff. Its four zippered compartments (three on the outside, one on the inside) and cell phone pocket keep my belongings well organized and tidy with plenty of space left over. It is efficiently designed and my go-to bag when I need to take with me many items.ITS DRAWBACK: My only complaint is that it is on the super long side even when I use the shortest strap setting. In the second photo, the bag is at that shortest setting. When I go up a flight of stairs, my knees kick the purse up in the air, so I must yank it up when climbing. Because it has a large, rectangular shape and heavier than my other cross body bags, it tends to swing forward when I walk. (I am 5'7".) I would recommend that the manufacturer provide a couple more shorter strap settings.ITS VERDICT: The bag is a keeper!
