I adore this purse. Bought it in the grey. Very high quality leather and love the compartments inside, plus the versatility of shoulder strap or hobo. Wish I had the nerve to buy it in Cognac too! LOVE! My favorite anniversary sale splurge this year.

Almost Perfect
This Frye purse is the perfect size and goes with everything. I love that you can carry it as s satchel or as a crossbody (although the crossbody strap could be 2 inches longer). The biggest downfall is that there is not an outside pocket to slip cell phone in and there is no key hook in it.

Soft and Supple
The Melissa Whipstitch is a beautiful leather bag! I was pleasantly surprised at how soft and comfortable the leather straps were fresh out of the bag and there is nothing like the smell of new leather! I was concerned that the cross body strap may be too short, but it's just right on my 5'8" frame. It would be "perfect" if it had an outside zip or pocket, but I'll adjust. I got the cognac color and it is a nice deep brandy color with some hints of chocolate making it rich and lovely. Highly recommend!

Very Very Happy with my purchase!!!
I got this bag in brown, I love the weight of it. It is solid and I will have this purse for a very long time. Just what you would expect from Frye. I was using a bigger bag and I like that this one is smaller but still very roomy. Great smell too!

love this bag
I purchased both the brown and grey during the anniversary sale. Love them both. The leather is very soft is does distress/scratch but it enhances the look. Light weight and roomy.

Gorgeous Bag!
I'm always impressed with the quality of any Frye product and this handbag does not disappoint. I love this beautiful gray color, and I'm thinking about getting another on in the cognac! I bought it during the anniversary sale...what a deal!

Wow
Found this gem (the cognac) by chance while waiting for a beauty appointment. Decided to wear it around the store for a bit to "try it on". After a few minutes I was in love; so much so I ordered the grey one online too. Already a fan of Frye boots, I know these are quality pieces that are timeless. If you think it's too big for a petite woman, it's not (I'm 5'1"). You'll love it!

LOVE. THIS. BAG. You won't be disappointed!!
LOVE. THIS. BAG. There was a Frye handbag in the Anniversary Sale last year that I was contemplating getting (similar to this one in style and color), but I hesitated too long, and they ended up being sold out...and never had more in stock -- because I kept checking. This year, I was not going to miss out! And I am glad that I didn't. This bag is just the right size, extremely well-made (as would be expected from Frye), and goes with just about everything. It is a lovely shade of grey...not too dark and not too light. It has enough pockets for me with two small ones on one side (I put car keys in one and lipgloss etc in the other), and then there is a larger zip pocket on the other side which fits my iPhone 6s Plus perfectly with some room to spare. At the Anniversary Sale price, it is a steal, but I would have paid full price for it too.

Love this bag!
I am so happy I bought this bag! It is gorgeous leather, I loved the smell when I opened the box. It is roomy so perfect to carry everything I need, as well as all the items my guy keeps handing me ("Could you put this in your purse?"). Looks great with jeans or to make a sweet little dress a little more edgy.

Stunning
This bag is truly gorgeous. The leather, the stitching, . . . Everything is perfection.
Only downfall, it may not be big enough more me.
