I have been looking at this bag for awhile now. It took a bit to get used to the shoulder strap being shorter than what I am used to but now I love it! After a few weeks on spot on the back side started to shift color. There is a ton of space in this bag. I do enjoy the overall look of the product.
I just received my bag. I ordered the Cocoa Brown color and I think it looks great with the leather trim. This really is a nice casual shoulder bag. I love that it zips closed under the flap! I hate when I toss my bag in the car and things spill out the top. My only complaint is that even if you adjust the shoulder strap to the longest position it is not long enough to wear as a cross body bag. This is the only reason why I have given it 4 stars as if I am doing a lot of walking or am in an unfamiliar town I like the security of a wearing my bag across my body.
In need of a casual purse for all seasons, I turned here: a satchel that will age marvelously as the leather scratches and the canvas softens. When empty, it's mercifully lightweight; when full, it maintains a structured look. Perfect with jeans, it will look great with summer dresses, too. Many compliments from both women and men who would never guess its reasonable price point. A note: many reviewers wrote that the strap is too short for cross-body wear; I'm 5'8" and long-torsoed and found it plenty long (hits at the hip), even over a big winter coat, when the buckle is in the middle hole.
