  • Get this bag!
Size: One Size Color: Shaded Olive
This is such a great quality product. The size of the bag is perfect! it fits my 13 inch computer, notebook, water bottle, AirPods Max, and all the essentials you would typically throw in a bag. The suede is so high quality and the adjustable strap is a nice touch. The strap is thick enough to stay on the shoulder and allow you to carry the weight of several items. You could use this as a work bag, or every day. the olive color is so nice and will be a staple of mine for the fall. the bag arrived in factory packaging and was stuffed to ensure no damage when shipped. ... show more

  • Great bag
Size: One Size Color: Luxury Forest
i’m giving this bag four stars because even though it is absolutely fantastic, I had an issue with Amazon where I had to return the original one, which was in perfect condition, and purchase another one which came with creases in the leather. This is mostly, if not completely, Amazon‘s fault for not allowing post purchase price adjustments. About a week after buying it, I saw the same bag on sale for $40 less. Because of their silly rules, I had to return my original one and re-purchase it. The second one came with a few creases in the leather which I will have to deal with because I’m not returning and buying a third one. But I removed a star because this could happen to others - depending on how the bag is stored in their warehouse, it may have creases because while it is excellent quality, the material is pretty thin and can crease easily. ... show more

  • What Bucket Bag Dreams are Made Of
Size: One Size Color: Chocolate Raisin Leather
This handbag is perfect for everyday use! I love the thick, sturdy strap with a buckle to customize its length. The material is beautiful and feels luxe, and I appreciate the size to be able to carry everything I need with me. My favorite part is the magnetic closure and the rich color. It goes with everything and will be something I will use for years to come! ... show more

Beautiful bag. The color is very rich, the leather is soft, and the bag holds a lot. I use it almost every day and it has still held up and looks brands new.
