I purchased this handbag 9 months ago (in the wine color) and initially considered returning the bag because it was much larger than I was accustomed to but given the reasonable price and high quality, I decided to keep it. I'm so glad I did!! There is ample room, multiple compartments with zippers to keep belongings organized/easy to find and the feet on the bottom of the bag keep it sturdy. I don't use the crossbody strap as I prefer handles and they easily swing over my shoulders anyway - those who are plus size won't have issues with that aspect, plus they're adjustable There's a bit more weight to it versus other bags but that was easy to get used to. Because I loved the first handbag so much, I wound up purchasing it in sorrel 8 months later.

Delivered as promised, my iphone fits perfectly in the side pocket & my reading glasses( in their case) fit in the other side pocket making for easy access to both.
The lining is super plush.
This purse is so nice that I purchase one of those attachments that you clip behind your car head rest so that when someone is sitting in the passenngers seat my purse doesn't have to be on the floor as suggested by another reviewer.

First of all there appears to be more than one seller that sells this identical purse.  I purchased one from  another seller because I loved the wallet I bought from them and posted a glowing review.  When the purse came, it was a disaster.  I returned it and bought this one instead and am so glad I did!

When it arrived it was in a see-through plastic bag that zips up.  The kind you see when you purchase bedspreads, electric blankets or bedding.  The purse looked great.  When I unzipped it from the carrier I noticed it had a plastic-like smell which I attributed to it being encased in the bag.  After about an hour the smell went away and the purse actually smelled like leather.

The purse itself even came with the sellers name on a card, which was attached with a string, along with another card with directions on how to take care of the purse.  Also inside the purse was another card thanking me for purchasing their product.  Almost as if I purchased it at a department store, and not from Amazon.  Not to say that other sellers don't do this, but I guess I was pleasantly surprised after my last experience with purchasing this bag.

The leather itself.  It actually responds like leather.  There is an obvious texture to it and when you fold it, the texture crinkles up like leather would.  Pressing hard on it will have the same effect.  That is how leather is supposed to respond.  And it truly feels, smells and looks like leather.  The inside of the purse is lined with a satiny type of fabric that looks like it will hold up well and is very silky to the touch.

On the inside, there is a small flap sewn nicely to one of the back pockets with the sellers name embossed on it.  However the flap that is dangling from a chain on one of the purse handles is blank.  I have no idea why the seller would not bother to stamp their name on that piece of leather.  I really don't mind because I think the tag is tacky and removed it anyway (i do that to all my bags with that tag).

All in all this is a gorgeous purse.  I do need to make a small adjustment.  I prefer to use the purse handles instead of the  shoulder straps.  I am only 5 feet tall and the purse handle only came with 2 holes for adjustment.  But that is going to be easier for me to fix and will not be an issue because I have a device that can easily make extra holes for me without ruining the quality of the purse and will be the same size.

A beautiful purse with a beautiful color, texture, and light sheen.  

This bag is very well made! I bought the large size because I needed a new work bag. I use my work bag for my personal items too that I would normally carry in my purse. So for me, it is a two in one deal because everything fits that I need to. I know other reviewers have said that this can get heavy and I agree but I don't think it's TOO heavy. I have neck and back problems and this has not affected me as of yet.
It comes with a nice long strap that is adjustable and enables you to wear this as a crossbody if you so choose. I do wish there was a band to keep the extra part of the strap in place after you've adjusted it...say to its shortest length.
The hardware is silver which I totally prefer over gold. It has nice lining on the inside and I love the zip middle pocket.
I totally recommend this bag. I also bought the purse in this same color.

I read most of the reviews and went forward with the purchase. This is a good quality bag for the current price. The shipping was timely and fast. The bag is beautiful and I gave it a four star because there was a small scratch on the zipper hardware despite all the carefull packaging. Also, the size of the bag is a little larger than expected but it carries everything you need plus more. I used it for traveling and wouldn't be without it. I would also purchase another if came in a smaller size. The odor that was mentioned in the reviews is minor and dissapated shortly after leaving only the leather smell. Overall, I am satisfied with my purchase.
