SCARLETON Genuine Leather Tote Bag for Women - Stylish Reversible Purse & Handbag (Model H1842) - Perfect for Work, Travel & Everyday Use

I do like this purse. I had searched and searched for a purse with this type of magnetic closure. I very much dislike a zipper opening, and I dislike the magnets that you have to line up perfectly to click in the little peg. I really wanted a magnet purse that didn't require such effort, and this purse fits that bill. I really didn't care about being able to reverse the purse. I would have actually preferred one that didn't reverse, had some pockets inside, but had this type of magnetic closure. But I just couldn't find that.So be aware that the inside of this purse (because of its reversible quality) is just an opening with no pockets whatsoever. I have put a purse organizer inside, however, that I had hanging around from when I used to have a Miche purse. That organizer is great, because you can lift out the contents easily from within a purse and transfer it to another. It works great inside this type of purse, that only has one main opening. I did a quick search, and there are similar items here on Amazon which I think would work nicely within this purse. I also like the coin pouch that came with this purse, and I have my coins and bills inside of it. I don't use cash often, so keeping it separate like that, out of the way, is nice. I have also attached my keys to that ring inside, where the coin pouch attaches. I like that.This purse is on the smaller size, so also be aware of that. It's what I wanted however. I dislike huge, bulky purses where your stuff just disappears inside and you can't find anything. Having a smaller shape keeps the clutter in check. And having a smaller shape also keeps the purse lighter and easier to carry.My biggest disappointment with this purse are that you cannot remove the shorter handles. The purse shape and size works nicely for a crossbody purse. But because you can't remove those shorter handles, it doesn't look great as a crossbody. Those shorter handles are stiff enough that it doesn't work well to try and fold them down inside the purse. Maybe they will soften over time. But as it stands, I probably won't use this as a crossbody, even though that's what I had wanted to do.Be aware also that reversing this purse is difficult to do. The material is very stiff, and it's a struggle to turn it inside out. I do like the look of it when it is reversed, but because of the difficulty involved, I probably won't use it as such. I would imagine that the suede-type fabric is going to look gnarly pretty quickly anyway. So I will just leave that on the inside.I found a cute way to dress up the purse. Using the rivets on the sides (where the shoulder strap attaches), you can insert a little scarf and add a punch of color. I love it!I gave this tote bag as a gift to a friend and she loved it. One side was black and the other side had a cheetah animal print. It looked better in person than in the photos. Though the bag wasn't made of genuine leather, it didn't look or feel cheap at all. This bag is perfect for laptops, iPads, or items for an overnighter. Very versatile.I got this identical bag about 10 years ago and even though I own about 40 purses it’s literally the only one I use 99% of the time, unfortunately a couple years ago at surgery really wear down and break down and fall apart but I still wouldn’t stop using it. All my friends laughed at me and said he was one of your other dozens of bags! But I couldn’t let it go, I finally spent a couple days searching all over Google and it led me to this bag and I couldn’t be happier when it arrived it’s the exact same bag! So I can only assume it will last as long as the last one. It looks great in either color it’s soft and big and super comfortable! I love it!I rarely write reviews, but this product impresses me for its versatility and style given the price.Very nice bag for the price. And it's reversible!!I bought this for work. I’m in the dental field, I throw my wallet my make up cell phone my lunch bag and my lab coat and I’m good to goSiempre había comprado los bolsos directamente en las tiendas; con este bolso me arriesgué y me fue súper bien; el material es de excelente calidad, el tamaño es ideal para las mujeres q nos gusta los boldo amplios; combina con todo, es funcional y muy cómodo. Excelente compra.Nice tote. It is very sturdy and I really like magnetic closure. Reason for 4 star vs 5 star - bottom needs to be a bit wider so bag will sit upright. Bottom is so narrow it just falls over. Other than that it is a really nice bag!Was looking for an inexpensive reversible tote that I could use for everyday life. Initially was going to buy a similar bag from Nordstrom but found it heat at a fraction of the cost.Package came well protected and in brand new condition. Love the colours. Found it can be a bit challenging to reverse it, but knew it was because it was stitched very well and secured. Looks well made and has carried a lot of weight.Would be great if it had a small pocket gimmick watch side but overall am very pleased with it.This bag is not very attractive. It looks a little cheaply made and the exterior sides sort of stick out no matter how often I try to realign the bag. Also, the handles could have been a little longer (this bag won't fit on my shoulder when I am wearing my winter coat).It is wide and there is a lot of space to put stuff in, but for me, this bag does not match the price point, nor does it really meet my expectations.I really love this bag! So far so good, it’s held up nicely and fits all my essentials for the work day. I usually use a longchamp tote as my work bag but wanted to switch it up a bit, and this bag was not only way cheaper price wise but looks great too. I haven’t had any issues with it peeling or ripping or anything yet, and hopefully it stays that way. I do carry quite a bit on a day to day basis and it’s held up perfectly!I'm quite happy with this bag. I intend to use it for meetings and conferences. I can place my regular purse or backpack inside it. It can be placed on a floor and can be easily whipped out in and out when needed.It has an insert for the bottom that I'm not sure serves any purpose. The insert is relatively heavy and I'm not sure it helps no matter how you use this bag.I was really impressed with the quality for the price! This will totally be my “go to” bag... colour is just like the picture
