The SAK Madera Drawstring Bucket Bag

I've had this bag for a couple of months now and I have used it every day. I like the design; it has a cool bucket shape with a drawstring and zipper detailing along the outside. It has two long, narrow zipper pockets at the front and 3 small pockets in the lining. It is a decent med/large bag and I can fit a wallet, phone, mp3 player, water bottle and other various junk inside with room to spare. It has a pair of top-handles and a longer shoulder strap.

I already have this bag in lagoon & in black. I got the deep plum- I could not resist! The shade of the plum is a bit lighter than the shade of the online image. This is my favorite bag from The Sak. The leather is soft. The bag itself is lightweight. The outer zippers are extremely convenient. The design is stylish yet practical. Drop handles are useful & the long attached strap can be hidden if you do not need it. The strap is not detachable at all. Size is perfect! Amazon offers a great price for this bag!

I'm not a very picky person when it comes to hand bag styles but it looked so different from the picture online. It had no shape and it just hung on my shoulder like a long sack. I tried to work with it and stuffed the bag but it still had no shape. The bottom just drooped down and the non functional zippers around the bottom of the bag snagged on my clothes. I'm sad to say this bag just doesn't work and its going back
