I opened my package and that wonderful leather scent greeted me. I then removed the tissue paper and felt the embossed leather handbag. The leather is not super soft but it isnt stiff either. It is slightly malleable and has a nice supportive feel.The handbag is just the right size for me: Its not too big and not too small. Its got all the right compartments for my phone, small note pad, and a zippered pocket for my wallet. Theres also a long shoulder bag strap, which I probably wont use much...but nevertheless is nice to have.Would love to have one in a burgundy shade! A WINNER!!!

As other reviews have mentioned this is a very well designed bag that is SO nicely priced! Along with being aesthetically pleasing it highlights the forethought of intentional functionality intertwined with beauty. The leather is lovely & the pattern is incredibly special while still being subtle enough for everyday use.The small details in particular - such as the feet on the bottom of the bag & the swiveling mechanisms used in attaching the detachable shoulder strap - are impeccable. The handles are also obviously quite sturdily made, which is a hallmark of many high quality handbags. It also features three useful organizational pockets & is lightweight enough to carry comfortably. My specific bag has the tiniest bit of ever so slightly irregularly cut leather around the outer zipper which means I LOVE this piece even more - as this makes it both one of a kind and fabulously unique proof that it was handmade!Thank you so very much to Fabiola Gonzalez and Novica for this purse!
