The perfect bag if you're looking for a casual look.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great quality with a beautiful design. The perfect bag if you're looking for a casual look. There is room for storage and it is a crossbody so you have many options on how to hold it. I would love to buy another one again sometime soon. First saw in Dillards but ordered online.

returning this SAK

This brand has been iconic until now! Both the tobacco leather crossbody "Melrose" bag for a gift and must return. Three reasons: 1) the plastic bag the purse arrived in had a slice in it, and when I took the plastic off, the leather itself had a slice mark in it across the front of the purse. Not good, warehouse! 2)the zipper are chunky , stiff, and difficult to open to the point I thought there was some paper or thread stuck in the teeth. Nope! Just a cheap zipper The inside nylon zipper worked fine. 3) Not impressed by "embossed leather". Pattern is flattened in some areas Disappointed SAK!

Love the handbag. It’s soft

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love the handbag. It’s soft and I love the blue. I do wish it was just a little bigger but it works fine. I’m liking all the pockets.

I love the Melrose cross

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love the Melrose cross body purse for the pockets and overall fantastic functionality. I already have it in another color (indigo). I wanted something fun for fall so I took a chance on the persimmon suede. Fair warning, the color is very orange in person. Not a bad thing, but it's definitely not subtle. I'm returning this because the strap leather quality isn't what I expected. The leather feels very smooth, not pebbled. The strap is lumpy at the stitching where the strap pieces are joined. It's just inferior compared to the quality of my blue melrose bag. I'm going to order it again in black cherry though because this really is my favorite purse out of my sak collection.
