Good looking bag, but...heavy & stiff. By S_SSF from SF, CA on 11/09/2009 Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend Comments: I love the look of this bag, but I have to agree with a previous reviewer (or reviewers) that the bag is very heavy and rather stiff.
I haven't actually used it yet, because it arrived with an overwhelming smell that was probably partly suede treatment chemicals and partly ?? who knows what. It is still de-smelling in my garage (even the cat doesn't want to go down there; it is so potent).
Presumably the smell will dissipate and I will be able to take it out in public soon, but based on its weight I don't anticipate this will be my primary bag--more like a stylish, classy looking bag for job interviews, conferences, and the like.
wanted to keep it but.....

It is fantastic but empty was too heavy. Reading the other reviews decided since I'm amazon woman, I could handle it...it is a gorgeous bag. However, as an everyday bag it is just not practical from a weight standpoint. As a weekend bag though, it would be an excellent solution.
By weaver lady from kennewick, washingtgon on 10/14/2009 Pros: Attractive, Easy Access, Enough Compartments, Good Organization, Great Color, High Quality Cons: Like a suitcase to carry, Too heavy for me, Uncomfortable Describe Yourself: Classic Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: I loved the bag but the minute I picked it up I knew loaded with items, it was going to be too heavy for me to use for the purpose I needed. I wanted a well made bag but one that was larger than most purses I could use on a daily basis.
Loaded it weighed like a small suitcase, but a beautiful suitcase I may say.
It just wasn't what I needed.

It is all I hoped for. It is beautiful and have a lot of organizing areas. Terrific quality for the money. Color is really nice.
Nice bag, but not for me. By Lynn from Seattle on 06/02/2009 Pros: Easy Access, Enough Compartments, Good Organization, Good Strap Length, Great Color, Sturdy Best Uses: Everyday, Going Out, Running Errands Describe Yourself: Comfort-Oriented, Practical Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: I liked this bag. The color was nice and it seemed very sturdy and stylish. I returned it, however, because the buckles on the side were a bit more prominent than I thought they would be, giving it an overall effect that did not seem to be for me but would probably be great for someone else.

By urban gardener from Astoria, NY on 03/29/2009 Pros: Attractive, Easy Access, Enough Compartments, Good Organization, Good Strap Length, Great Color, High Quality Cons: Kind of heavy loaded Describe Yourself: Practical Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: good looking and very well made
By Liz from Honolulu on 03/22/2009 Pros: Attractive, Easy Access, Enough Compartments, Good Organization, Good Strap Length, Great Color, High Quality Cons: Heavy, Not Enough Room Best Uses: Everyday, Office Describe Yourself: Career, Classic, Modern, Practical Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: This is really good leather, saddle-maker quality, and the bag is exquisitely compartmentalised and zippered for every possible need. I'd hoped (really hoped) to finally be able to swap out my collegiate-esqe Timbuktu messenger with this bag. And while this tote carried all that I carry on a daily basis (a lot!)...there just wasn't enough room for those things that I seem to add at the end of the day for overnight reviewing. Truly a beautiful bag, one that just didn't work this time for me.
laptop tricky to get in and out. By a mom & artist from Bedford, New York on 02/02/2009 Pros: Attractive, Enough Compartments, Good Strap Length, Great Color, High Quality Describe Yourself: Practical, Stylish Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: The main zipper interferes with the laptop section. Goes in after a bit of struggle. (14"Lx9.5"W macbook)
