I ordered this Heshe black top grain leather purse on Monday, that qualified for two day Free Shipping thru Amazon and it arrived on Thursday ( and I live rurally). As with every product I have ordered from Amazon, EVERY product I ever ordered has arrived ON TIME or EARLY. Kudos to the folks who are ORDER FILLERS at Amazon! As for the product, LADIES this is a wonderful QUALITY purse. This IS top grain leather, thus the smell, which will go away in a few weeks or days. As I am not a purse changer, I buy ONE black leather purse when my current one wears out. I have been looking for a purse for little more than a year in various stores/malls. As everyone knows, when shopping the internet you CAN NOT inspect a product on a computer monitor, so for me I was taking a chance that I wouldn't like the usually things, quality, size, strap etc. This IS a wonderful quality purse. I don't like snaps or FLAPS on my purses I WANT ZIPPERS, for security reasons, such as it is much easier for others to pick your pocket or slip their hand into a purse with a SNAP, MAGNET OR FLAP closure as opposed to a zipper. Also if you drop your purse or it tips over, the contents STAY IN THE PURSE instead of emptying out for all to see or risk loss of something you need. This purse has FOUR main zippers, plus the largest compartment has a full width inside zippered pocket dividing the main compartment in two. The main compartment also has a zippered pocket on one side of the divided main compartment and two slide in pocket for quick access on the opposite side of the main compartment. Great for organizing the contents of your purse, especially if you carry many SMALL, easy to lose items, that are better kept contained for quick access. As every purse/handbag carrier knows, EVERYTHING GOES TO THE BOTTOM. ( I call my purse the "black hole".) Some folks like ONE big compartment, but I like a somewhat organized purse so I am not fumbling or EMPTYING my purse to find what I need, especially in LONG CHECKOUT LINES in stores/banks etc. This is a great purse for organizing, IT is NOT so big you feel like your carrying a piece of luggage/duffle bag around with you, NOR is it SO SMALL that a pocket comb and a postage stamp fill it up. It is a NICE MID SIZE PURSE. and yes, YOU CAN FIT YOUR TABLET AND YOU CELL PHONE and still have room for a wallet and other personal effects with some room to spare. I can't say enough about the QUALITY. It is SUBSTANTIALLY HIGHER QUALITY than many of the purses you see in department stores. including the heavier polyester satin lining and the inside pockets. The strap, while NOT wide in width is THICK leather and ADJUSTABLE for length, which comes shipped inside the purse. I look for functionality in a purse, size, quality and adjustability for EVERYDAY use. As for durability, judging by the weight and quality I THINK this will be a LONG LASTING purse, but only time will tell. As for the critical review, IF you take the time to look, there are at least TWO other purses that are exact or nearly exact style on Amazon and my guess is these reviews ARE FOR ONE OF THE OTHER BRANDS, that LOOK similar/ identical OR some reject product may have got through quality control. THIS is a very nice product. If you are looking for a quality made, LEATHER, mid size, durable purse, this one will not disappoint, you may be as surprised as I was. Read more

I bought this purse last summer (2023) for a trip that would include lots of walking around two large cities. Here are the things I like about this purse: - the price was extremely reasonable. I noticed it has doubled though, which I’m not surprised at. - the quality hardware (zippers, clips and rings) is very sturdy and works smoothly and easily. - the flat bottom makes it hold a surprising amount of stuff. - the size is just right. It is not too big so that is heavy and hard to find things,, but holds a lot. - organization - there are three good-sized zippered compartments outside, and five different compartments inside. - the lining is a rich brown satin that seems like it might have a waterproof backing on it (thicker than plain satin and sturdy). - the color is a nice rich camel. Bottom line: it is attractive, functional and well made. I was quite surprised actually by this purse, and glad I bought it. Really, I have no complaints. Read more

I find this purse to be very helpful for the most part. Pros: - I am the type who has to rifle through my bag for 5 or 10 minutes to find anything. Purses without tons of pockets to organize things are basically like a black hole to me. This bag has so many different pockets allowing me to organize my life so that I can find it. I know exactly which pocket to go to to find what I need. -The bag its self is very sturdy and will not fall apart on you, take it from someone who is hard on purses. -The size is great, not to big, not to small and you can fit anything you need in there. There is no struggles trying to fit your brush and your phone in there at the same time. Cons: -The main purse compartment zipper sometime flips its self in when unzipped which can be a little annoying. That fact doesn't annoy me enough to not recommend it. -I wish this purse had credit card slots. I had my wallet stolen a couple of months back, so I've sworn off wallets. -The weight of the bag without anything in it is just a tad heavier than I would expect. Be careful, you can fit a lot of things in this medium sized bag. It can get a little heavy. The bag has been pretty good for me we'll see how things go during snow storms, but she did just fine during the numerous thunder storms we've had in Chicago. Read more

I love this bag. It is small but mighty it fits a lot in it. I was carrying a lulemon cross body pouch and I loved it but it was too small sometimes. This is the perfect size. The strap is adjustable it’s not heavy the quality of the material is amazing. The color is a nice rich black and the fabric inside is really nice not cheap. It’s a comfortable purse or crossbody bag. I will definitely buy another color Read more

I have been using this bag for a week now and it just okay. The bag is the perfect size and holds a lot more than it would appear to. The multiple pockets and compartments are great for keeping things organzied. My main problem with this bag is how cheap the lining is. The inside lining feels very poorly made, it is a very thin, scratchy material. I feel like if I put the wrong things in my bag or if one of my nails accidently reaches into the bag too fast, the inside lining isgoing to tear. I can already tell this bag will go out of comission based on the insides wearing out, as opposed to the outside looking worn. The hardware/ zippers are also very cheap feeling. I was expecting more from a bag priced over $50. I would only reccomend this bag if it was priced in the $30 area or less. Read more
