New York Leather East/West Tote

. . . not functional. I have long admired this tote. I have one other DeMillier bag and love it. I purchased this inthe Stone Gray Lizard. It is a gorgeous bag and beautifully made. However, it is heavy when empty. If you fill it with all you would carry in a tote, you cannot carry it. While the straps seem long enough to carry on your shoulder, you cannot do that if the bag is full. So you have to hand carry it . . . and it is super heavy if you have a laptop and such in it. It was just not functional for me, so I returned it.

I received a FAKE bag from Nordstrom today. Failed an online authenticator as well as the store telling me even the dust bag is fake. Seems like they directly send me the bag from TJMAXX not from the Nordstrom. DHL delivered my package on the common street walk of my mailbox. The box came completely squashed and damaged. Right there and then I called customer service and got that fake bag returned for the full refund. Please avoid buying this bag
