This bag is noticeable larger than most of the shoulder bags I’ve used for years but most of the extra size is in depth which works out great. It doesn’t feel bigger because the extra volume just hangs lower rather than making the bag bigger front to back. And the extra depth feels more secure since the bag is less “stuffed” all the way to the top, causing dangers of spillage - which is especially great for me since when in a hurry I often don’t take the time to zip closed the outer top zippers on my bags. It holds everything I need and then some but again the extra size isn’t bothersome because the leather is really nice and soft, so when not full the bag just kind of closes in on itself a little. The extra space also makes it easier to find everything because my various items aren’t all piled tight on each other, and I don’t have to take anything out to dig around for other things underneath. Plus it’s nice to know the extra room is there when I might need it, for example when traveling. I can’t speak too much to workmanship and duranility because I’ve only had it a couple of weeks so I can’t say how it will hold up over time. But it appears well made, the stitching all seems good for example, and the leather high quality. But also quite light to carry, which is nice. And I love the purple color I chose. Purple is my favorite color and the shade is great because it’s not so bright to look crazy or wild, But it’s also not understated, so I can see the colior and appreciate its richness without feeling like its screaming for attention. So far it’s among the 2 or 3 favorite leather shoulder bags I’ve ever carried - and I’ve been using them for more than 50 years now!Dark teal color is gorgeous. The leather is soft yet durable. The inside pockets and dividers work so well with all my stuff and keeps it nicely organized. It arrived early and was well worth the wait. Highly recommend.Love the outside of the bag and the strap and color (coffee.) for the price VERY disappointed with the inside of the bag. It honestly feels & sounds like cheap plastic! For the price I expected way more!! I find that the side interior pocket and outside pocket are very small & not very deep. I have another bag I got from the same place, a bit smaller & was cheaper l and the inside is elegant!! So I thought it would be the same. VERY VERY disappointed.Been using this for a couple weeks and LOVE it! I like purses with some color and have already gotten a lot of compliments on the color of this purse! I feel like it's well made. It has a zipped outer pocket on the side that I drop my phone in and a couple pockets on the inside for misc things like keys and sunglasses. I like that it also has a zipped middle section because that's where I keep the more important things safe while allowing me easy access to the things like Carmex and toothpicks. I usually where this as shoulder purse but found it comfortable to wear as an across the body for times when you need to keep it out of the way.So pretty. Soft leatherI love this purse, the quality was better than I had hoped for. Color was true to the picture, just the right size for a purse between small and large, and has lasted in good condition for over a year now. Would not hesitate to try another color too.Nice quality leather and very prettyProduct to my likingthe purse was smaller than pictured. I wanted to return it , and it would of cost me more to return it , than what I paid for it! the inside of the purse was stiff , and not very roomy. by the time you put stuff in it , you would have to move other things out of the way to get to what you were looking for. I was very disappointed. although it was pretty , it was not functional . CarlaBag as described. Leather,good size.Plenty of pockets.Liked colour. Teal.Extremely good value for money and would buy againBasic leather bag but what I expected for the price. I’ve put a silver tag on it to give it a bit more detail. I bought the navy which is a good dark colour.Love this bag, perfect size and colour, it feels great to hold, roomy yet organised. I a bit concerned as it states ‘bleedy’ may occur if worn against light coloured clothing...at least they were honest enough to tell us-have yet to use though!A smart well made leather handbag which will go with many outfits. A good purchase.
