ONE YEAR LATER...Even better than I hoped!
[Oct. 2019] I am enjoying this unique and very useful handbag. I use it all the time and everywhere. It gets softer with use yet shows no signs of wear. Amazingly, the gray leather repels even coffee. If you are looking for a rugged and dependable bag with style, buy this!<br />[Sep. 2018] I like one bag for work, play, and everything in between. I have been searching for a unique handmade bag that is durable, lightweight, roomy without bulk, and has a casual style  that 'dresses up'.  I couldn't help but smile when I opened the Amazon box and saw a leather patch and nice card attached to my hand-wrapped package. But the best was to come. This leather is not the suede Americans are accustomed to. It has the texture of saddle leather and just enough sheen to give the gray a warm blue tone. It is lovely and complements many colors. I will carry this bag for a long, long time. Here's why:<br />Lightweight-- 100% leather without the poundage of most totes<br />Outside zipper pocket-- easy to access my phone while the bag is shouldered<br />Inside pocket-- an added bonus for an unlined bag<br />Double magnetic snaps-- tightly and neatly seals the full length of the opening<br />Wide shoulder straps-- comfortable and stay-in-place while I am on the go.<br />Structure-- This bag stands up while loaded with my Mac Air, wallet, and zipper pouch.<br />...I'm packed and ready to go!
