I got this for an everyday bag and I am so pleased. the size is great and can fit all of my stuff and the quality of the leather and hardware is amazing! it comes with a cross body strap so you can wear it multiple ways. Great bag!

I love the size of the bag and length of the strap! The color is great as well! The only thing I don't like is there is a distinct fishy smell on the inside. Hopefully this goes away after some time.

I really like this purse, especially the pockets and size. Not too small, not too large. My only complaint is that the purse arrived with an awful smell. It's been two weeks and it still has an odor. I'm hoping it eventually passes.

First things first: I received my bag today and THERE'S NO SMELL! I searched all through it, every pocket and zipper and there aren't any of the little silica packets anywhere AND there is no odor whatsoever. I stuck my face inside it and it just smells like a department store. I got the medium size brown with black gunmetal hardware and it's a nice looking purse for the money. The zippers really do glide easily. The interior is a darker gray color and similar to umbrella material. I don't find it "loud" as others have, just mildly more noisy than cotton lining would be. The lining does seem a little slack so I'm hoping I can keep it out of the zippers. I am pleased with the amount of pockets inside and out. The purse itself is much lighter weight than I thought it would be, which is good.
The one thing I do not like about this bag is the handle. It's cheap, it's squeaky, and it is not removable like the crossbody strap is. It is stiff and just kind of "there" and in the way when entering the bag. It doesn't relax and fall away, it just stands there awkwardly. It also seems like it will start to crack and fray pretty quickly with use. So, I took some scissors and cut it off. I have a nice leather handle from another bag that I clipped onto this one and now it looks perfect.
Overall, I think this is a sharp looking purse at a great price, and we will see how long it lasts. It's such a great price that I may get another one in a cooler color. I'll give this one a few months of daily use first and see how it holds up.
UPDATE: I am now strangely obsessed with this bag. So much so that I am trying to decide which other color to order it in. I really love it. I am NOT a person who needs or enjoys a large bag, but this one in medium is perfect for me and has enough extra room in it to achieve the "slouchy" look I was after, without being too much. The lining is staying put and no issues at all with zippers, they are smooth and buttery. Normally I can't stand a bag that has the short strap and the crossbody, but am loving the look of it on this one AND the functionality. Took this bag on an out-of-state trip and it was perfect. I entered the bag numerous times and realized I love all the pockets and have a place for each of my items. Things stay in place nicely. I can see myself having this bag in 2 or 3 colors and swapping out with the seasons or just outfits year-round. I'm not sure I've ever loved a purse this much, and in the past few years I have purchased some very expensive designer bags, which are now living in my closet. If you are considering ordering this purse, just get it. You will probably love it!

I have sent two different bags with quality issues back to Amazon and am very pleased with this bag! The brown color is rich, the hardware, attractive and durable looking. I love that there are 3 generous, exterior zippered pockets for rushed moments for keys, phone, and my small wallet. The lining is good quality and the generous interior will hold notebooks, small umbrellas, my kindle and reports. I must have the cross shoulder strap for security and back comfort. The bag came well packed and padded. It is worth the wait (a bit over a week) and I expect this handsome bag to become my preferred bag. It is worth every penny.
