Everything I could have ever wanted and more!
UPDATE (JUL 16, 2022): Just popping in to announce that after six years... it's still going strong and beautiful as ever! A nice patina has developed and it is incredibly soft, due to this being my go-to bag for so long. I recently purchased a larger version of this same bag from Komal and you can see how well my tried and trusted bad has held up compared to my new purchase. I cannot stress how great these bags are - just buy it!ORIGINAL REVIEW (FEB 14, 2016): I've had this purse for approximately a month and I wanted to get a good feel of it before I wrote up a review. First and foremost, I need to express how much I adore this bag. It is 100% pure leather (and smells like it, which, to me, is lovely), it is durable, functional, and has the cutest shape, cut, and color - seriously, the color of the leather is deep and rich and is absolutely stunning. I am very particular about the cross body purses I wear because I have carried a leather Fossil cross body purse religiously since about 2012. This Fossil purse went with me everywhere (all over Europe, to various states, concerts, sporting events, weddings) and when I finally decided it was time to retire it for a while, I took to Amazon to find the perfect replacement and found this purse. It is everything I could have wanted it to be and more.It has plenty of room for me to carry my phone (which I tuck in the front pocket inside the main body of the purse because the lining is soft and won't scratch or damage the glass), keys, chapstick/lipstick, pens, a large wallet (Hoxis Generous Faux Texture Leather Purse Organizer Double Zip Around Long Wallet with Wristlet(brown) (which fits perfectly in the bottom), and numerous other items -- and I haven't even had to use the front pocket with the snap! The leather strap is adjustable, which I will admit I was slightly worried about considering the only thing preventing this bag from falling off my shoulders was a small buckle, but it is surprisingly very, very secure and that worry quickly diminished after a few uses. The only (temporary) downside to the adjustable strap is that the bits of leather left out at the end have curled slightly, but ultimately, as the leather gets more worn in, it will naturally tame itself.As some reviews have stated, and as the seller states in a detailed note that arrives with the purse, the leather is quite stiff when you first receive it. This faded for me within a few weeks, but could vary if you don't carry it every day as I did. There is a distinct smell, but contrary to what other reviews have stated, it was not unpleasant, nor was it overpowering. To me, it had a very distinct new leather smell and I'm actually a little bummed that it faded... To address concerns left in other reviews regarding the security of this bag staying closed and the inconvenience of having to buckle it closed every time: there is a simple (and secure) fix. The top flap will tuck into the bottom part of the buckle and will keep the bag closed, without having to actually buckle the purse. And even then, if this isn't your thing, the purse is deep enough that the only way you are going to drop things out of this bag is if you are in high traffic areas where you will be bumped or practically swinging it around your head. But I digress...I am head over heels in love with this purse. It is stylish, functional and secure. I have three international trips coming up within the next 4 months and I am excited to take this purse along on my adventures. A huge and sincere thank you to Komal for crafting such a beautiful piece that I will enjoy for years to come!

Absolutely wonderful!
This bag was priced so incredibly low, I thought I'd get it to use for fishing, since I have a history of using the higher end purses and hand bags my mother has given me as an accessory tackle/tool/box in addition to the traditional uses of a purse. I felt a little guilty because they were gifts and probably kind of expensive. But I actually liked the way I could organize and carry my stuff in a bag with a good length strap and get to where I wanted without having to carry a regular tackle box. So this caught my eye and I figured it was so inexpensive if it didn't hold up or wasn't really leather or was no big loss. But I am so happy and amazed at how far from my low expectations I was, I feel like I robbed this company! It is such high quality and beautiful leather, and has so many compartments and looks so good with so many different styles, well I guess I should have gotten two! Because it is actually a really great bag for someone who hikes or needs a little more than a compact and phone type little purse. But it's also very nice and complements Jeans and hoodies as well as a nice dress. It reminds me of some of the older Coach bags, only I think it's nicer and more unique than any of the common brand name bags like that, since it's not being mass produced in a huge factory. There's so many other nice things on the company's website, too. And I got a hand signed letter with care instructions and how to contact them for anything at all you're not completely satisfied about because they're so customer oriented and friendly! I couldn't believe that, since so many smaller sellers/businesses seem to have a somewhat arrogant sounding list of all the customer's requirements needed before they would even address an issue with their products and the possibility of a return or refund, it's kind of a turn off. So, bottom line, it's a great quality beautiful piece of craftsmanship for a very reasonable price, with no real worries about being catered to or compensated if you don't love it. But you probably will. I don't think I have written anything much for most stuff I have purchased in a long time, or maybe it's the economy that has limited my purchases of items worthy of a review because I haven't gotten any non essentials for awhile. But this was so economically friendly and I thought it deserved some positive feedback.
