Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I ordered the black purse that was Prime eligible (there were two purchasing options for the black purse at the time I ordered). The purse smells fine! It has silver hardware and the photos are very accurate. I am quite picky about purses and this one suits my needs. It does appear to be genuine leather. Soft enough but still firm enough to have the feel of durability. There is ample room in this purse which was key for me because you never know when you need to throw in a bottle of water and winter gloves. Some observations: 1. The drop for the shoulder when using the shoulder strap is excellent. Plenty of room and it will work with bulky coats. Should also be fine for plus sized women. When you look at it lying flat it doesn't seem very long but once you add some weight to the bottom the purse folds. Additionally, the strap has functional buckles on both ends so you can adjust it and eve remove it if you prefer the long strap and it gets in the way. 2. The long strap is nicely made and converts it to a cross-body style which feels and looks good (not awkward). Unlike other Heshe purses I looked at the strap does not have material sewn on one side. It's 100% leather. 3. The interior pouches are not very deep, about 4" which isn't adequate for most smart phones, especially if you have a large case. This is not an issue for me since I never use these pockets for my phone. I will be using them for my primary cosmetics and mirror. 4. The zipper pouch on the side is bigger than some reviews led me to believe. It's actually about 5.5" deep and pretty practical. 5. The interior zipper pouch is nicely sized. Not too big, not too small. 6. The dividing pouch in the middle is about as high as the purse is tall and it does a nice job with organizing. I keep all of my odds and ends in there and it's actually pretty easy to see them when you look inside. 7. The lining is a lovely brown with a satin finish. The material feels very durable which is important. My one complaint is that the interior zipper pulls are small and hard to find blind. I'm sure I will get used to this in time or modify them.
