I like this in person even more than the pictures. Love the timeless, casual, global vibe. I Love that the black in the fabric paired with the brown leather give it versatility. The subtle pattern will work with other prints in my outfits. The strap length is perfect for the shoulder bag I prefer. The size is great for me. Generous but not into the tote bag category. Looks well made. I am excited to use it all summer. 2 small issues... for me, more and larger internal pockets would give it more practicality. I might work with a seamstress to achieve that. The leather on one of the straps is missing the dye in places. Im just going to ignore it rather than take a chance on anything I apply rubbing off on my clothing. Still a 5 star offering for me!

I love everything about this bag, the colour, the design, and the quality of the leather. I have had it a year and the leather has softened and even improved with use! Ricardo clearly has an eye for perfection and he is a very talented craftsman. We will be keeping an eye of his products for our New Zealand store.
I found myself drawn to the meticulous detail in the zippered bags and coin purses by this artist. I chose to purchase several for gifts for some special people, including this one with a young Peruvian tending her animals. I also appreciate that this coin purse came with free gift wrap that includes a tiny worry doll adorning the ribbon bow. I now have a practical attractive gift that I know will be appreciated.
