"Love love love this bag!! The leather is so soft. And the bag is so lightweight. And for its size, it holds a ton of stuff! So happy I decided to purchase from Sak. You definitely get more for your money- Compared to other brands! I will definitely buy again! Thank you Sak ♥️"
"I love this bag! I was looking for a neutral shoulder bag and this is perfect. It's not too large to look bulky but big enough to hold everything I need. I love the color and think it will go with everything."
"I absolutely love this shoulder bag. The leather is soft and excellent quality. The stone color will be a wonderful neutral for spring and summer. The style is so cute and the purse is roomier than I thought it would be and that was a pleasant surprise! I love all of my Sak handbags."
"A beautiful leather bag. Perfect size and I love the adjustable shoulder straps."
"Love her! She’s the perfect size and great for an everyday bag. The leather is soft and so it gives the slouchy look."
"I really like the size and leather quality. It is very lightweight, which I like. The zipper is okay, I think it could be better quality, because it occasionally hangs. And I wish it had an outside slip pocket for my phone. I’m carrying it daily and overall, I like it."
"I am obsessed with this bag. The rivets on the bag are perfect. This bag reminds me of a bag I had in 2002 but so much better, the leather feels so soft and very high quality. It’s also super light weight which I love. Highly recommend this bag!"
"I really like the purse, but feel that the description was miss leading. When you look at the purse on the models shoulder it looks much bigger. So I must say I was disappointed with that. I also thought it would hold more. I don't think I will be making any further purchases."
"I like it but I wish it was a tad bigger inside and with a little wider strap in the brown leather like the Liz feliz purses. I like a two tone look. A little pricy for a smaller purse"
"I really like the size, style, and color of this purse. I wanted something for spring/summer and this is perfect. I was using a smaller crossbody, and felt like I was could barely fit anything, and now I can comfortably fit everything I need."
