Just ordered another Wise Owl Leather Crossbody Purse. It is fantastic. I already have one in Teal, Black and now Red. Beautifully made, plenty of pockets for all my things. The leather is soft and pliable. Very nicely made. They have many different colors available. Read more

I was pleasantly surprised at how great this bag was for the reasonable price. The color was perfect for me - not burgundy or orange-red, just a true rich Christmas red. The leather is soft and doesn't have a funny smell. I love the skinny strap, lots of pockets and fits my I phone. I will definitely purchase from this company in the future when I need another purse.

I have gotten three of these. They were ALL supposed to be Vintage Grey. The first was coffee and Amazon replaced it. The third I ordered for someone in another part of the US. My thinking was that another fulfillment center would actually send Vintage Grey. Wrong--some other shade of brown--Coffee, again? I contacted the seller after I received the replacement. Since I was unable to upload a photo they could do nothing. I even suggested they contact Amazon and try to send a supervisor to look at their product to determine the color. Finally gave up. The third was send to me by a friend and I will keep it. Workmanship is excellent, leather is beautiful even if the wrong color. It's worth the price. Just don't be too disappointed if you don't get the color you order. You can tell the color by looking at the fabric around the metal zipper. Grey is grey and brown is brown. This is my third purchase of a Wise Owl crossbody bag. The one I just received is Cognac Multiwax. The color is exactly what I wanted. The size is perfect for my needs. The leather is thick and soft. The zippers slide smoothly; the stitching is perfect. Everything I want to carry fits in this bag. I couldn't be happier. Going forward I will stick with Wise Owl products. I would have preferred to write a new review for the Cognac Multiwax product I just received however Amazon will only let me edit my previous review. Read more

I received this purse well packaged and in new condition. I was hoping for a purse that would have a sturdy cross body strap, hold my 10" tablet and still not be oversized, and this meets those requirements. With the purse otherwise empty, a sheaf of 8-1/2" x 11" notebook paper fits and just barely allows the zipper to close; there is 1-1/2" width to spare. The seams and fasteners are all well placed, the leather is even texture and the color is even throughout The purse strap seems fairly solid, easily long enough and easy to adjust. The edge of the strap is raw cut leather and whatever the fill material is; previous purses have always had a folded and sewn edge. The strap is not stiff where it is a single layer, but more so where the length is doubled to the adjustment buckle. I imagine the raw edge may be irritating worn against the neck, particularly with any weight in it and for any prolonged use; I can only hope that that edge softens further with wear, flexing of the material. The zippers on the exterior pockets are large toothed metal, conspicuous and hopefully sturdy. The zipper on the inside pocket is plastic/nylon, and feels a bit cheap - luckily, there should be little strain on it. The inner zip pocket is on the side without exterior pockets. It was initially stuck at only 1/2" deep; apparently the fabric was tightly folded. I was dismayed until I managed to expand the pocket. That inner zipper is 6-1/4" wide/long, the pocket itself ~7" wide and 6-1/4" deep. The 2 inner pouch pockets on the opposite wall of the purse extend maybe 2/3 down inside; my mid sized cell phone fits and is rests deep enough to feel secure. One pocket is ~3" wide, the other is ~4-3/4" wide; they are both 5-1/4" deep. The top of the pocket is 2" below the zipper closure. The exterior pockets have no inside loops or pockets. I have not used this enough to get an idea on the color rubbing off, have not gotten it wet to see if it bleeds onto my clothing or the contents. I hope not, since wet is inevitable in the fall winter and spring of my local climate. Read more

This bag is my favorite because of the look and feel of the material. The dark vintage color and worn-in like softness and contrast of the bulky antiqued bronze zippers... It just fits my vibe. There are two things I would change, though: - The strap is not like the rest of the material - it is stiff and thin and doesn't have the same vintage look - it is just a matte black strap. This really could be improved. Although the length is perfect for cross body wear, which is one of the things I love about it. - Offer a bigger size! This bag has limited space because of the stacked 3 pockets but that could be remedied by offering a larger size bag. I would absolutely buy a large size. Right now I can fit my wallet, keys, and phone. I wish I could stash my kid's epi-pen bag and travel-size safety kit inside it too. Right now I have to switch between this and a little leather backpack depending on if my school-aged kids are in tow or not. Read more

The media could not be loaded. Not top grain leather, but the price point is a huge plus. This purse has enough depth that my pocket book fits standing on it's side as well as horizontal. A huge plus for me to be able to just throw it in without thinking how it's going to fit. There are 3 pockets and all are deep enough to fit glasses case size with plenty of room in each. The zippers are nice. I have had no problem with them. The strap is adjustable and works well as a cross body or a shoulder bag. It's small size is deceiving. It holds way more than I expected. It was my go to for our past out of town trips. It kept everything secure with the zippers and was deep enough to have a water bottle. For the price, I would purchase again. Read more
