I am absolutely delighted with this beautiful bag. I use it for everything, except formal occasions. I like the middle pocket. It allows for more organization within the bag. It is a zip up pocket, and I use it to keep certain things secure. It is a wonderful go to bag.
Fits, 2 iPhone (not proud that I carry two phones), small portfolio and an iPad. however you cannot put the straps over your shoulders when you have it this full but you can comfortably carry.
Very classic looking bad not overly fashionable and will be in style for years to come
REALLY REALLY nice leather.
Currently I am contemplating buying the brown so I have both colors
I have taken it on 2 business trips and used for every day and the leather straps get more comfortable with more use. The leather still looks great after use and it is easy to care for
Great price
Cons:
cannot wear on your shoulder when you have it full but with just the phones it fits on my shoulder just fine.
I've owned the leather mini tote (in black) for 1.5 years and love it so much as my go-to, workhorse-of-a-handbag that I finally bought the larger tote, also in black. I love it. It's just like the mini in its great-feeling leather, sturdiness, spaciousness inside, and compartments. The one difference is that the mini tote has brass-tone metal connecting the handles to the bag, while the large tote has silveqr-tone metal, but the difference is not glaring because of the matte finish of the metal. (I don't know whether diffrence is attributable to my buying the two bags 1.5 years apart.) This big tote is going to be a briefcase-substitute, a travel carry-on, and a tote for everyday errands. Glad to have a complete set now!
