Vintage Brown Leather Satchel Purse for Women - Genuine Leather Crossbody Saddlebag Handbag - Distressed Womens Brown Leather Purse Crossbody Bags, 9-inch

I am so happy I took a chance and ordered this purse! I have been looking for a small crossbody with a "bohemian" attitude and this purse is perfect! It's adorable, round, pudgy, and holds a lot for such a small size purse. The incredible thing is that it is so light in weight even packed with so much stuff. This purse is truly real leather and has a slight leather smell, but not overwhelming and the smell is fading away. I love the way it closes with a slide in lock which gives it a secure feel. It is easy to open too. I really like the back slip pocket which is the size of the entire purse. My iphone 14 plus fits perfectly in the back slip pocket. The leather is stif but I do believe it will soften in time. The only con about this purse is the fabric lining. The fabric lining is a bit stif and thin, but that's a minor con. Overall it's a excellent price for such a nice purse!

This little purse is so cute! Real leather, perfect for Fall and when u don’t want to carry a large purse. It has two zipper pockets, and 3 other pockets,(2 on the inside & one on the back), where u can easily store $ or a cell phone. Additionally, there’s a larger area inside the purse in which u could put a small brush or wallet. I did read some of the reviews prior to purchasing and agree it does have odor to it, but after letting it hang overnight, the odor has subsided somewhat. The leather is a little stiff as well, but that’s ok as it will hold it’s shape. The clasp secures the purse from opening very well. Overall, a great value for real leather and the craftsmanship well done.

I love this purse it is my favorite with all the pockets. Zippers are sturdy, leather smells real and love the satisfaction of the clasp. Only issue i have found is the threading is coming out i am constantly burning it with a lighter to hope it will stay. I will be so sad when this purse goes

This purse was purchased as an accessory for a Renaissance Faire costume. Pros: * Functional clasp keeps items protected. Not stiff or difficult to use. * Actual leather. Although initially stiff, I imagine that it will wear like leather - durable, thick, and pliable. * Pockets galore! Many small, flat inner pockets in fabric lining allow for discretely containing small items. Two pockets have zippers; two are just thin pockets for holding tissues, pads, pens, etc. * Spacious enough to hold the essentials - money wallet, small hand lotion, pack of mints/gum, phone. *. Large enough to hold a bottle of water, in addition to the other 'essentials' * Sweet note from the manufacturer about how to care for leather. * Cute buckle design with strap that disguises the clasp. Cons: * Initial stiffness and faint smell of leather (although I don't find that to be a problem, personally). * Smaller front compartment is too small to conceal my cell phone. There is a back slip pocket but the phone needs to go in vertically and sticks out the top slightly. * I wish the strap was slightly longer. It is adjustable, but I wish it had another inch or two. It is adorable. My teenage daughter has designs to permanently "borrow" it after I'm done using it. Stylish enough to use as a daily, casual purse. Photos attached to show the spacious design for a small/modest purse. Bottled water is sitting atop of other items already in the purse. Closed, front photo shows there it latched with the water bottle inside.

Pros: cute, roomy for being a small purse, the strap is long enough to be a crossbody. Although, it might be a short crossbody if you’re taller than 5’9” -I’m 5’6”- or tall-waisted. The strap is also reinforced with a canvas type material. There’s an easily accessible back pocket big enough for an iPhone 16 pro to lay sideways, although it’s tight. The front pocket expands an inch; it’s a nice little bonus. It has a very 70’s boho vibe. I do wish the strap had one more hole for the buckle, not an issue though. If I could stop here, I’d leave five stars. Con: Just one. For whatever reason, the creator uses vegetable oil in the their process. This shouldn’t be an issue, but like other reviewers, I noticed a distinct smell on the leather. Some people have said it’s because the purse isn’t real leather; it is real leather. Others have claimed this smell is just how leather smells. It’s not that either. It’s the vegetable oil. I’m assuming it’s gone rancid or it goes rancid in the packaging and shipping. If the smell bothers you, but you want to keep the purse and make it work (because, who wouldn’t? It’s super cute!) I’ve worked with leather for years so my suggestion for others is to stuff the purse and front pocket with small cotton towels or something similar. You’ll want to do this anyway because the purse is flat from shipping. Use another cotton cloth to wipe the outside of the purse down, pay attention to areas around the metal fastenings. The oil kind of gathers around the edges of the metal. You don’t see it, but you can feel the stickiness. Hang the purse somewhere warm. This will help relax the leather and get the kinks out of the strap as well. I’m hanging mine on my back porch for a couple of days. Once you bring it in, you should be able to use a good conditioning oil made for leather; follow the instructions for use! Now the purse should be good to go!

Purse is cute, but it’s definitely not leather!

Very cute purse. Fits a small wallet keys, cell phone. I would of liked the strap to be a little longer in the event you want to use it as a crossbody.

The size is small which I love, made very well and I simply love it
