B. Makowsky Charlie BM27410 Tote

 (2 customer reviews)

I have to say that I have been a coach girl for years and years. But I am a devoted coach leather girl. Lately I'm just not keen on the coach styles and the prices. I found this bag in a dept store and went onto Amazon and the price couldn't be beat. I am ROUGH on my purses and it's holding up like a champ. Lots of space to put things and great little pockets throughout. My only complaint is that when the bag is not stuffed full, it slouches over. So you just have this pile of black leather. But that's certainly not a deal breaker for me.

This is a beautiful tote, as gorgeous as I'd hoped from the pic. The red is a little darker than shown, however, more like cranberry. I have one other purse from this brand that I love, so I knew I'd love this bag. Leather is soft and supple, buckles are nice detailing, and of course it's made well. For being a tote it's fairly lightweight as well. The only thing that bugs me a bit is that the purse won't stand up like shown when not full - it collapses in a heap. As mentioned, the leather is soft and the tote is light, so it's a trade-off.
