LOVE

I absolutely love this bag! I was unsure about the size and if I’d prefer a medium or large tote instead, I’ve ended up totally in love with this bag! I love how you can leave the drawstrings open or pulled tight to give it a different look. Just enough space for my stuff without giving me too much room- I’ve even used it as a makeshift diaper bag when needed.

Cute!!

Very cute bag, Goes with every outfit. It's also just big enough to take everything you need, but not too big to look clumsy.

Perfect size. Holds a wallet, a small cosmetic bag and still has plenty of room. Looks great

Will go with anything...

Large enough to fill with what you need yet on the smaller side. Love the color of black it is.

Beautiful style

This bag is very pretty. I got it in the black color and the leather is very nice quality. I love that it has shoulder straps and a crossbody strap. It fits all my things plus more space to use. My only complaint is that I wish the crossbody strap was a bit more sturdier. It just doesn’t feel substantial enough especially for the size bag that it is. Other than that it’s a great bag and would recommend.

Perfect Fall Bag

I am so crazy in love with this bag. I bought the original tote in February and returned it because i felt like there was a lack of structure. I then proceeded to think about my mistake until the end of August. I even had it engraved with my initials so I couldn't change my mind again. I follow a lady on instagram named Tara, she's obsessed with these bags and mentioned that she uses a tote bag organizer she found online to keep everything tidy. That thing is a dang game changer! When I got the bag, I put the organizer inside and it gives the bag a better weight and feels luxurious and structured. I love the way the leather feels in my hands and the way the bag smells. I love the sheer simplicity of the bag and I have found that the liner adds so much value. So, it is a perfect bag, I love it more than any other designer brand that I own. The drawsting adds something a little extra special to it. Without the liner, the bag is not floppy but I STRONGLY recommend one.
