absolutely love
I have been on the search for a small black suede crossbody and this is such a winner! Not too big and not too small. Love the all black, no shiny hardware so I don’t have to worry about matching my jewelry. Couldn’t be happier!

Interior zipper defective.
Nordstrom online customer service said, after very long wait, that they cannot do anything to help though I have only used for a couple of months. Bringing it to the store in hopes of better response from staff there. Online customer service completely unhelpful, so disappointing from Nordstrom, as a decades-long customer.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Tess sling bag is everything I hoped it would be. A gorgeous quality bag that is light to carry but holds a lot. A great summer bag that I’m using daily. Perfect!

I love it, it’s comfy
I love it, it’s comfy to wear and provides easy access to all my personal stuff I tote around with me. The only thing that needs improvement is that the strap does not stay tucked in the loop on the purse and I constantly have to insert it into the loop.
