I hate to carry purses so I have used various backpack/purses for years and needed a new one. I have never bought a purse without seeing it in person but I took a chance and am glad I did! Nice thick leather and stylish design. The side pockets are super deep. I generally like a front pocket for easy access to my keys but this purse is just so cute I'll dig around for them and try not to complain! I love that it quickly turns into a backpack when I go to the store. I like both hands free when I shop! This is plenty big and could probably easily hold my Kindle along with my normal items when I travel. Here's to hoping it lasts and doesn't scuff up!

I really like the bag - it holds a lot. It was the style that I wanted. Problem...I think the bag is old and wasn't stored properly. The leather on the top of the bag is creased because there wasn't enough packing/filler inside. I would have returned the bag except I needed to use it immediately and don't feel comfortable sending it back now.

I really like the look of this bag but it was not functional for me because of the fold in the front, there is limited space inside the bag. The vertical zipper on each side are not very practical, I would be afraid I forget to zip them and lose something. I put it on as a back pack and it didn't lay right on my back, it felt awkward but it was cute as a shoulder bag. All in all, I love the look and feel of this bag but because it wasn't functional, I returned it. I have to mention that the bag is made of really good leather and the chocolate color is rich. The metal zippers and the buckle in the front are made of very nice sturdy material. I would have happily kept this bag if only it worked better.

One word - PERFECT! I love it so much I ordered the other two colors. I think I finally might have found the perfect bag.

Purchased it for my wife, I knew it would be a good quality bag. She already has the same bag in another color, so it was no question about it. She loves it and will probably end up with more Piel products If she has her way!!!!!! Thanks
