Luxe leather,

This bag is gorgeous - the leather is amazing. It's soft, soo soft, sturdy, rich, and the workmanship is impeccable. The stitching is perfect, the hardware is strong and shiny, and the bag is roomy.
The only things I don't like - the interior is made of a microsuede-like fiber that feels weird. It catches on my finger tips and it's cream colored, destined for dirt. It makes finding things a breeze but I imagine it will get filthy. And, it feels like it could rip easily - but this may not be the case. I've had linings in other bags that feel thin but are very sturdy. The thing I liked least about this bag is the nameplate - way too much bling for an otherwise understated bag. You don't really notice it in these pics, but there is a GUSTTO nameplate in shiny gold with some sort of emblem - you can see it a bit in the pic of the bottom of the bag.
If you're into shiny bling you may just like this but I just don't like the gold - it's too big and too shiny for me...Read more
Beautiful Bag, Does Not Hold Up.,

When I purchased this bag, I thought it would be perfect for my travel overseas. I had just arrived in the airport in Greece, when first, My strap pulled completely off by the leather stitchings. OK, I still had the handles. Then not 2 seconds later the Zipper came completely off the end and I had no way to close the bag, as it is made to gap open when unzipped. I am in an airport with a bag that will not close. First time ever that I was disappointed with an Amazon purchase. I had to buy a souvenir bag to carry the rest of my trip. Bad deal.
