Adorable rustic purse with authentic leather appearance.
Carved Dark Brown Purse---<br /><br />I like cross body purses that give me freedom of movement with my purse still feeling secure. I walk an active dog twice a day, and my current purse is nylon and utilitarian-looking. This purse looked like a great upgrade to my everyday gear.<br /><br />The Good:<br />•  The purse is great looking. You can tell at first glance that the construction is quality and the leather is genuine.<br />• The purse carries just enough for my needs.<br />• The strap is long enough to be worn cross-body with my larges winter coat, and the strap is adjustable.<br /><br />The Bad:<br />•  Nothing<br /><br />The “Could Be Better:”<br />•  Two days after using the purse, I noticed the surface of the leather at the “bend” where the hardware attaches to the strap beginning to show signs of surface wear. I know that leather will show age in this way. But a different type of leather at wear-points in the strap might not wear so quickly.<br /><br />GRADES<br />Price:  A __This seems right for a carve-leather purse.<br />Ease of use:  A __Easy to wear cross-body, even with a large coat.  It is the right size for what I like to carry.<br />Performance: B __The strap wear is expected, but seems to be occurring quickly.<br /><br />I like the look of this purse.  It will not be my every day dog-walking purse, but it will be my weekend purse.
