Mar 05, 2017Love, love, love...
I will start by saying I am oh, so particular with my accessories. My old black oversized bag was pretty much dying and I've been looking for a replacement for several years...(yes, that picky)! I like clean lines, simple, and hate anything with overbranding. I saw the medium transport tote and really liked it, but knew it would be too small for me. After a few months of checking in, I saw this lovely bag and fell absolutely in love. The leather is great quality, size is perfect for me (I am 5'7" 120 lbs.). And there's a little pocket inside where you can keep your little lip balms, dental floss, or whatever else small things you like to carry with you. My only complaint is that the strap is just slightly shorter than I'd like. While it's easy to get over the shoulder during the spring and summer, if you're wearing an oversized puffy coat in the winter, you'll struggle a little getting it on. I wish I had bought the cognac color too. Love it!

Feb 24, 2017excellent product
The dimensions of this tote are perfect. Quality is great. I absolutely LOVE this bag. The only thing I lament about this tote is that while it's plenty big enough to fit my laptop, my laptop is too heavy for the tote to hold its shape. With that said, I think if any part of the tote (bottom or sides) were more stiff, it wouldn't look as cool. Alas, cool casual leather tote + laptop tote seem to be mutually exclusive wants.

I originally intended this bag to be used for traveling or occasions when I needed a little extra space, but it has become my go to daily bag. Strap length is perfect and the inside pocket holds quite a bit, multiple chapsticks/lip glosses, gum, phone, keys etc. If necessary I can put in my laptop, jacket, and water bottle in addition to my regular purse items without the bag looking or feeling over crowded, but it still looks good mostly empty as well. Simple, classic design paired with top quality that will last me many years to come and makes this tote a great value. I never leave the house without it.

Jan 03, 2017Beautiful and functional
The bag is very sturdy, the leather is of a good quality and I think that the picture doesn't do it a justice. The bag is spacious and I will probably be buying the same model in the other colors as well.

Waited to get this purse & have been using it every day! Perfect for work and trendy enough for an outing. Love how light this purse it- makes it easy to move around and less bulky than a lot of totes- looks good with a lot, or minimal amount of things in the bag. The chestnut color goes very well with outfits for fall. So happy with this purchase!

Dec 16, 2016Perfect for commuting
I've been looking for a black leather bag to carry my laptop, lunch, and other stuff back and forth to work. This is the perfect size! I like that it doesn't have any metal or logo on the outside, and the inside pocket is perfect for keeping my phone and bus pass handy. I'll have this for a long time!
