I have lost count of how many Fabiola Gonzalez bags I have purchased! Her work is so beautiful and I have received so much appreciation from total strangers when I am using one of her purses. I have her purses in turquoise leather and multiple in black leather with floral designs. They hold everything I need (wallet, glasses, keys, planner, hairbrush, N95 masks, etc.) and much more. I hope she keeps coming up with new designs.Ms. Gonzalez: Please use a lighter lining color so it is easier to find my items fast. Thank you for your attention to beauty, quality and fine detail.

I love the look of this bag, BUT the very first time that I wore it, the clasp to the shoulder strap broke in two, and the bag dropped off of my shoulder. I think the workmanship on the bag is far superior to whatever the material is which the clasps are made of, and I was hoping to let people Ms. Quispe know that she may want to reconsider her source for those clasps. I will now mount a search for a matching clasp, so that I can continue to use the bag.

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!
