I love this pocketbook! I love the color, I love the quality, I love the size. You can feel the quality as soon as you touch the bag. My last pocketbook that was the same color bergundy ( my favorite) wound up chipping in the corners and it looked terrible. I can see that that is not going to be happening with this pocketbook with the real leather.. The color is not painted on. It is fairly thick leather. I cannot speak to the crossbody strap because I Incorporated a chain. But it looks amazing and feels amazing. It fits everything I need it to... housekeys, key fob, s23 Ultra, earpods, lip chap and/or lipstick. As long as the zippers hold up this bag should last a very long time. One thing to note is that the outside zipper pocket is not big enough for an s23 Ultra, so there's that. But, it's not a deal-breaker, and I am happy with this pocketbook 😊 Read more
Ever since purchasing my BIG iPhone 6s Plus, I have been on the hunt for a way to comfortably carry it when I did not want to carry my big purse. I have back trouble and for times when I needed to walk long distances (like an outdoor art show) and was unable to carry my regular purse, an added plus would be to find something that had just a little extra room for credit cards and money. Another requirement for me, or at least a strong preference, was for genuine full grain leather. I wanted something that would be attractive, easy to carry, durable and functional. Of course, I also figured that if I ever found this elusive product, it would cost me a small fortune. So I looked in stores, I searched through leather booths at art shows, kept my eyes open for something that would work every time we traveled to other places, always on the lookout for my special phone bag. Then one day I decided to look on Amazon… and that is how I found this one. I couldn’t believe the price for something that was suppose to be top grain leather. But I read the description, read the reviews, viewed the pictures and decided to try it. It seemed too perfect and I was prepared for disappointment. Imagine my surprise and delight when my red beauty arrived and I realized it was everything it was advertised to be! At least for me, this was the perfect solution to my dilemma. I was immediately struck by the high quality exhibited in the craftsmanship of this bag. The stitching was straight and even. Even the hardware is heavy and beautifully finished and the bag is fully lined in a satiny material. It is the perfect size for my phone in a wallet style case, plus it gives ample space for many cards, an inside zipper pocket and an open pocket for folding money, so that you don’t even need a wallet! There is also an outside zipper pocket that you can either wear out or next to your body for added security of the contents. The color was much richer than the picture indicated and the leather is oh so soft and supple! The shoulder strap is long and adjustable, and rather than the plastic edging on the strap that others use that cracks and quickly becomes unsightly, this is lined with a heavy woven tape that matches the color of the leather perfectly. An added bonus is the removable wrist strap for those times when you do not want or need the shoulder strap. In my last picture, you can see from the zipper tab what the thickness of the leather is and the suppleness is apparent. I am so glad that I took a chance on this bag. It is everything they claimed it to be and I doubt that I could have designed anything more perfect for my specific need. I would not hesitate to recommend this to anyone. It is durable, functional and beautiful! I also see more colors in my future… :-) Read more
If you're on the fence about purchasing this bag, TAKE MY ADVICE & JUST BUY IT! YOU WILL NOT BE SORRY! This wristlet is VERY WELL MADE to say the least! I was NOT expecting this level of quality especially given the price. I read other reviews about how great the quality was but I had no idea it was going to be THIS NICE! I enjoy high end clothes, bags, jewelry etc, however I also enjoy saving money wherever I can & feeling like I got a great deal. Who doesn't! It's not often that I 'HIGHLY RECOMMEND' a purchase but this one is a game changer! I will be purchasing more of these as gifts for Christmas & birthdays. Befen truly went ABOVE & BEYOND with this bag! The size is perfect, the straps are very well made with attention to great detail. There's plenty of room for cards, phone, lip gloss/lipstick, mascara etc. The layout has been clearly well thought out. From the smell of the leather (I've actually picked it up several times just to smell of it), the lush, soft feel of the leather, the smooth function of the zippers, the stitching of the lined interior, the heavy duty clasps that attaches the wrist strap & the extended strap...everything puts this bag in the same category with the higher end bags, the "big names" in the bag industry! This bag is well worth every dime & MORE! I'm actually shocked that they can sell this bag at this price. I will forever purchase bags from Befen! Read more
I love this bag! I'll be ordering more. It is genuine leather, soft-sided and very lightweight. Strap is sewn correctly, not with a zigzag stitch. I wish it were a little bigger as there are only 4 compartments and a card holder. It's much less expensive than many of the vinyl products ( I ordered several for comparison.) And it comes in 40 colors. My only complaint is the side zip pocket is NOT big enough for my phone. The phone fits nicely into the main compartment but that leaves very little space for other items (like keys.) If the side pocket was just a half inch wider, the phone would fit fine. It's still a nice bag and a great value for the money. Read more
Bought this to carry cash/cards during a trip to the Christmas Markets in Germany and Austria. It is the perfect size to wear as a cross body under your coat. The strap length is perfect. It IS genuine leather and so soft. I attached the wrist strap to the top zipper for easy opening and closing. I was impressed with the number of pockets and card slots. And, the amount of room the interior offered. Easy to organize essentials. I expected it to be of far less quality for the price, and I was pleasantly surprised at how well made it is. Everything about this bag is perfect! Read more
