I had ordered a mid level quality purse from a commonly known brand off another site. First the order was delayed, then canceled all together. So I came to Amazon to try and order again, only to see the reviews for that purse were horrible! So I searched around similar styles and ordered this one.

I am in love. First off, I HATE gold hardware... no gold hardware here. Second, I'm not a fan of logos and logo prints on purses. None of that foolishness either.

The leather is good quality, the stitching is uniform. This is a great, simple, stylish purse you can dress up for business or down for casual.

The ONLY thing I would change would be the liner. It's pretty dark, making it difficult to see in the purse. A bright or fun patterned liner would make this purse absolutely flawless.

I use this purse as my everyday. I've gotten so many compliments on the color and the beautiful leather. I love how much it can handle, my only issue is the piping on the handle has pulled off one of the handles. Luckily it's on the inside so no one but me knows that it's come off.

This purse is lovely! It really fulfills all the requirements a purse should. The leather is not supple, it is a hard sided partial REAL leather bag with some manmade leather for sturdiness, which is VERY popular right now. Check any store.

The outside pocket has a zip for easy access. Perfect if you need to put something in there, like quick cash or a folded boarding pass. I use it for my iPhone 6s plus and about 3/4 of an inch sticks out. There is no way it would fall out unless the purse was turned upside down. I carry that side towards me so the phone is not accessible to others.

The 2 zipper pockets are great and LARGE. One has 2 pockets for misc. You can stick your phone there if you prefer it inside the bag. I keep my business card case in one and cheaters in the other. The other large pocket has a smaller zipper pocket in it for my misc lip color and Motrin, etc. I fit an 8' x 5" notebook in that pocket. I LOVE that there are 2 bi directional zippers on the large pockets..such easy access. When using the purse, I identify that side is the same side as the outer zipper pocket so I don't keep opening the wrong zipper pocket.

Here is the HUGE SELLING POINT for me. There is a middle pocket between the 2 large zipper pockets with a magnetic snap which really works! I keep my large wallet (the type that is large enough to carry a checkbook) there. I also keep a pair of sunglasses and my keys in there and it still closes and is NOT bulky. Such easy access to things I use constantly, without being noticeable to anyone or in an open area.

The metal hardware is more of a gun metal gray, which is a unique and a great accent against my red bag. There are 2 handles and one shoulder strap. The shoulder strap is adjustable. There are 5 holes to chose for adjusting. You can wear it cross body, but I didn't find that overly comfortable, but that option would be great in a crowd. It is great for a shoulder bag.

I'm so pleased with this bag and if you are a pocket purse lover, then this is the one for you!

Very nice satchel! Love that it has feet on the bottom and that it stands on its own. The hardware is pewter and does look nice against the black (but silver tone would look really nice too). It has 3 compartments - the outside compartments zip. This came wrapped very nicely. All the hardware was covered by plastic. Love the smoothness of this purse.

I wish the color of the material inside was a lighter. It would make it easier to see inside the purse at night. Also a key strap would be nice.
