Poor Quality
This could be an Amazon item…MAYBE! Unfinished, Unlined and just unacceptable low end merchandise. I have purchased other items from this brand and was never so displeased…immediate return!

Quality Difference
Noticed the quality of certain Totes, my Indigo suede has structure. The black studded that I returned was scuffed, discolored and hard. Leather Burnt olive such a beautiful color and it's so soft and slouchy.

Stiff Leather
Quality craftsmanship, but I can’t get past the stiff, plastic-like, coated leather. It is not supple as the photos suggest. I will be returning it.

Quality used to be better
I purchased this same bag pre covid - the quality of the leather now is very thin and vinyl like

My most carried bag
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Holds my laptop, I toss it around and the leather has held up, it's truly such a great staple bag and worth the price!

Great but I wish it was more secure
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] A chic bag that holds lots, including a laptop for work. 13 inch fits well and 16 inch works if I don’t have anything else bulky in it. My big concern is that it’s just a magnetic closure in the middle, not a full zipper.
