This is a gorgeous pocketbook. You will enjoy it.
I absolutely love this pocketbook. It’s roomy enough for everything. I know some people said you could put a laptop in it. I do not see that really happen unless it’s something very small. The stitching on the sides of it prevent it from opening very wide, I love the color of the leather. I think it’s beautiful for the fall and winter months. I would definitely buy it again. I feel it’s a good value for the money.

A roomy leather tote
Color: Coffee, Color: Coffee
Firstly, the color of this bag was something I’ve been looking for awhile. I like that it’s structured and is just the right size to carry a lot of items without being too big. I was also impressed with the amount of pockets. I was going to buy a Portland Leather bag but learned they are unlined. Well this has lining. The stitching looks pretty decent, too. If you are looking to buy a leather bag for a good price, I’d pick one up now before tariffs kick in on leather goods!

Very Nice For The Price
Color: Nude
I wanted a plain neutral colored clutch purse to carry at a wedding. This was one is inexpensive, but does not look cheap. It will easily hold a lipstick, compact, small hair rush, and my phone. It comes with detachable chain that you can use if you want to, but I think it looks more dressy without it. I am sure this will suit your needs if you want a decent clutch purse that doesn't cost a lot of money.
