Handcrafted using techniques passed down from the colonial era, this all-business handbag showcases the work of Peruvian artisan Berardo Santos. He works in leather, delicately tooling it by hand to feature embossed floral designs at the front and back. The bag drapes over the shoulder on an adjustable, concealable leather strap or can be held with a handle. It opens with a belt buckle to reveal an interior with faux leather on the sides.

This briefcase is the most stunning, well-made business accessory Ive ever owned. The tooled-leather exterior gives it an eye-catching texture that invites compliments from colleagues. Everyone who sees it wants one. This will quickly become your signature case and an item youll be proud to own for life.

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.

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.

Great craftsmanship, I am pleasantly impressed with how nice this purse is. I just need to shorten the strap.
