I have the Mini Messenger Tote and I just love it. The size is just perfect for everything I need daily, and the leather is such a clean, crisp brown. Very professional looking as I work in Banking it goes well with business dress and then dresses down for weekends with ease. I have Coach and Dooney & Bourke, but this by far is the best bag I have ever owned. I highly recommend.
I LOVE this bag and use it daily. I have it in black and would consider getting the tan one, also, except that after 5 days, as I was on the train heading into the City, I went to unzip the inside zipper (large one in the middle section, not the small on the side of the bag). It broke. It was a rather cheap-looking, plastic one and I had to "break in" to my own purse to get at my valuables. I could have sent it back for repair, but since I know how to sew I decided to fix it myself by installing a sturdier zipper. The inconvenience of returning the bag for repair/replacement didn't seem worth it. For the cost of the bag I would recommend using a better zipper, however.
I purchased this bag ten years ago, and it is still delivering all that it has to offer! This is one of those bags that will last forever. The leather is still beautiful and not one stitch on the inside lining has frayed. I use this bag every single day for work, and it has carried some heavy loads over the years. It's just a great, classic, lovely, hardworking bag. I highly recommend it!!
