DaseinWomen's Designer Satchel Handbag Two Toned Padlock Purse Top Handle Shoulder Bag w/Chain Strap

I am really happy with the quality and aesthetic of this bad!

Very nice but too big for me to use

I’m 29 and work in finance. I wanted a feminine briefcase suitable for the office without having to spend a fortune. The ones at Office Max were almost $100 (which is more than I can justify spending on a bag...I am not into designer stuff), so I came to Amazon.It shipped very quickly and was packaged nicely. However, this is much smaller than I expected. It does work for my needs, but I wish there was a bit more “wiggle room” in the two outer pockets. The good news, and the primary reason for which I bought this, is that it holds my standard-sized file folders if I need to bring some work home with me. It also fits my large At-a-Glance brand calendar. Both the file folders and calendar fit landscape-oriented in the outer pockets, as opposed to having to turn them vertically and shove them in that way. The pockets do NOT snap with these larger items in them though, so I’ll just need to be careful not to spill the bag. The inside zipped pocket is nice and has a couple smaller pockets within. It’s roomy inside. I could see where some ladies might actually just use this as a purse/briefcase hybrid.A downside is that if you needed to hold several really thick folders, this isn’t the bag for you. It would be too bulky and the folders would be smashed. It holds a couple thin folders. It’ll do for me for the time being, but I’m going to need to find a bigger briefcase at some point for that very reason.The color was a bit darker than expected but still beautiful. Online it looks sky blue, which is what I wanted, but it’s actually more of a deep aqua. But again, I don’t really care - it’s beautiful all the same. I wanted the pink one but didn’t think it would look too professional in my industry (think of the movie “Legally Blonde”!) so opted for the still-feminine but more-professional blue. The leather is thick and the item is heavy duty.I knocked a star off because of the smaller size than expected. Otherwise it pretty much met my expectations.UPDATE 5/20/2018:Okay, so after using this a couple months, it’s not a practical briefcase for anyone actually needing to bring a lot with them to and from the office. See my two updated photos. With everything I need to carry, the thing weighs almost 14 lbs, normally not a big deal, but combined with wearing my heels, that does not make for a happy me. It’s disportionately heavy because the middle section is too small for larger items, so everything needs to be placed in outer pockets. The outer pockets don’t close as mentioned in my initial review, and it has spilled in my car several times if I have to brake quickly or if I hit a rough patch of road. It’s a high quality product for sure, but it’s too small for an actual business use in my opinion. I have gotten compliments on it though, because it is pretty. Just not functional for what I need.

I decided to order this bag because my current one is falling apart. I couldn't be happier with this bag! I took off one start because some of the stitching inside the wallet and on the wallet wrist strap was really sloppy. However I didnt need the wallet and gave it away. This bag fits everything I need, my planner, pens, wallet, pill box, my keys, and a pouch for personal care items. In the small zippered pouch I'm storing hair ties, a small pocket knife and some goodluck charms. In the non zippered pouches I've stored my chapstick, eye drops, and self defense spray. It is a extremely stiff purse like other reviews said, but that's exactly what I was looking for so I'm very happy with this bag! Definitely recommend!!

This is a really nice purse. A bit bigger than expected and not quite as vibrant but there is plenty of room at the opening. I effortlessly opened the purse a good six inches. I can stack my fists on top of each other and stick them in. I like the wrist strap for the wallet too in case you don't want to carry the whole purse. The wallet also has a zippered compartment for change. I noticed most wallets don't have that anymore. The chain (shoulder strap) isn't removable but since it barely hangs past the bottom of the purse doesn't look bad if you decide to carry it by the straps. You won't have a long chain flopping around. If you wear it on your shoulder it hangs at midsection and tucks under your arm. Overall, it's a very attractive purse. Looks more expensive than it is. Very well made. A little stiff but I like that it holds form and doesn't flop over. This purse is big enough for an overnight bag for most people. Will try to add pics of the opening later. I didn't unsnap the back either. I read some reviews stating the opening was too small so maybe they redesigned it. It opens as wide as the bottom now without any effort.
