LoZoDo Women's Leather Top Handle Satchel Handbag - Stylish Shoulder Bag & Tote Purse for Work, Travel & Everyday Use

I was happy to see that the quality is very good and I love the price. Thinking I might need to get it in some other colors too.Very pleased. Leather is great, liner is mediocre, stitching is fraying but strong, edging is coming loose.I've used this as my main purse for a few months now. I'm a little rough on my purse since I take it to the casino and shimmy the shoulder strap over the side table for convenience and security. (Imagine sliding the shoulder straps over an ironing board that's at chair level, allowing the purse to dangle below).I really dig this bag! It's a great size and isn't too wide that it gets in the way while I walk. The straps are narrow and if you tend to load your purse VERY heavy, it will dig into your shoulder. I keep a medium-heavy bag and it bothers me at the end of the day only if I've kept it on my shoulder the whole time. The shoulder straps are adjustable with 3 notches. The standard length is nice but I loosened mine to accommodate the aforementioned side table. It also no longer snags on my elbow if I take the purse off my shoulder with the same arm.The leather is impressively lovely given the price and has a wonderful color to it. The texture looks and feels consistent. I like the big front pocket that is perfect for a phone (no matter how big the phone) + a long, skinny lip balm. However, you can see in the picture that it has a bit of a bend right where that pocket is. This both keeps the phone secure but also a tad cumbersome to slide your phone in and out. I tend to hold the top of the purse (with my non-dominant hand) to keep the front taught, then the phone slides in and out much easier. I have a galaxy 7 but I'd imagine any phone would easily fit this pocket.I do not use the long, hooked, strap. However, the edging on the shorter shoulder strap is already coming off. This is a concern for me. I don't know if I should glue it back down or rip off the entire edging. I took a peek and the edge of the strap would not look ugly without the edging- just a less-polished look. There is also a slight amount of fraying from the stitching. It doesn't look bad yet and the stitching is still holding strong so I'm not bothered by it.It should be noted that the inner lining only attaches at the rivets that attach the shoulder straps to the bag. If you aren't careful, you could inadvertently place a small object between the leather and the liner. I've only done this once or twice and it was very easy to retrieve the lost lip balm at the bottom of the bag. The inner lining is cheap plastic which does not feel nice. If they undated the liner this would instantly gain another star. But it's definitely still worth it to me given the price. There is a zippered pocket that divides the purse in half. It stays uprights and firm.The purse does zip but not all the way. It will be 90% secure on the side the zipper starts, and leave quite a big gap on the opposite side. Really it's just a theft deterrent so someone can't easily steal your wallet while you aren't looking. While at first I thought this gap on one side was a con, I actually find it a blessing! I now slide a water bottle between the leather and the lining. This keeps it water-resistant (maybe -proof?) from the items in my purse, and I can completely zip the purse with the top of the water bottle sticking out. If I weren't such a lazy person I'd upload a picture for you...but alas....Love this purse! The color and structure are great. I have been looking for a Fall purse and looked through quite a few, but this has worked perfectly!Purse was not large and roomyLike bag but black edging has all peeled offThis handbag is okay I doubt if I would buy it again thoI need a bag like this oneI've been trying to smooth and stretch this bag out to its correct shape after it was shipped in just a plain vinyl mailer :( It was folded like a paper bag and there is a terrible crease that causes the bag to fold back in on itself and not stand up. Otherwise, the bag is great. It's sturdy and spacious and doesn't have any weird smells or immediate obvious flaws.Really disappointed in the shipping method, but for the price i think it's not the worst deal. Hopefully the gentle re-shaping will work.I bought this bag as a gift for my wife and even I feel very proud of myself. Good quality leather and it serves her well for both formal and informal outings. Highly recommended product
