Field Leather Messenger Bag

Ok, I love this purse with the exception of 3 things. First, the price is about $200 too high. Secondly, it needs a zip pocket on the interior wall for all those little things that rattle around inside. Thirdly, the strap is too short for a proper crossbody. I'm going to see about getting a custom made strap that's longer. Having said all that, it's quite perfect. It's the right size, has ample exterior pockets to keep me organized, the design is amazing, and the leather is divine. This is, by far, the most I've ever paid for a purse but I think of it as a fashion investment as it will be quite perfect 10 years from now, too.

This is a beautiful bag. However, as others have posted, the magnet on the front clasp doesn't stay closed. I contacted Rag and Bone, and they sent me the name of a company that does their leather repairs, but I don't think it can be fixed. Also, because the leather is so soft, the purse has no structure. (In the photo, it's probably stuffed with paper.) I cut a couple of pieces of cardboard to put in the bottom so it wouldn't sag from the weight of the contents. That worked well. It was still "slumpy," so I tried some purse organizer inserts (which also would have helped with the fact that the interior has only one small, flat pocket), but they were all too big. You can't really use the front pockets unless you want to unbuckle them every time. I am keeping the purse because I love the look. And because I've been searching forever for a shoulder bag that can be adjusted to be shorter (not crossbody). Sometimes form supersedes function.

This bag is rated as a small capacity, but it’s more like medium. I’m always surprised that I can always fit so much in it. The leather is amazing and it’s super soft. It looks so good with jeans, shirt and boots. If you’re on the fence, def go for it. It was worth the $$

I purchased for a road trip so that I could sling my bag across me for more security and convenience. The first day the front magnetic buckle would not stay closed. It keep unlatching and the noise when you walked was annoying with the clanking of the two magnetic pieces. On the up side big enough to carry more items then just a few cards and a phone. The adjustable straps and great for multiple length as some crossbodys are made for giants. The buckle to adjust are placed on the sides of the bag and that’s nice that you don’t have a buckle right across your breasts. Leather is so soft.

I love this bag! The lamb leather is so soft, and contrasts nicely with the calf leather trim on the shoulder strap and the pocket closures. The difference between the two leathers is very subtle, and there is not a noticeable difference in the colors. The bag has numerous pockets - zip pocket in back, pocket under the flap, the two small front pockets, so it is great for keeping organized. The sizing is perfect - I can carry everything I need without the bag being stuffed. The strap is just long enough for me to wear the bag cross-body, but I mostly just wear it on my shoulder. Perfect for casual weekend outfits -

This bag is made well. Sturdy, lots of places to put things, for a bag on the smaller side. The magnet closure does not stay closed. It flaps and clicks annoyingly while you walk. I would have also preferred a longer strap for crossbody usage. I believe this bag should sell for less than half of what it costs. Definitely not worth the price tag. Returned, unfortunately.

I love the look of the bag, it’s size, and the various compartments. The quality is a disappointment. The strap is thin and feels like cheap cowhide. The stitching is uneven and the overall craftsmanship on the interior flaps is poor. If this bag were under $300 I would keep it, but at this price point the quality just isn’t there.

I have the small field bag and love it, so I thought the larger one would be a very good purchase. I had seen other reviews describing the problem with the magnetic closure not staying closed, but I thought the problem had been corrected because those reviews were from a couple of years ago. But no, it is still a problem and renders the bag with an annoying clanging because the flap does not stay shut. Nordstrom graciously accepted the return and told me they had just had another bag like this come back for the same reason. This is a problem for Rag and Bone and they should fix it with a much stronger magnet.

I bought this bag on a whim because I love it’s BoHo look… at first I thought it was too small to carry the stuff I shove into my larger bags… proven wrong. It holds a TON… slim, and deceptively functional. I love the two ‘lock’ front pockets for hold the keys to my car and home (both of which open passively) the front slip pocket with the magnetic clasp (which works excellently for me) is a great spot for my cell phone. Inside slip interior pocket is great for my note pad, plenty of room in the main compartment for my LARGE wallet, sunglasses, eye glasses AND make up bag … back zip is awesome for pens, and things like a nail file, eye glass wipes, whatever. This bag has so much going on. I understand someone said it was about 200 dollars overpriced… I can get on board with that to some extent with the exception that the craftsmanship and styling is incredible, and NO I don’t believe this is meant to be a crossbody bag… why on earth does everyone have to carry a handbag on their tummy???? This is a traditional shoulder bag, hits at the hips and flows with your movements. The tan color I purchased is universally gorgeous and fun. I get complements every time I put it over my shoulder.

This is a bag you can take anywhere with any look (except maybe black tie). It has 2 zipped sections with a third under the front flap plus 2 buckled pockets in front to keep things organized. The leather is very high quality and makes any outfit look more expensive when you are carrying it. It is pricey but worth it. I know it will wear well because I already have another one in light brown leather that looks like new after 2 years of using it every day.

Been using this bag for a month. Front flap closure is magnetic only and doesn't stay closed and internal pocket is small with no zipper. Things fall out of it. I am generally frustrated with the quality level of even pricey bags so getting this on sale seemed like a decent value. It's a good size for me as an all day bag.

Rag & Bone is -to one of my go-to clothing brands, but this is my first handbag. At first I wasn't sure if I liked it, but decided to take it for a "trial run". Transferred everything I normally carry into it, including one of those large zippered wallets. Room for all, and easy to organize. It has a top zipper compartment and a back zipper compartment. The zippers are high quality and easy to open with long fringe pulls. There is also a nice sized pocket on the inside of the main compartment. The strap is wide and sturdy, and adjustable for cross body. So helpful for me, because I am smaller and bags slip off my shoulder. The little pockets on the front seem more decorative. You could open them and put in something small, but they need to be unbuckled each time, so no. Obviously I decided to keep the bag and continue to like it more each time I use it.
