I wanted to use the bag for a few days before giving it a review and I can't find anything negative to say about it except for the zipper. I'ts nearly impossible to zip the bag shut, very poor engineering on this particular point. I read other reviewers had the same problem so I doubt it's not just a few bags that were effected but the overall design of the bag. In any event, I still love it even with the dumb zipper so the five stars remain.It's bigger then I expected, even though I checked the measurements prior to purchasing it, I was nevertheless mildly surprised at the size. Again, I still love it. I love big bags, I just can't deal with the little clutch bags......I need my stuff. My laptop even will fit in it. Nice......The quality is very nice especially given the price. The stitching was well done, the hardware is impressive, the straps are good looking and strong, the interior is great with an array of pockets. It's now my "go to" bag.Like I said, I can't find anything that I dislike enough to remove it from the "I love" it catagory.Love love love this bag. It's exactly like the picture I'm 5'7 and wt 190 lbs the bag is not too big or too small. It's perfect for me. It looks like real leather and smells like it too. I just got the bag yesterday and I wore it to work I could hardly get in the door and several of my co-workers approached me about the bag. Compliments galore. For the price I will be buying more in whatever color's they have.Addendum : I did buy another color and it was from another seller it was not packed nicely like the 1st one I bought and it had a funny odor. I aired it out but still not as pleased with the 2nd handbag. I'm not going to take another chance and order another one.UPDATE: DO NOT BUYWanted to update my review. Previously this was my FAVORITE bag. I bought two more over the past few years that served me well (large enough to fit all of my items as a working student), but eventually small things broke (hardware, zippers), so I decided to purchase a new bag. When I received the new bag, I thought it looked a little off. However, upon further inspection (but after already taking the tag off bec I assumed it would be the same), I realized this is the equivalent of a cheap knock-off version of the old bag. The old bag had beautiful pebbled high-quality artificial leather, whereas this is a cheap-looking, plastic-like material. Furthermore, the seams are uneven all over the bag. Most disappointing, I can't fit my notebooks or nearly as much stuff because it's about 2/3 the size of the original.DO NOT BUY! Comparison pictures to follow.____PERFECT!I had been looking for a replacement large cross-body bag that I could use running around the city between work and class. I can fit my laptop, a couple of notebooks, all types of regular purse things, a water bottle, and a little container for my lunch, all while being conveniently hands-free. It seems to be very well-made and looks much more expensive and chic than you would think.Considering buying a whole fleet of these bags so if it ever breaks, I'll have another haha.Definitely buy! Pics to come.Nice soft faux leather bag, with all the reviews I read I pictured it bigger as I'm a BIG bag gal, it's decent sized but not oversized at all.For those of you ladies that just toss stuff in its perfect, I prefer everything organized. I like it however!Just received this bag last night, great bag..but no need for two handles. Yes decorative, but no need for the second handle. Wide and big inside, the bag goes perfectly with my grey suede pumps I just bought, it has a little suede on top where the zipper is.Was looking for a plain black bag, and the red on the inside shows more than I expected so it's actually a bit loud for work, but it was so cheap I can't really complain. It is large enough to fit most laptops. The construction is impressive for the price too, very strong. There is one large compartment in the middle and one pocket on the outside which is functional but doesn't open much. The zipper on the middle thing isn't great, but it definitely works.It is a really good quality purse for the price. It's big, and I love that it has two different handles. Me having two kids, I need the long strap. I don't like that it doesn't stay upright when I set it down so I'm constantly try to dig in the purse to find stuff rather than having s purse standing up and you can see everything in it. If that bothers you then don't buy it. but since it's a hobo purse, well that's just how they are.This is a beautiful purse. But do to my own negligence I failed to see in the description that it isn't leather. I wanted a leather purse to give as a gift for an expectant mother to use as a tote for baby stuff. So I unfortunately had to return it. But the purse is exactly as described and is a gorgeous purse that I highly recommend. So much room inside and so comfy!
