I purchased the taupe bag. The quality was very good. I love the key fob, the extra zippered bag and there's a lot of room. The only thing I didn't like was the shape of the bag when I wasn't carrying it. I will use the bag but it won't be the first one I reach for.

I got toast....WOW! Beautiful craftsmanship, shiney patent, functional, lots of pockets and room, three different looks, I love B&B. It opens wide so you can get alot in it. When I carry it to school or out it catches everybodys eye even the men look at it. This purse is great if you want to raise the look of your purse wardrobe.

I got the toast color. I was so excited from the moment I ordered I could not wait to receive and I am SOOOO happy. I love it! I brought it to work, put it on my desk and every person that walks by has to come back to tell me "I Love Your Bag" where did you get it. My teenage daughter already told me she's waiting for me to switch bags so she can take it. I am looking forward to purchasing more Barr + Barr purses.

My 4th Barr & Barr this one in the Toast color also an awesome color. I don't find it too heavy but then I am used to carrying so much stuff in my handbags that I have gotten used to carrying a lot of weight. This is a roomy handbag but as in all her handbags not difficult for you to find what you need and the pockets make it easy to place your blackberry and find it when you need it quickly.
I already have my eye on 3 more. So far, my 4 previous purchases, at least for me, are 5 star ratings.

Love the style and all the details that Barr & Barr are so good at - but this bag is just too heavy for me and perhaps a bit stiff.

I was a little bit skeptical when it comes to the banana color. I've always stuck to the basic black or brown. It took me a while to finally take a gamble on a red purse and so I must have viewed this product at least 20 times before deciding to finally get it. When I got this bag out of the box I was absolutely smitten. The color is not overwhelming at all. I love the entire design. I've received great compliments and I love how beautiful yet very practical it is. There's plenty of room for all my things...including a couple of diapers and a Huggies wipe box...among other necessities.
It's elegant, durable, and attractive. I give it 100% approval.

I currently have two B+B bags in the patent leather. Both are lovely bags which I would love to keep. However, I noticed that on one side of a wall on one of them, the patent has strangely crinkled and looks wrinkled, whereas the other side of the same wall is gorgeous and smooth. Occurs even with a full handbag & looks strange. On another handbag, one handle is smooth patent, the other is wrinkled and rough texture to the touch - like an elephant's skin. Because of this, I am not confident of the quality of the patent process or leather (I am not a handbag expert to nail the problem exactly), I just know that other patent handbags I've had did not have this issue. I think I will stick with the pebbled leathers in this line.

Can't say enough about this one. Own tons of handbags, several barr + barr bags, and this is one of my favorites. Gorgeous, quality leather. Great design. I got the banana which is so unique (hardly ever see a patent leather pale yellow bag). I was afraied it would be a little larger than I wanted, but it's really a nice size. I just love this bag!

The size is perfect! It doesn't look too big, & yet it has a lot of room to easily find my stuff. I ordered the toast & cherry, and they are absolutely beautiful! I highly recommend these bags...the patent is definitely very dressy, but the colors are neutral enough to go with anything.

... so if you want it in white - one will be available soon. It's a nice bag - just a bit matronly for me - I want to like patent leather bags - but it never works out for me. Opened the box - saw it and knew it was not for me...

I have been in search of the perfect white summer bag for me for the last 5 years (since my earlier favorite of 15 years was too worn to use again). Well I was skeptical, but this one fit the bill. Beautiful leather, supple with a nice patent sheen. Great size and not too heavy. It is a must buy!

I purchased this for my daughter (who picked it out herself).
I called to see if she liked it when it came. She was so happy with it. She said the tangerine color was so spectacular. She was impressed with the size and storage she will have. She was thrilled. She plans to purchase more of BARR and BARR.

While I was ordering the last one in cherry, it sold out! I was heartbroken. I kept checking and(waitlist) it finally arrived yesterday. This purse is Helen's best yet and I have at least 8 of them. The leather is beautiful and supple with a rich color saturation. It's trendy but not over the top and a perfect size.
I love the long shoulder strap. Banana is next. Thanks Helen! You're my hero.

This is a beautiful bag. The leather is amazing (and yes...smells like leather). The inside of the bag is very stylish. It comes with a bonus bag inside, other then the storage bag. You will love this.

Perfect, perfect, perfect! It took me some time to adjust to the weight, but let me tell you..any hesitations you might have due to the weight...sleep on it, well worth it. So happy w/my delicous banana color, I went back for the cherry and tangerine. Very happy...but then again, I have yet to be disappointed with any of my 12 Barr and Barr's...all great quality.

I ordered the Banana, & it's Gorgeous! Note that the color on-line is not even close to what it really is. Much more "soft LEMON", a more real yellow than the beige version, on line. Nice surprise w/the detachable case on the inside. Size is great. Sits well on the shoulder. Definitely a bit HEAVY - but not so much so to return it. I've rec'd many compliments. This bag looks very high end. Glad I got it on the This Day Only price, w/Flex Pay...a bonus!

This is an amazing handbag...well constructed, great design, and so comfortable to carry. It does weigh a bit more than cheap bags, but real leather always weighs more. Do yourselves a favor and treat yourself...I did, and would do it again in a minute. Thank you so much, Barr + Barr!
