 Gorgeous! Nov 23, 2008
By K. Penner
I love this bag, it's big, but not too big, and leather is wonderfully soft. I have the Dark Amber one, which is a really versatile year round color, I've been using it every day since I got it, and the lining is a gorgeous graffiti print. I love "hidden" section in the flap too, open up the zipper and the compartment reaches all the way to the bottom of the bag, a great place to keep important items you don't want to take any chances with. The two pockets in the front are easily big enough for a cell phone or an iPod. The bag can be carried easily on your shoulder, but when you want to get something out of the bag you definitely have to take it off, because the flap makes it a little awkward to get at anything otherwise. The drop is not long enough to wear as a cross body bag, it's definitely meant to be worn as a shoulder or handbag only. I'm hoping at some point to get this bag in Teak or Black as well.

Great purchase Feb 24, 2009
By Beatrice Billard
I recently purchased this bag in green and I absolutely love it.
Pros:
* Roomy, fits everything I need and there's still plenty of room left (large wallet, keys, phone, small umbrella, glasses case, small toiletries bag...)
* Overall good quality, sturdy bag; nice soft leather and nicely finished
* Convenient adjustable strap: can be lengthened to wear cross-body (messenger-style) or shortened to use as a shoulder bag
* 2 additional straps at the back of the bag, which can be used to carry an umbrella, a yoga mat, a rolled-up sweater... very handy
* Versatile, looks equally good with a variety of outfits; I wear everywhere.
Cons:
* The top flap simply folds onto the main compartment, you can't close it securely as you might if it had some kind of fastener. In fairness I haven't had anything even remotely come close to falling out, but this wouldn't be the best bag to wear on a bike
* The 2 front pockets have magnetic closures
* The front pocket flaps came held in place by glue dots, so they wouldn't flip up during shipping I assume; the glue left the leather stained (fortunately it's not in a conspicuous spot)
Overall a great purchase, well worth the price.

better in real life May 02, 2009
By CS
I just purchased this bag in green (lime) at the store. It actually looks MUCH nicer in real life. They should have included a picture of someone carrying it. The leather is very nice and soft and it's light in weight. I wish the bottom was reinforced with something stiffer which is why I didn't give it 5 stars. The flap doesn't snap close, but I actually like that because it makes it easy to get into your purse while it's still on your shoulder. So far it doesn't look like stuff would fall out easily, the flap seems to stay down pretty well. The other reviewers complained about the strap being a weird length, but I find it's the perfect purse length for me at the shortest length. It's adjustable but even at the longest length it probably won't be enough to wear across the front for the average person. Like the other reviewers said it's the perfect size, not too big, not too small. I love that it sort of looks like a saddle/messenger bag. I find most bags in this price range are ugly so this is a good buy.

Wonderful leather everyday bag Jul 04, 2009
By Dominique W
It looks like this bag was released with two types of straps OR two bags are listed using the same name. One strap is adjustable and can go cross-body. The other strap is a short hobo strap.
The bag I purchased was a black flap with the shorter strap. The leather on this bag is better than some on my bags that have cost 4x as much. The downside is that some of the details are sloppy. Stitching, piping and how the leather is cut (especially under the straps that open the two flap pockets). All extremely sloppy when examined closely.
The overall effect of this bag is better than I anticipated for this price range. None of the sloppy details stick out from the bag to. The flap makes it easy to use as an everyday bag. I haven't had anything fall out of it yet. The strap is comfortable. The front pockets are useful. The flap zips open and it is a large pocket that runs down the full back of the bag. I use this for papers so that the inside of my bag is not cluttered.
The inside of my bag was a solid colored khaki cotton with a bright blue SAK tag. There is a zippered pocket and two slip pockets that are excellent for cell phones and lip balms. Excellent organization.
My bag also has no feet. I have seen some styles with feet but they seem to be the ones that have the bright graffiti lining. Mine does not and there has been no damage done to my bag in their absence.
A great knock around bag. Excellent for everyday. The leather makes this bag stand out in it's price range. It also comes in a variety of colors.

Pleased overall... Dec 22, 2008
By Sofia Ballbeck
"Soph"
Good quality leather and overall product. I am very happy with the look and design of the bag. The only cons (as far as I see it) are the the lining in my bag is pretty dull (just brown muslin) and that the strap is a slightly awkward (longish) length. Other than that, I love this bag (which I frequently get compliments on) for it's saddlebag like look.
