Better than advertised

I love my bag (basically it's a large open sack). While it has pockets on the outside, the inside has one zipper pocket on one side and 2 holders on the other side. So - all my stuff is thrown in the middle. And I carry A LOT of stuff! This little holder is not that little and it holds A LOT w/o adding any weight to my bag. I also like that it has 2 zipper compartments so I can put personal stuff in there w/o everyone seeing it every time I open the bag. I'm not sure HOW LARGE other people's bags are that I read in other reviews that they say it slides around. The length of my bag is 16" and this thing fits comfortably in it. I've attached a BEFORE and AFTER picture. Seriously, for an extra $10 I now enjoy using my $250+ bag!

This is just what I needed for my big bag to find and store anything I need in a blink. No searching and emptying the bag, it's right on hand. Product is well designed and easy to place inside or take out of.

I just received this bag, and I'm so impressed I had to leave a review. It really is a nice looking bag, and the size is perfect. Just enough for all your everyday essentials, and maybe even some more. The quality of the bag seems good, the zippers all look well made and work great. The hidden zipper side pockets will be great to throw those items in you want to quickly access, like phone and keys. I didn't think I'd like the fluffy little attached keychain, but it's actually cute, not too much fluff and just adds a little extra style. It doesn't bother me, but as some other reviews mentioned it may be made of real fur so take note if that's a concern. Also, as others mentioned it was a nice added touch that it showed up with a scented sachet and smelled good, not that funky smell like some new bags can sometimes have.
The only con I can see is that with the straps in the back, it does add a little difficulty in accessing the main compartment. But to me, that's worth it for the added security of the main pocket being against your back, and the ability to use as a backpack. Also, the side 'water bottle' type compartments don't fit any of my aluminum bottles. But those are just small inconveniences, it doesn't make me love this bag any less.
I can't speak to the durability of this as I just received it, but it does appear to be well made and I don't have any concerns about it. I'll be using it on an upcoming vacation and will be great for switching between using as a backpack and then a purse when you don't want to look so touristy with a backpack. If it holds up well I'll probably order again in another color I love it so much.
Added 6/30: I just wanted to add that after a 10 day vacation to the Smoky Mountains I still LOVE this bag! It held up great, even used it on a few small hikes and was perfect for carrying just what I needed to keep with me. I loved the fact that the main compartment is against my back so didn’t have to worry about theft in the tourist areas. Also, I wanted to add that this bag is definitely waterproof. It rained on us just about everyday and nothing in my bag got wet at all!! Even in a few heavy downpours!

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.
