When I opened the box I loved the smell and look of the leather of this purse. But after only a week of use it started looking very worn. The edges on the bottom had already lost their shine. So back it goes! Maybe feet on the bottom would help.

Ordered this bag in all 3 colors but only kept the Black because the other bags arrived with some damage. I receive many compliments on this bag. It looks sooooo expensive and the price is just right!

I would have liked the bag if it had a magnetic close. The leather was excellent quality, but I returned it because I did not like the zipper.

Great style and leather. Really roomy but very lightweight. Have to agree though that the zipper is a bit odd!

Ok, I am so mad at HSN. I ordered this bag last week in the camel and just received it today. It is USED. Yes, I kid you not, it is USED. Why do they keep doing this? The corners are so dark they are almost black and there are huge wrinkles in the back. The strap has a pen mark on it and someone left a receipt in it. Back it goes. This is really depressing. I really wanted this BAD.

I thought this bag was aweful. First of all it's HUGE! Secondly I must have received a previous return because the leather was really dry and marked. The zipper looked cheap and akward considering it didn't go the length of the top of the bag. The double straps kept falling off. I would pay $40 for this bag! Back it goes and will probably be passed off to the next unfortunate victim.

The leather smells great and I love the style of the bag. But, the zipper is weird. It seems to be a half zipper and oddly placed on this bag. To me this bag should've had a magnetic closure in order to be able to access the opening of the bag better. Also, I love the shine of the leather but the wrinkles in it bother me. It makes it look like cheap hard leather. Contemplating on whether I should keep it or not.

First let me say that the bag is beautiful. It is very well made and the color rose is to die for. It is a nice size and the organization inside is great. However, my bag had a very obnoxious odor that I can only attribute to the finishing of the leather. It is a chemical smell that permeates the whole bag and anything around it. Sadly I must return it. I won't take a chance on another.

This bag is beautiful. Sumptuous leather and great hardware. My only issue is that I'm a very tiny woman, 5' 100lbs. and the bag is big for my small frame. Will have to decide if it's doable or looks like it's swallowing me up. I would however recommend to anyone because it's so worth the price.

I got this bag in the luggage Thurs. nite and carried it to work Fri. morning. I got so many compliments, everyone noticed this bag. I absolutely love the rich, buttery, caramel color. Such supple leather, and high quality. It rivals the Hobo International bags that I love so much, and at a fraction of the price. Already have my eye on a couple more to add to my collection.

This is a very roomy bag, vertically speaking, and there are times when one needs that. The zipper covers most of the top, but there's room on either side to reach inside for smaller objects without unzipping, and you could tuck a furled folding umbrella in on one side. A rolled newspaper could fit, too. The one problem I have is that the zipper sometimes sticks. I love the dusty rose color. I'm hoping the oiled leather is as water-resistant as it looks.

I adore this bag! I bought the luggage, which is the perfect year-round neutral. The bag's lightweight, soft, spacious, has a beautifully slim silhouette and has amazing hardware. This bag should be worth hundreds more. I own upscale bags but this bag rivals them all. Plus, I love its well organized interior. The love letter lining is a beautiful bonus.

I am very happy I made this purchase. I am very loyal to a famous upscale store for their leather bags however I wanted a bag with less weight because I go from day to night and I tend to carry around my life in my handbags. I bought it only for spring/summer use but as it turns out my winter coat and several other accessories mathes as well. Now I have my 4 season BAG! Unfortunately I don't need credit card slots however I may just use it for business cards.

I JUST RECEIVED THIS BAG THE OTHER DAY AND I LOVE IT. THE LEATHER IS SOFT AND THE COLOR IS BEAUTIFUL. I GOT THE ROSE ONE. I REALLY LOVE THE INSIDE OF THE BAG , IT HAS PLENTY OF POCKETS FOR PENS, CREDIT CARDS,CELL PHONE, OR WHATEVER YOU WANT. I LIKE BIGGER BAGS, AND THIS ONE IS A NICE SIZE FOR ME. I TIED A SCARF IN ONE OF THE GROMMETS AND IT'S CUTE AND FRESH LOOKING. I HAVE ANOTHER BARR AND BARR BAG, BOTH ARE REALLY WELL MADE AND I GET LOTS OF COMPLIMENTS. THANKS HSN

This bag is just divine! I love the oiled leather. I have several other bags from a well-known designer who calls the same material "waxed leather"; his bags sell for a couple of hundred dollars more but this bag is the same high quality. This kind of leather has worn well for a couple of years for me and still looks "show-room" new. I got the rose;it's really a beautiful shade. The style of the bag is fabulous too. Not too much hardware or bling--just big on style.
