  • Best Purse/Tote ever! It's Totes adorbs!
Color: Beige
Gorgeous, gorgeous tote. As always, Frye quality is fantastic and the style is on point. It's a great size, not too gigantic but big enough to be super useful for daily use as well as travel. I fly often to DC and this fits so much, including my 13" MacBook. I love that there are two compartments so it's more organized and love that it stands up on its own. I have always liked how Frye purses have the clip inside for the keys so they are easy to find and grab. I also like how the middle zippered divider is so sturdy and padded. The inside cloth pouches are pretty small. I would usually put my phone there but it's too small for my phone and my phone isn't very big --just an iPhone 12 mini. I just put my phone in the padded middle divider and that works fine. I do wish the color was a little lighter or there was a color option à little lighter for the Spring /Summer color but it's good enough. It's just so beautiful and I love the style. My new favorite purse for sure and it will last and last like all the Frye products I have. It's expensive but worth it. No regrets. I also wish the straps were a little flatter and I hope they wear well but the handle length is great. I am petite, 5'1" and I don't feel it's too big. I can have it over the shoulder or just on my arm. Highly, highly recommend. The packaging was amazing. Every part wrapped and padded with extreme care and comes with a nice quality bag for storage and traveling. Sometimes I just sit and stare at it. It's so pretty! ... show more

  • JUMP IN, THE WATER'S FINE!
Well..I did it! I ordered this beautiful bag. I am still choking on the price as even though I like a good quality bag..this was over the top for me. It came yesterday and this is not my first Frye bag..but it's going to be the one I use all the time I suspect. It's large and yes, heavy but not enough to put me off. I bought another Frye bag and sent it back due to how heavy it was. NOT this time. Frye bags do not collapse on you either. The one I was using lay in a heap on the floor, no structure. I wanted structure but not to the point of being stiff and rigid. This is nice soft leather.. One person said one of her handles on her bag pulled loose. It would take a tractor to pull the handles off these bags. Very interesting. Yep...no big surprises..just nice organizaton...oh..and I really liked that soft pouch in the center where you can drop your cell phone or anything you do not want scratched, or broken..like a mirror.. OR to keep sticky fingers from reaching. Yep..Love it! Thanks Frye. Great work!! ... show more

  • Absolutely gorgeous!
I have a number of Frye shoes and boots, and the quality is the best and will last a long time. I do periodically wax them. But this is my first Frye bag and I can't say enough about it! I watched it for awhile, until there was a mark down and decided to go for it. It can hold so much, including my iPad, iPhone, wallet, glasses, makeup, and even a water bottle, and more. The compartments are nicely organized. It stays on my shoulder without sliding off. Very pleased! The slate color goes with everything. The only thing it needs are the studs on the bottom of the bag. I may have those put on as I have had that done in the past. I noticed per the other reviews, the lack of the Frye tag, which would add a nice touch. I was at Nordstroms the other day and noticed that all the Frye purses had no tags. In fact, I hardly saw any on all the other high end purse lines. ... show more

  • Real genuine leather has a leather smell, this was chemicals n felt like polyurethane material
Color: Dark Brown
It’s a fake. Not a real Frye. I returned it. The lining is not what Frye uses, the handbags stinks smells very chemical n can u say HEAVY!! Believe other honest reviews. Do not buy. I have posted several positive reviews when it’s a good product that’s worthy!! It looks like polyurethane material to me not, real leather and I’m a farm girl you can’t fool me on REAL Genuine leather or the cows they came from. Buyer Beware! I was so excited to receive this. I even called Frye corporation to verify the real signature handbags versus a fake. I did my homework before returning it. Yes I got a refund. God is good. ... show more

  • Great Tote Bag
Color: Cognac
I bought this bag for a 2 week trip we were taking to hold all my “extras” and a clutch. It was perfect! The leather quality is excellent and the color perfect match for my clutch. So many can look orange but this was a nice cognac color. The strap length was just right to wear on my shoulder. The extra compartments inside were nice to organize small items for easy access. It came with it’s on cloth storage bag and a nice note from the company. Impressive bag and would recommend! Originally I had purchased a Frye Melissa tote which was beautiful but sent it back as it was too small and was really a purse not a tote do I sent it back. So glad I did as this Berliner bag was exactly what I was looking for and a better price! ... show more

  • Best purse I've had in years. So soft and it has POCKETS.
I love my new purse. I love it so much I want to buy more of them in case this one goes off. The leather is so pettable and soft. This feels like the dream of what a good leather purse would feel like. Not paper thin, but sturdy and soft. The color (wine) is deep and perfect, somewhere between wine and cordovan. It's a little more brown than purple, and hits a great sweet spot in that "I can wear it with black, navy or brown" area. One of the best things about this purse is that it isn't just an open vast bucket with two open side pockets and a zipper pocket like 90% of the purses out right now. No my friend, this thing has those AND a center divider with an additional zipper pocket. This central zipper pocket is even padded. It's the perfect spot for my kindle and phone which nestle in, protected and easy to find. Fantastic. The drop is good, an inch more would make me even happier, but this is good. Goodness I love this purse. It's luscious and perfect. ... show more
