Web ID: 4531150SO HEAVY
Ok, this bag is so beautiful. The color, shape, construction, everything is just so simple but gorgeous. I am super sad because the first thing I noticed after I picked it up for the first time after putting my things in it is how heavy it was! Just walking from my vehicle through my work parking lot, my shoulder was already feeling it! I can't imagine a day of shopping with it. And also the shoulder strap is quite thin for such a large bag. Sadly, it's going to have to go back. I love it aside from that. There is so many compartments and space for your things. If weigh doesn't bother you, you should be ok!
Best Product Ever!
Beautiful, richly colored red. A Must Have! Love this bag.
BEST BUY AND NICE PRODUCT
I love this bag, roomy and very descent bag, very recommendable to all office ladies. A little big as expected, but over all satisfied
Beautiful Work Bag
Just received my black bag and it looks amazing--good quality. Leather feels smooth, bag holds its shape, and the lining is sewn on where it doesn't feel like it's going to get caught in the zippers. My 13" X 9" laptop and a 2-3/4" binder fits in the middle with plenty of room on the sides for wallet, etc. I do agree with other reviewers about the detachable strap--it is too thin for such a large handbag. I, too, wish the strap was thicker, especially with the weight of a laptop and binder. That is why I gave it 4 stars. Otherwise, it would have been a 5 star. I am happy with the bag.
Good for a work bag - most of the time
First of all, this is the size of a briefcase/tote, not a handbag/purse. I got this as a work bag after seeing glowing reviews on YouTube and it is great for that purpose - most of the time. The bag has two zip compartments on each side and the middle, the biggest amount of space, is open. This is ok for driving to the office, but doesn't work well for travel when you need to be able to put this bag under the seat in front of you and know that nothing will fall out. Also, while the bag is large in dimensions, it is extremely structured so there is not much give to the leather. The bag doesn't work well if you try to stuff it and, with the middle open, it looks a bit messy. It holds a 13" MacBook Pro, charger, A5 size planner, phone, keys and pencil case well. In addition to that stuff, it would hold a few file folders and ipad well - but nothing too bulky. The bag has polished, sophisticated lines and comfortable handles. However, the handles are short so it won't go over your shoulder unless you use the detachable shoulder strap - I like that one is included, but it is incredibly thin, especially for a bag this big and heavy (I think it is heavy even when empty). I got it in black, and it is a nice bag, but there are lots of options for black work bags out there that are better or the same in terms of functionality and aesthetics, as well as less expensive. I probably wouldn't repurchase it in black, but I am back on the page looking at red.
Looks great
The purse looks great and it's big, however even thou the purse is large and with side zippers which I thought would help separate my items, it doesn't help at all. It turns the purse bulky and the items get lost in the center.
A little larger...
Than we expected but so beautiful we couldn't return it. We'll just make a way cause the bag is bad;)
Great Purse
I love this purse! It has 2 large zipper compartments and one magnet closer, which is perfect for organizing. Big enough to put larger items such as my iPad. I usually refer to it as “my carry on”. As far as weight is concerned, it’s more bulky than heavy. i.e. the distribution of items in the purse are more spread out and consequently feels lighter than my smaller sized purses.
