Black and White Chic Mod Circle Bowler Satchel Hobo Handbag

 (22 customer reviews)

I ordered this bag and the "Black and White Chic Cheetah Print Velvet Texture Bowler Satchel Hobo Handbag". I wanted to keep the this one for myself and give the cheetah print one to my best friend as a gift. I figured she could use it to carry a few notebooks for school but when I received the bag, I realized this was not possible. The handbag is quite small. Although I checked the measurements before ordering, I thought it would have room to zip a notebook inside but it was unable to close. The bag is big enough to carry a wallet and maybe a water bottle but not much more. The exterior of the bag is quite nice but the interior of the bag looks cheap. It's a brown paper-like fabric with some writing on it. I would've kept it for myself anyway (just to avoid the return process) but I really didn't need two small handbags. The return process was quite easy though and my money was refunded in good timing with no issues.

Going by the photos of this bag, it looked graphic and modern in design, and I liked the patent leather trim. I was shocked when I opened the bag and saw that the black circles on the bag were actually fuzzy velor! Yuk! It looked cheap and the whole purse look was ruined by that. You can NOT see this from the online photos, so buyers be-ware! It's deceiving.

I love this purse. The white part is shiny pleather, and the black circles are like velvet. It zips at the top before it opens like a pac-man mouth ">". There's not a ton of room at the top- which is obvious from the pictures- but I'm not planning on packing with it either- so it's fine for the normal wallet, keys, phone, glasses. It's as stylish as it looks, no surprises.
