I wanted to write a fair review so I waited a few weeks. Here it goes. First of the the blue is not just blue, but a purplish blue...and....it is the... most beautiful color I've ever seen on a purse. I just love looking at it. It's different. I think it's a year round color. Second, after adding my items inside, it felt a wee bit heavy, but after a few days it seemed to lighten up! The handles fit nicely on my shoulder, and they don't slip off. It's very comfortable. Third, I do wish it was just a wee bit wider inside, but I reorganized some things and all fits. Last, I do miss not having a zippered pocket outside. Nice for a pen and keys, but I'm adjusting. Overall, I recommended this purse. It arrived quickly and properly packaged.

I can't stand overpacking and searched for days for a large leather purse to serve as a 1 or 2 day travel bag. I purchased the XL and this is it! It has space for necessities and a few extra clothes. The zipper compartments will keep personal items safe and intact. The leather is good quality and exceeded my expectations. I will be able to board a plane with nothing but my purse and then leave. I couldn't be happier!

I probably carry more in my purse than in my overnight case. Just kidding but it often looks and fees that way. Given my need to carry enough in my purce to prepare for the apocolypse I tend to gravitate to large totes.
Pros: This tote is BEATIFUL. The material is waxed pebble leather and the color is rich. Inside you'll find a nice assortments of pockets; zippered and non-zippered. I have always had a love/hate relationship with center zippered pockets - I like having the big secure pocket but I hate how it impacts the usability of the rest of the inside. The big pocket on this side is off-center and so makes at least one side of the pocket for accessible and easy to see. I also have a love/hate relationship with purse liners. Dark liners make it hard to see inside the purse (why won't someone invent a truck light for purses?) while light liners show dirt and wear more easily. This liner is close to the deepest color of the leather and it neither light nor dark. So far I'm liking it.
Cons (you know it had to have some): The purse is heavy. While I expected a leather purse to be heavy and I did look at the weight before I bought it, it was heavier than I expected. If you think about buying the purse, try walking around with something of equal weight or more using one hand or on your shoulder. I found the handles to be a little short given the style and weight of the purse. I like the option of carrying the bag on my shoulder. I moved the straps to the next hole but I'm still not happy. Luckily there is enough strap to add one or two more holes to allow you to increase the drop. The crossbody strap is a disappointment. The strap is way too narrow, and the clasps too insubstantial, to comfortablely or securely support the weight of the purse (empty or filled). Also, even though you can shorten the cross-body strap you can't move the loop enough to keep the loose end secure and so it flaps around.
Bottom line - I really like the purse. It is gorgeous and gets lots of remarks. Overall it is well made (it lost points for the crossbody strap) and it has very usefully designed pockets. I can fix the handle drop issue and since I'm not a big crossbody person, I am not inconvenienced by the flaws with that.

I wanted a high quality leather purse, but I didn't want the price. I searched for weeks, all over, in store and online. This bag is the perfect balance of quality, fashion and price.

My favorite things-

Size- My biggest concern was the size. I'm a short, petite female and I didn't want to have a bag that dwarfed me or looked like a suitcase. I compared measurements to everything, lol. In many reviewers pics, this looks huge, but it isn't. I ordered the large, and it is perfect heigth and width for me.

Quality- this bag is well made in everyway. The stitching is well done and strong, the zippers are smooth, the hardware is beautiful and sturdy. The bottom has the four studs to prevent scratching and wear. The handles and strap are durable and soft.

Interior- I love organization, not just a huge hole to dump things in. There are two main compartments, one slightly larger, and they are divided by a zippered compartment that goes al the way to the bottom. There is a zippered pocket on one side, and two open pockets on the other. So much storage and convenient access for cell phone or glasses etc. The interior is a beautiful brown satin that adds to the beauty of the purse.

Exterior- this is genuine leather and smells amazing!!
It is between a soft and hard leather and has texture to the surface. Mine isn't glossy as it appears in other reviews pics. Mine is more of a pumpkin color, tho the description said Sorrell. It doesn't have the beautiful dimensions as seen in the ad, but it is still a beautiful purse/bag. I took pics in diff lighting to try to show the color.

This bag also stands up on its on with items inside. When fully empty it will slouch because of the weight of the handles. Which imo, is a good thing, it tells me they are well made.

Don't hesitate to buy this!!! I did all the research for you!! I'm in love with mine!!

Shipped so crunched up it took a while to get it to look right
