Helen Welsh Quilted Double-Pocket Tote - Italian Athene Leather

This purse is very attractive, and high quality! I am 34 years old, I would say that this purse is geared more toward the 50+ age bracket. If it were a little bit smaller, a bit slouchier and less boxy; I would have kept it since I got it for a truly GREAT price! But big purses are in style, so I had a hard time returning it! I have another Helen Welsh purse at home that is starting to get worn out, but this one was a bit too big and a bit heavier than I wanted. Too bad:( All Helen Welsh purses have a GREAT smell to them...I don't know why:) I am sure that even though this purse didn't exactly work for me, it will still make a GREAT purse for someone else.

I ordered the bag because of the look and I needed a larger purse to carry my things and my toddler's things. It is lovely and fashionable; however, it is larger than I anticipated and there aren't enough compartments/pockets to keep things separate. I'm keeping it, but it is definitely not for someone unless she has a lot of things to put in it, (e.g., bottles, handpuppets, etc.).

This purse is just perfect -- neutral color and lots of room -- I've received lots of compliments on it!!

I decided to replace my "going-to-lectures" canvas tote with the HW and I love it! Now I can divide my notebooks and papers from other junk that I carry around like wallet, cell phone, keys, miscellaneous, etc. It would be nice if there were more compartments inside or out, but really, that's a small complaint. It smell nice and the color is even to my eye - in contrast to what previous reviewers have complained about.

It has the prettiest lining inside the purse. It even smells great:)
