worth the hunt
I first saw this bag at my Nordstrom store and immediately fell in love with it. I didn’t pull the trigger initially and it sold out and kept selling out when it would pop back. After a frustrating cancelled order I finally snagged this and it’s perfect! I love the shape and how it kinda molds to my body when I carry it. The suede is beautiful and the color is insane. I love the amount of space it has inside I can get so much in there including my iPad! The interior pocket for my cards is great and it just feels good to carry. It’s 100% worth the hunt for this if u can catch it! This is my favorite mahogany bag out there and it is not expensive but very very well made!

Gorgeous bag but
I LOVE the bag and color, so when it was back in stock I immediately purchased. However, the zipper is missing the pull piece. I would exchange it, but the color is sold out every where. I decided to keep it and order a zipper to fix it myself.

Really Nice Suede Bag
I’ve been looking for a dark navy suede bag for a while. This is it! I really like it, the only drawback is the odor it emits. It has a chemical smell. I’ve been airing it, and also put a box of baking soda in and zipped it, maybe that will help. The size is a little larger than a medium bag. There is one small inside pocket, and a full zip closure, which is great. And I appreciate the wide, adjustable shoulder strap. Now I’m looking for a black one if it’s available.

A fall must!
I NEVER do a review but this bag deserved it. Absolutely in love! The material is a soft suede, the size is perfect and the color is to die for. Perfectly stylish to step into fall 2024, very mindful, very demure.
