I love this bag!
It has pockets everywhere and the sewing is wonderful (I quilt and sew a bit, and tend to look at seams) and the fabric is top notch. This feels like a high mid range bag and fits a lot of stuff - I am at that age where I carry my meds and my husband's meds everywhere, so I need space! This has it - and I am organized!

The pictures don't do it justice, this is a prettier bag in person. I got the khaki, but it is a pretty beige. It did have a faint smell that dissipated after about a day (and I have a pretty keen sense of smell!) The lining feels thick - I love that quality fabric. The zippers are smooth. Even the vegan leather is nice.

I would buy this again... and probably will in another color. Yup. Definitely a great bag.

Friend wanted an inexpensive every day bag for using public transit. Looks well made and color was great (brown). She is so happy at the amount of room and secure strap!

I got the large size in the color wine with gold hardware.

Pros: Well-made, size is as described (large but not bulky), color is as described ("wine" is the same as burgundy), hardware doesn't look cheap. Interior is as described: roomy interior, one small zippered pocket, two side pockets, one center large zippered pocket that divides the interior of the bag into two sections. Also has an outer zippered pocket. A nice plus is that the shoulder strap is lightly padded, and the crossbody strap also has a very light cushiony feel to it.

Cons: Exterior and interior material.

I really like this bag because of the "pros" listed above. The one thing that keeps me from loving this bag is the material (exterior and interior). The description says "faux leather," so I wasn't expecting real leather, but I was disappointed at the feel of the bag because some faux leather can feel quite buttery. This bag feels a bit like vinyl. The gray interior material is made of thick nylon and is a bit "noisy."

I'm keeping this bag because everything else is exactly what I've been looking for. I need this bag to function as my everyday/workhorse bag, so I can overlook the material based on what I intend to use it for.

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 loved this handbag, the color is exactly if not better than photos! Quality was really nice"¦ except for the lining. It felt & sounded plasticy which seems cheap. I returned this's bag, reluctantly, because of it.
