Women Vintage Style Genuine Brown Leather Crossbody Satchel Bag Handmade Purse

I absolutely LOVE this bag!!! It was delivered early this morning - wrapped in a clear plastic bag- which I wasn’t terribly impressed with - however, once all the wrappings came off I was thrilled with both the quality & size of this bag! The style is gorgeous, and it looks to be the perfect size for hauling around my most necessary items. I wanted a mid-size leather crossbody bag with deep pockets and this ticks all the boxes! Some reviews have complained of a smell, but I didn’t notice one, beyond the regular “leather smell” - which I quite like.. The shoulder straps are a bit stiff, but they’ll soften over time. It came with a leaflet regarding appropriate care, which was a nice addition. Everything considered ( including a great price) - this is a wonderful deal! I’m looking forward to using it right away! It really is a gorgeous bag ! The hardware seems adequate for the job, and it’s attractive. The bag is not super heavy and sits across my shoulder quite comfortably. I will definitely recommend this lovely purse!

After reading some reviews, I wondered about this purse. But I'm so glad I took a chance on it. It's a lovely midsized bag, and can fit more than you'd think. Some say the smell was bad -- mine just smelled like clean, new leather, and quite mild. It seems beautifully made. The leather is slightly stiff because it's new, but it's still supple and I know it will soften with use. The top flap and front pocket flap are leather lined, and the lining inside the bag is a very pretty and substantial green canvas. Each buckle and zipper pull was carefully wrapped. The outside zip pocket holds my phone, and the smaller one on the front is great for keys. The two zip pockets and card holders inside make it great for organizing small items. I really love the style of the bag. It's kind of retro yet classic, and its simple lines show off the leather shading. I found the strap a bit long for how I carry a bag, so I braided it as the photo shows, and it's perfect. Don't hesitate to give this beautiful bag a try.

I really like the look of the purse and, for the price, I think this purse is pretty well made. I've had it for 6 months or more and it is not showing any wear. Even though the leather seems pretty thin, the purse is very sturdy as it seems to have a coated duck canvas fabric which lines the inside. For me, the inside pockets are well designed so there are a lot of places to organize all of your stuff. The leather seems to be coated in some kind of oil and the odor sounded like it was an issue for some, but I do not have a problem with it (it smells like a leather shop). I do have two issues with the purse (the reason I rated it a 4 star for sturdiness and craftsmanship):1) It seems like the front buckle was installed upside down. The metal center bar pin on the buckle occasionally catches on things (because it's facing up) and the bar that the bar pin rests on flops down. I thought it was a mistake at first, but the picture on Amazon shows it this way. Not enough to send the piece back, but I have thought about going somewhere to have it fixed. (If the manufacturers read this review, please consider sending me a front buckle re-oriented ;)2) The shoulder strap is adjustable, which I like, but the extra piece just kind of flops around. I ended up knotting the end of the strap so it doesn't flop.All around, I think it's a good purse for the price.

I love the purse! The color, the leather, the quality of the work, the space in it. It is amazing!The only down side is the way it smells (the leather was treated with natural oils), but i asume that it will go away soon.

First let me say that I love the look, functionality and style of this bag. What I do t love is the smell. When I first received it, I thought it would go away the next day but it’s been a few days now and it gets stronger. It smells like a petting zoo. I was in a store the other day and kept smelling something stinky. Turns out, it was my purse. My dad use to do leather work and it never smelt this bad. I’m going to give it a few more days and if the smell doesn’t go away, I’ll return it. If the smell would go away, I’d give it 5 stars but do to the smell, it gets 3.

I love this purse! It has lots of room for your stuff. It is not vegan leather. The leather is supple and soft, but you do need to take time to condition the leather periodically with some leather conditioner. I didn’t notice any type of smell with my new purse. The only issue I have is the buckle on the strap. Once I adjust the strap length long enough to make it a crossbody the buckle sits on my shoulder and catches my hair. It can be uncomfortable. My solution is to buy another 56” strap, because the purse is worth keeping.

I have been looking for a purse for a very long time that isn't so small that I can't even fit my wallet in it and so large that I can't find my wallet in it. Then I saw this purse. I just received it today. Now I read the reviews and found many said it was rather stinky. Well, the first thing I did was sniff it. I didn't find it stinky at all...it smells like leather, the way it should. The second thing I did was placed my wallet in it. Well, well, well...it fits wonderfully. Like the Three Bears, this purse is just right! The color is fine, the makings of it is great. Some remarked that the strap is too thin. If it was thick, I think it would be difficult to keep on the shoulder. I don't see any problems with the hardware either like I've seen in the reviews. So, all in all, this was a great buy and glad I didn't listen to the naysayers.
