Versatile

I brought this bag with me on vacation as an everyday bag. It worked with a lot of different outfits and it had magnetic closure which is convenient. Big enough for a water bottle

Reliable brown leather crossbody handbag great for everyday use. Brassy hardware - can wear with gold or silver jewelry. Spacious enough for all the essentials: phone, wallet, keys, lipgloss, etc. without being too over-sized.

Perfect

It’s so cute and goes with everything. Not too big, not too small. Perfect for on the go, but also fit some wipes in there for my toddler.

Casual and practical

This purse is just the right size to hold a wallet, keys, phone and small makeup bag. I used it as an everyday, casual bag.

Perfect size bag

Loved this bag. Fit all the items I needed in it and very easy to carry around. The magnet at the top is pretty strong and keeps the bag closed.

BOUGHT IT

This is a no brainer. It has a metallic snap that keeps it closed and easy in and out. Two straps for holding or crossbody. Buttery soft leather with great stitching. My favorite purchase this year. LOVE

Perfect everyday bag

I ended up buying this. Everything about it is perfect: the quality of the leather, the size, the color, and the security of the bag closure. I love that it's a magnet closure -- it's very secure, but also easy to open and close. The crossbody strap is adjustable, which is nice. I wore it frequently had several co-workers ask me about it (they thought it looked expensive). Highly recommend.

The Perfect Bag!

I still have this out on rental (multiple times) and have considering buying it, however, I was hoping to get a slightly better discount on it ;) This bag fits everything you need for the day, while not being too heavy/bulky. I love the magnet feature and the strap and handles.

Cute

It's cute and perfect for strolling streets, however smaller than anticiapted, so keep that in mind that you won't be able to carry much bulk. IE: sunglass cases. Love the luggage leather color and the magnetic closure was nice.
