Perfect everyday accessory!

Loved the look and feel of this cute purse. Perfect for date night or running errands. Although a smaller purse it held everything I needed!

Rent this bag!

This was a great bag! The tan color went with everything. I wanted to dip my toe into the trend without purchasing!

Love it

I prefer smaller purses, and this one was just right - and I think it fits more than it seems like it would. Have been using it everyday. It's also very soft.

Cute, wouldn’t buy

Cute bag in a trendy style, holds a decent amount and goes with everything. Leather seems of good quality. It doesn’t really stay up on my shoulder so would not be worth the price to buy, but I’m happy to rent it for awhile.

The color goes with so many things. Definitely a short strap but that means you can carry it multiple ways.

This bag is a great size and comfortable shoulder bag, but it doesn't hold its shape well with wear.

Slippery Fella

I like the color, the feel of the material and holds a lot of my stuff. BUT unfortunately the material was pretty slippery to have it on your shoulder, it kept sliding off so i had to always hold it on my arm or hand and looked awkward doing so.

Zero shape

The bag has zero shaped to it. didn’t wear it. It just looks sloppy with my outfits.
