"I love all the zippered compartments inside and out. The bag sits without falling over and the details on the outside are a nice touch. The leather and craftsmanship is great as always. The color works well with everything. I love the size too."
"This purse was for my sister-in-law‘s birthday. She turned 65 and I felt that it was fitting that she had a nice new purse. She loves it. It’s got all the compartments that she needs is big enough to haul around all the stuff she needs for her grandchildren plus it’s elegant. She loves the fact that it’s gold. She is a gold person. So I would say that this definitely receives all the stars that you have. Great purchase."
"I've carried daily for several weeks now. Love the separate areas, including inside and outside with zippers for some and overall magnetic closure. Plenty of room while still being structured with soft leather."
"Love it so much. Can’t wait for matching wallet to arrive too. Would like an up date on the wallets I could not figure out how to send picture along with this review"
"I love the gold leather. This purse has a zipper pocket in the center for valuables. I will use for traveling because it is big enough for essentials but not too heavy."
"I love this bag! I’ve been looking for a cute but practical bag for a while & I have finally found it! The leather is so soft & has just the right amount of “scrunch” I love the 3 separate compartments"
"Reminds me of the sea and sand, taking me back to lovely vacations every time I look at this well made very classic bag. I find it easy to carry and it brightens my day!"
"This is not quality leather and is mot worth the money i spent."
"EXACTLY what I wanted! Has all the right pocket, the right size! Really love it!"
"The product received is exactly as was described online."
