After several days the offensive smell is gone and now it should get 5 stars!I'm very glad that I bought this purse to use during my family vacation in GA and SC last week.
It's beautiful and big enough to carry around in both sunny and rainy time. I received it 2 weeks prior to my trip, so I had enough time to leave it outside the closet to vent out the strong new leather smell. For the price, it's very great too.
Before searching from the internet, I went to a few stores to look for another backpack bag (I already have a good one in black from Nine West that I bought 3 years ago. Love it!) of brown color but could not find any one this good and this inexpensive.I rarely take the time to write reviews but I have to say how much I love this purse. I bought it in black and I like it so much that I came back to buy another just to keep in the closet for when this one wears out. Sad to see only brown is left, but I am very hopeful they will get the black back in stock! Keeping my fingers crossed. Great bag, plenty of storage to organize and secure pockets.Best bag I've ever owned. This is not a boyish looking back pack. This bag looks classy, ladylike, ready to go shopping or to the restaurant and still contains all I need. Great quality leather. I'm waiting for the brown one to become available and I'll buy this one tooFirst, let me get this out of the way, this is not a designer purse. My wife loves her smaller backpack purse and was always looking for a larger one as the smaller one is bloated with everything she carries in it. She has shopped locally and found it hard to find an affordable one like this purse. Luckily, Amazon as usual, came through along with it's 3rd party sellers.
Let's take a quick look at this purse.
PRO:
The zipper for the main center is well thought out. Provides a more secure situation. Too often, other backpack purses have the main zipper that going across like the outside zipper so someone may be able to unzip it without you knowing. This main zipper in the middle is from front of body to back (perpendicular to outside zipper). It gets folded over when you wear the purse, helping avoid easy theft.
It's a nice overall size, my wife is petite and I have to say it looks good on her, it doesn't look like she is wearing something too big for her size and this backpack has enough room to carry a bit of everything a woman carries, I guess.
Under $30, large enough for many things to be packed inside, affordable.
CON:
The texture and the material is hard. She ordered a different color (lighter) and that material was very soft, this one is hard to the point that the bottom portion that touches your back when wearing, hits against one's back when wearing. It's hard to explain in words but only once when you wear it, you will understand it. I don't know if it is because of different treatment or processing of the leathers, but this one was not comfortable.
The inside lining is cheap. It is acceptable but be careful with anything sharp or has pointed ends.
Conclusion:
Is it completely 100% leather? I doubt it. How long will it last? This remains to be seen. So far, she is very happy to find this type of purse. I would give it more stars but the hard dark brown leather prevents that.
