"A favorite purse - Brings many compliments"
So many people tell me they like my purse. I always tell them it is Fair Trade from Novica. Mine was the only one at the time, but I have since seen similar ones by the same artist recently. The leather tooling is incredible.

"Exquisite Workmanship!"
This bag is absolutely beautiful. I ordered two more from the same craftsman. I am also on a waiting list for a fourth one, just like this. Great Christmas gifts. I bet he is having a hard time keeping up with the demand.

"Very poor design. Strap which is NOT adjustable and it is way too long..."
I was really, really hoping to like this messenger bag. But the leather is extremely (and I mean extremely) stiff. Definitely not soft leather. But the major problem is that the strap is so unnecessarily long that the bag is essentially unusable. The strap is 60 inches long. That is a five foot shoulder strap! And it is NOT adjustable. Seriously? The bag is only a few inches off the ground when it is on my shoulder and it is very cumbersome. Unless you are seven feet tall, I would NOT buy this. The only way I can use this is if I take it to a shoemaker and pay and have the strap shortened. But I dont know if I will do that since the leather is so stiff. I am extremely, extremely disappointed. This was a total waste of money. I wish I had not bought this. Novica should talk to the artist and have him redesign the strap. The current strap design is a total FAIL. I recommend that you buy something else.

"A Handbag With Ancient Symbols, a Must!"
When I saw this handbag with the pre-Hispanic symbols, I knew that I wanted one. Then when I looked at the close views of the workmanship, I was sold.When I received the handbag, I knew that I had made a great choice. The leather tooling is outstanding and the bag is very well made.The shoulder strap is very long so I will probably have it shortened by a leather craftsman from my area. I havent decided yet.
