Genuine Leather Mini Backpack Handbag/Purse With Sling & Side Cell Phone Pocket ~ Black In Color

Comment: Having bought another similar bag for about the same price on Amazon, I was a little leery of this one at first. I agree with some other reviewers that the bag does possess a rather pungent odor right out of the box; but that dissipated within a couple of days for me. That being said, I love this bag! The welts along the edges keep the bag upright and open when I am scrounging for items... and it DOES hold a lot for its size. I have a LG Ally phone, rather chunky and large, and it fits perfectly in the pocket on the side. Inside, there is a smaller pocket I think some reviewers try to use for a phone, but it is definitely too small for that. I use it to hold sunglasses or my iPod Nano; which it is just right for. The only negative I have with it is that where the zipper that combines the straps into a single sling strap meet the leather, I have noticed a little bit of wear-through. It is only a small spot, and easily "nipped-in-the-bud" with a quick dab of hot glue or other adhesive. I don't think it would have grown any bigger anyway. Overall... for the money this is a wonderful bag!

Comment: The bag does look great in the pictures. It is very roomy yet compact. It took over a month for the overwhelming smell to go away. It stunk up closets that I put it in. I kept a positive outlook though since the bag looked so nice. However, within weeks, the handle started to fray. It got so bad that my mother-in-law said, "It looks like it's time for you to get a new bag" a month after I started using it. Bottom line: You get what you pay for.

Comment: I needed a backpack purse to carry my everyday things in, so that I can have my hands free to take care of my 2 1/2 year old (getting him in and out of the car, shopping baskets, etc.). After reading the reviews, I decided to buy this purse. The great reviews were right! This backpack purse is awesome! It's just the right size to carry everyday necessities, and has lots of zippered pockets to keep you organized and save you time. I bought another backpack purse a few weeks ago, and it is like digging through a bottomless pit! I highly recommend this purse. I hope that this backpack purse will be available again...very soon!

Comment: The purse has straps that can be used over both shoulders like a backpack so hands are free while shopping and the purse doesn't fall off the shoulder. The only downside was that the leather had a very strong leather smell. Aired out the purse before I could use. The leather is very soft and nice.

Comment: I purchased this bag for my girlfriend, looked nice and seemed very functional the only problem is that it starts falling apart within weeks of use. The little loop handle which you will use all the time will start to tear loose in a few weeks and the leather will cut and tear so easily. It was worth a try for the price but this bag is garbage and you will throw it away within a month, don't buy it!
