This is a great bag. Well-made, sturdy, and good looking. A wonderful bag for the professional woman who has a lot to carry and doesn't want the formal briefcase look. It would have been a 5 star rating if there were more pockets inside for the small items.
But felt compelled to do so. This is the best bag I have ever purchased. It is big, roomy, able to hold all of my essentials and then some. It is surprisingly light too. I have had other bags and discarded them because of the weight. I love this bag and highly recommend it. I just wish it had a lighter fabric because it is so dark in there. Other than that, a great bag. Buttery soft leather, beautifully made and perfect.
Beautiful, quality bag. I ordered the brown medium tote at my daughter's request. She is attending a New England College for performing arts. I prefer the brown over the black because the tan lining allows for excellent visibility inside vs the dark black liner. Many sewn in pockets for everything imaginable. Perfect to put her laptop and books in along with rehearsal clothes, phone, chargers, make-up, and lunch! She plans to use it for class, performances, overnights in NYC and as her travel bag on airplanes along with her carry-on for longer trips. The medium tote is "not too heavy" as some reviewers have noted on the larger tote. The leather is fabulous. A piece for life that will look even better after each journey it is taken on.
I love my high quality tote. I chose black leather and it is large, beautiful and durable. I have not had this satchel very long. There is ample storage but there is one significant downfall. For such a good amount of space, you would think there would be more pockets so the tote would be more user friendly. That is my only complaint. I rated it 4 stars but it's actually a 3.75 due to lack of more pockets.
