Love this bag! Almost perfect!
I’ve only had this bag for 2 days and I’m already thinking about ordering it in other colors (I got black). After a car accident years ago, carrying my purse on my shoulders has gotten to be too much of a problem so I decided to go for something small with only the essentials but they were all too small. This is the perfect size. I love that it not only has card pockets inside but it also has a pocket for paper bills. There’s also a nice sized zippered pocket inside and another equally good sized zip pocket on the outside. I can fit my lip balm, key fob, phone, a few personal items, along with all of my cards and cash. It’s a great size to easily access everything and take things out and put them back with ease - a common struggle with these types of bags. You could easily carry this inside a tote or larger purse but just pull this out for extended carrying or a night out. The zippers seem to be good quality and they slide easily, making access very convenient. The same with the material of the bag. I love that it came with a wristlet strap and a shoulder strap. I wish the shoulder strap was wider, it’s quite narrow, atrium 1/2”, so I will be looking for a replacement. I prefer at least 1” wide for my neck issues. I also am looking for a shorter strap to carry it under one arm as an option. The quality of the leather seems like it will last a long time so I want options to make this my everyday bag.UPDATE: I bought this bag for a weekend trip to NYC to see the Rockettes in Dec and it's now almost April and I'm still using it! It's held up wonderfully. It still looks new. I throw it in a tote when I leave the house, which carries my extra store cards, lotion, tissues, mints, etc., then just grab the small bag when I go into a store. I bought a short shoulder strap and a 1.5" wide nylon strap. I mostly use the nylon strap and can wear it either crossbody or as a belt bag and it doesn't look ridiculous. I absolutely love it! I am looking for something in a lighter color but slightly larger to hold my sunglasses in the warmer months, but with the same features, and I'm having a hard time finding a replacement. A testament to how much I love this bag.

GREAT QUALITY BAG!
If you're on the fence about purchasing this bag, TAKE MY ADVICE & JUST BUY IT! YOU WILL NOT BE SORRY! This wristlet is VERY WELL MADE to say the least! I was NOT expecting this level of quality especially given the price. I read other reviews about how great the quality was but I had no idea it was going to be THIS NICE! I enjoy high end clothes, bags, jewelry etc, however I also enjoy saving money wherever I can & feeling like I got a great deal. Who doesn't! It's not often that I 'HIGHLY RECOMMEND' a purchase but this one is a game changer! I will be purchasing more of these as gifts for Christmas & birthdays. Befen truly went ABOVE & BEYOND with this bag! The size is perfect, the straps are very well made with attention to great detail. There's plenty of room for cards, phone, lip gloss/lipstick, mascara etc. The layout has been clearly well thought out.From the smell of the leather (I've actually picked it up several times just to smell of it), the lush, soft feel of the leather, the smooth function of the zippers, the stitching of the lined interior, the heavy duty clasps that attaches the wrist strap & the extended strap...everything puts this bag in the same category with the higher end bags, the "big names" in the bag industry! This bag is well worth every dime & MORE! I'm actually shocked that they can sell this bag at this price. I will forever purchase bags from Befen!

High quality, low price: A+
This is a perfect purse for someone wanting a low profile, handsome accessory that's built to last.Materials:The leather used is of very good quality, even grain and thick enough to withstand a lot of use (as determined by zipper pull and strap center cut edges).The hardware is also high quality, the swivel clicks precisely made with solid springs and smooth swiveling. The zippers are all metal - with potential to snag delicate fabrics, but easily remedied by carrying zipper side out.The fabric lining is solid and well thought out. The interfacing used to stiffen the fabric of the card holding area is just right, providing adequate support without feeling bulky or excessively stiff.Design:I give the design a solid A rating. I feel like I want something slightly different from the edge profile, somewhere between the single and the double for width, but as a purse designed to be lightweight and low-profile, this purse has been excellently thought out. The omission of a prominent label earns this purse big points in my eyes, as it is much easier to use it with either side facing out and it pairs much more nicely with sleek, understated pieces. Good style doesn't need to shout about who made it, or should be impressive enough to warrant people asking after the brand. This purse does the trick.Storage/packaging/shipping:This is the only arena in which I could see improvement. The straps were nicely folded and stored inside the purse, but because of its thin profile the strap hardware ended up forming a visible bump through the leather, presumably thanks to the weight of items stored atop it pressing the leather against the metal. This is slightly visible in the second picture, with the purse vertically oriented, the bulge located in the lower right-hand corner. Similarly, the leather of the bottom edge of the purse was bent quite a bit during storage.My hope is the leather will relax during use and these two marks will even out over time, especially when the purse is full.Perhaps in the case of these low-profile purses, it would be better to store the straps outside of the purse itself in the same packaging bag, so as to avoid deforming the leather.These notes aren't worth detracting any stars in my review, as this is a problem faced by any retailer anywhere, and I've often seen far worse being sold for far more.The packaging for shipping was quite adequate. While it would be nice to see environmentally friendly/recycled/recyclable packaging, what was there does enough without using excessive amounts of material or space.
