S-ZONEWomen's Vintage 3-Way Genuine Leather Tote Shoulder Bag Handbag Fashion Handbag Messenger Bag (Brown)(Size: L)

I just received this today so this review will be based on initial impressions. This bag is really beautiful. I'd read the positive reviews before buying it but had to see it in person to believe it was this nice for only £38. As anyone knows, a bag of this size in genuine calfskin for that price is unheard of. Whoever says this isn't genuine leather though doesn't know what they're talking about, because it smells very strongly of calfskin and looks and feels like real leather--believe me I know my skins! The wine red colour is stunning, and subtle enough to match with any outfit for daily use. It's a bag big enough for all of my sh*t and believe me, I have a lot of that. However it's not too big as to be unwieldy or hard to carry. I plan to carry my laptop, planner, documents, and personal items in it for work and travel. The two shorter straps are even adjustable for the perfect shoulder bag, but I also love the long strap for cross body wear. And the compartments! So many useful little compartments on this thing! An open slip pocket in the front, a more secure zip pocket in the back, a middle zip compartment, a phone pocket, a card pocket, another little inner slip pocket and two hidden interior compartments on either side. I can't wait to make this my go-to bag for everyday use. Five stars!

After reading the reviews for this bag I decided to order it and I’m so glad I did. It’s absolutely beautiful! The quality of the leather is stunning. I got the lighter brown one and it’s a gorgeous tan colour. It’s really soft but strong. The size is great and will be perfect for my new job. Inside it has 3 large compartments, one with a zip in the middle, and it has a smaller zip compartment. It also has a zip at the top of the bag, so everything is really safe.I’m honestly so impressed with the quality for the price of this bag. It really looks like a much more expensive bag in my opinion.

This is a beautiful bag - BUT- it came with a pungent lingering fishy smell which I hope will eventually disappear. I have hung it in a room downstairs unzipped hoping the air will get to it.

I am so delighted with this bag. It is the perfect day-to day bag with enough room for my laptop, charger, notebook, diary and other essentials. It's just a great size - big and roomy enough but not bulky or feels like it gets in the way. The shoulder straps are an ideal length and don't make it difficult to wear even on thicker coats or jumpers. The leather is such a deep rich colour and is soft yet sturdy. My only small criticism is that the main zip doesn't zip all the way across the bag and so there leaves a small 1/2cm gap - which might be a problem for my laptop and other electrics if it starts to rain. It's still such a beautiful bag and the is worth every penny!

Lovely bagGreat colour understatedGood quality leather

Really disappointed. This bag is really beautiful, size, look and colour. So why have I given it one star? It does not smell of leather, but it does smell fishy inside. I have a genuine concern that the smell will not fade away with use, so I have had to return it.

Initially bought this for work as it’s a good size to take A4 docs or pads, but I was a bit dubious about the claim that it was real leather due to the price. Well, I can happily confirm that it is real leather, and it’s a very well made, quality item and looks really smart and professional (in my opinion)! The outer leather is sturdy and shiny and after a few months of use, becomes softer. The inner skin isn’t lined with nylon fabric, so you can see the natural suede of the outer leather. The base is really sturdy and the sides don’t collapse into themselves whilst resting on the floor. Plenty of large pockets (the inner pockets are lined with quality cotton) with an inner zip up pocket). Comes with a long, removable shoulder strap but I find the fitted straps to be perfectly adequate as the opening makes it easy to dip and out of it for my purse or phone without having to take the bag off my shoulder. The only slight negative is that it smelled a bit ‘fishy’ when new, but that disappeared after a bit, I expect it’s something to do with the tannin process. Love this bag!

Good quality and size. Fits my work lap top and other bitd. Colour is great. Straps a bit on the thin side but managable
