Love it but too small

I had a purse for several years that met my needs. I am not the kind of person to switch purses often except for special occasions. My old purse was looking really sad and so I began a quest to find a purse that met my needs that was similar to my old purse. It was HARD! When I found this Fossil purse I was hopeful. The features I was looking for were: A mid sized purse that wasn't like a piece of luggage or so tiny I would be carrying my keys in my hand. It had an inside pocket for small items. A second inside pocket for my glasses. It had an outside pocket, at least one for my pen and my phone. I was delighted to finally find these features and more in this Fossil purse. It even had 2 outside pockets! One is zippered and that is where I store my car keys. One outside pocket is not zippered and that is where my phone goes but it is not loose and my phone doesn't fall out at all, it's snug. I have and iPhone 12. I have a small wallet and a little bottle of hand sanitizer in the main compartment inside. The glasses pocket took some getting used to. I have a pair of back up sunglasses in the bottom of that pocket and my reading glasses on top. I would have made that pocket into 2 pockets side by side with each of the openings being more narrow so that 2 pairs of glasses could have fit in side by side with no scratching. For that reason my reading glasses stay in a sleeve, but I know where they are when I need them right away. The other inside pocket is zippered, that is where I keep a few small things. I would have put this pocket on the opposite side where the glasses pocket is. That way when I put my phone away it doesn't push against the bulk that the items in the inside zipper pocket creates. The purse is well made, it looks like it will age well and last a long time. I'm very content. The price was more than I spent on my previous purse but I am sure this will last longer and hold up.

I absolutely love my purse!It’s what I was looking for, something not too small not to big, simple yet elegant and quality is great.

Just received this bag today and it’s exactly as expected. I am not a huge fan of large gaudy handbags and I tend to only carry a few small items anyway (cards, lip balm, hand sanitizer, mints, phone, keys). If you’re like me and you prefer to keep it light and simple, you need this bag. Attached photos to show that all of my items fit with room to spare. Color and quality are gorgeous. Functionality is an easy A+ as the purse features several interior/exterior pockets for straight forward organization.

This purse was exactly what I wanted. Loved the size, simplicity, the fact that it was advertised as genuine leather. This is my only purse, so it gets a lot of use. What I did not realize, because it was not mentioned anywhere in the description, is that the strap is not made out of leather. It is cracking everywhere including the piece that is sewn into the purse (pictures 1 and 2). I like the purse so much that I am planning to buy a genuine leather replacement strap, however, I will still have to take the purse to a leather repair place because the pieces that connect the shoulder strap hardware to the purse are also cracking and fraying. I would have gladly paid more for a true all parts genuine leather purse and avoid this inconvenience.

Love this purse. It is my second one; the other was a gift and it was the only purse I used for years and it still looks new. I wanted one in brown as well as the black one. The strap is adjustable so can be a shoulder bag or crossover.

Very nice

This is better leather than most and great value. width and opening are big enough to easily access items. Medium size makes it easy to carry all necessities as its not large and bulky. Strong, quality zippers. Strap is long enough for a larger woman. Love the simple lines and multiple pocket design. Looking forward to a long lasting go-to purse.
