The Essential Bucket Tote (Nordstrom Exclusive)

I got this bag in black and after using it for a few weeks I liked it enough to also get it in warm cinnamon. The first bag is great. The second bag came not stuffed; folded in half (leather folded in half and flattened) in the plastic bag instead of the box. All out of shape and beat up; scuffed up all over with a small dark stain on one side. I'm not sure what happened but it wasn't even on clearance or sale. I paid full price for a defective (possibly heavily used) bag. So it's going back. I hope they don't try to re-sell it to someone else as I've listed the reason for return as "defective item". The color is gorgeous though so don't let this review discourage you from trying it. Hope you get a new one.

Beautiful, understated classy bag. Looks good dressed-up or -down. Nicely proportioned for someone my height (5'9"). Big enough to hold the essentials while maintaining its shape. I would love it in several colors!

Nice narrow but deep bucket purse. It’s lightweight with supple leather that seems like it will hold up well.

This has been a great bag for work. I have a small lunch sack I throw in there, supplies, essentials, wallet and I can even fit water bottles. The brown is a pretty color. The small inside pocket is handy. I really love this bag!

I've had this bucket bag in my wish list for a while now. The color matches the picture perfectly, it's really beautiful. But, the leather is thin. I was surprise that it kept its shape. You can see easily see the thread pattern pocket that's sewn inside the bag. As big as this bag is, there was no leather smell. #iykyk

This could be an Amazon item…MAYBE! Unfinished, Unlined and just unacceptable low end merchandise. I have purchased other items from this brand and was never so displeased…immediate return!
