The bag is beautiful, well-made, and priced reasonably! The bottom length is not 17.5" as shown on the video (which was a major concern prior to purchase); it's about 13" in length which is really what I prefer. It's a big tote but not overwhelmingly big, at least not for a 5'6" lady! It has great interior compartments, a feature usually lacking in full-grain leather totes. Like all leather materials, it scratches easily, so be mindful of that! There's nothing not to like about this tote. It's gorgeous and practical! I love it! By the way, it came with a surprise luggage tag gift! Thank you for it! Overall, I would recommend it!I love this bag. It is a bit stiff but i think in time it should soften some. I would have given this bag 5 stars, but the straps are wider than I expected also because it hasn't really broken in it's not settled so I have to force things into it. It is a great size for my needs and has a good selection of inside pockets.It’s a little too big for an every day bag but will be great for traveling!This bag is gorgeous and well made. Similar bags are well over $150 and do not have the quality of this bag. It's perfect for my work laptop and all the other things you'd normally carry in a purse. It's packaged with care, too. Totally recommend. I'll be buying another for a gift.It’s stiff and heavy. Because it’s LEATHER! Smells like it too. Love everything about it. I can keep my planner in the large inside pocket. It’s big but too stiff to lose all your stuff in the bottom. It matches my Frye boots perfectly, but not at a ridiculous price.Does have an interesting odor. Very stiff and rigid. I like the size and the neutral color. The distressed look is also something I like. Probably not for everyone.Within 15 minutes of using the inside pocket hasp broke so it is hanging on by one hasp! I also am fuming that I have to take an almost $9 loss to return this item to a UPS drop off location. WHOLE FOODS the free return option would cost me more than $9 In gas to get there! Definitely do not buy!It is to big for my needs. Please send a return Label
