I really like this tote. It's elegant and minimalisitc. The shoulder straps are long enough to actually be carried on your shoulder without it either being too tight or awkwardly long. They are also securely sewn on all the way to the bottom of the bag and secured with a metal button/bolt/pin thing (see the picture) towards the top, so these straps won't snap on you any time soon. There is a longer carrying strap that you can attach/detach if you want to carry it long or cross-body.It's a great bag for work, or even casual carrying needs. The leather seems quite durable and it's on the stiffer side so it will keep shape pretty well.

It’s beautiful but too stinky!!

Llegó antes de lo previsto !! fabuloso, sin contratiempos/It arrived earlier than expected!! fabulous, no problems

I went from an open tote style bag to this bag and I could not be happier. First, the slight smell (that goes away very quickly and I wish it hadn't) is real leather. I don't think people really know what that smells like any more with all of the fake leather, but advertised as real, products out there. The bag is made of very sturdy leather. I did add a leather conditioner (Lexol) when I first got the bag, but I don't believe you have to do that. I just treat my leather products really well. That way they last a long time. I've been using the bag for less than a month and the bag is just starting to "conform" to my shape. Like any other lether product, it starts to fit you how you use it.The padded slide over the strap is really good, especially when you wear a tank top or sundress. I love the cross-body style. I am on the shorter side (5'4") and the strap adjusts well to wearing the bag cross-body, as well as just over one sholder. The color and feel of the leather is absolutely perfect. I read some reviews that said the leather was thin ... I'm not sure what purse they had, but it was not this one! The inside material is thick, sturdy material too. That is exactly what I was looking for inside a purse. All this thin material that you find in purses rips in a matter of months.The bag is large enough to carry a lot of stuff. I don't carry my tab everyday, but when I do I use one of the interior pockets and it fits perfectly. I have a larger wallet, a make-up bag, a first-aid bag, one of the larger note phones, a brush, tissues, gum, etc. ... you know all that "stuff" we carry in our purses. All of that fits with ease and I can still throw in a book, if I need too. The front 2 pockets I was hoping to use for the phone, but my phone is just too big. Those pockets are greats for keys and lip balm. Both pockets have beautiful buckels, but also have a snap closure underneath that makes access a breeze. The main closure is also a buckle with a snap hidden underneath. I love that when I don't tote as much stuff I can adjust the buckles so that the bage still looks neat. The purse does come with a dust bag, which is essential for storing a leather good for any extended period of time. It keeps the mold away. The letter from the business owner was a suprise. It legitimately seems that a smaller start-up business owner is just trying to sell a quality product for a fair price and still make it in today's cutthroat/cut quality market. I wish her well and all the success she should have from her leather line.Like I said above, I've only used this bag for under a month, so I gave the durability a 5 because it appears that way. I use it every single day and will update the review in 6 months or so. It really is a super nice bag. I can't believe the price was this low!

I absolutely love this bag!! If you are looking for the perfect bag for work, this is it! It is so soft, a beautiful color and so many pockets. It’s a great size and I love the adjustable shoulder straps. I hate when you can’t swing bags over your shoulder without hitting your elbow! It also comes with a longer strap. Stop looking and get this one!
