Promising review: "The purse is beautiful and roomy. I especially like the option of using either the shorter handle or snapping that off and putting on the longer shoulder handle. The longer handle is adjustable and I've been able to shorten it to the perfect length for my height. I have arthritis so it's difficult for me to carry a heavy purse with my hands. I'm hope, hope, hoping that the handle holds up because I tend to fill my purse with all kinds of things so it can be pretty heavy." —debbiedarline

I've had this bag for a few years now and it is my forever go-to. My husband got me it for my birthday so that he could surprise me with my *new* initials. It fits all of my day-to-day items (and then some) and is made of soft, lovely leather. I love it so much I gifted one to both of my sisters.
Promising review: "This is such a great size tote if you're looking for something a bit smaller than the original Transport. There is plenty of room inside and the outside pocket is really convenient. I picked it up in English Saddle and it's just beautiful!" —Kpine

So much fits into it and the pouch inside allows everything to stay in place and on the sides of the pouch I can put a water bottle and eyeglasses case, so it's wonderful and so practical.

Promising review: "I got this as a Christmas gift from my husband and I am absolutely amazed at how beautiful this bag is. It’s my first high-end designer bag and it’s perfect. I love that I can find all my things in it and it doesn’t slouch like a potato sack. I can easily grab what I need without looking like a complete mess at the grocery check out line. A lot of people says it has a strong chemical odor but all I smell is leather so I personally enjoy it." —Ashley

Ever since I started commuting into the city for work I've had one of these hanging off my arm. There are many colors available, so whether you'd prefer a more neutral look or a pop of color you'll be able to achieve it! I love that the bag won't get damaged if I'm stuck in a sudden rain or snow storm. It also easily fits my laptop along with all my other things. High praise for this classic tote!

Promising review: "I'm madly in love with this purse! The color is exactly as its shown on the picture and it feels just like real leather. Although its faux-leather, its extremely durable! It's surprisingly water resistant too. I'd consider this to be a medium-sized bag. Its the perfect 'everyday' bag." —Jacob A.

Promising review: "This set is definitely worth the price. The quality is super nice and they’re very sturdy. Decently sized as well. I was worried the largest hand bag would be too large but all three are perfectly sized. Not too small, not too big. I didn’t have any issues with zippers or folds in the purses. Some purses I’ve ordered come with a weird smell that lingers for a while but these didn’t. I highly recommend getting them." —Alex

Promising review: "I bought this bag before leaving to study abroad in Europe. I wanted something with enough room for the necessities — phone, charger, wallet, sunglasses — and this bag did all that and more. A crossbody bag can't be yanked away by a thief, and I'd wear the bag on my right hip so all the zippers faced front, my right hand resting comfortably on top as I walked. Six months, five countries (including a week in central Rome), and I wasn't pickpocketed once." —Amazon Customer

Promising review: "This is a really amazing handbag. I've seen many of my favorite fashionistas carry it so I ordered it. Good enough as small size handbag to fit a full sized wallet, sunglasses case, phone, and keys easily with room to spare for lipstick and such. Overall it looks pretty durable and exquisite. Really worth with this price, would definitely recommend." —Jiacheng Yang

Promising review: "Love, love, love this purse!! It’s perfect. I was looking for a practical everyday cross-body purse. I was tired of my old one as it was huge and would always slide off my shoulders. So happy I found this one! It’s big enough to hold everyday essentials. It was a smaller middle pocket in it that’s perfect for putting your phone in. The quality is great, too! It feels like it cost more than what it did. I would definitely recommend this to anyone!" —Amazon Customer

Promising review: "Love it! The style details really come together for a completely boho/vintage look - the wooden handles (love them - so unique), vintage leather, metal hardware, unstructured shape, and the canvas strap. Size is perfect for everyday. I bought the olive and with the brown details, it just completely works for fall. The leather is a little thick and stiff - not super soft - but that actually adds to the vintage look." —baglady811

Promising review: "My husband got this purse for me for Christmas. I really love the over the shoulder style, and it has a buckle on the strap so you can adjust the length. It wears very comfortably. The front latch is for decoration only and it hides a magnet closure. This purse fits the necessities (phone, keys, wallet), and not much else, but I like that. It's perfect for going out." —Ben & Heather Lunders
