I LOVE this bag! It's the perfect cross body bag. The leather is beautiful and cleans up nicely. I'm a busy mom of 2 so I like to have my hands free while I'm out and about. This is a great size - I can easily fit my full size wallet, phone, sunglasses and things like eye drops, lip balm and keys. I also really love the "flatter" shape - lays nicely on the body and doesn't move around a ton like some cross body bags. The off-white is a beautiful color for summer but will transition nicely into fall and winter. Highly recommend this one!!!
I love this purse! It is amazing how much I can fit into it. I recently went on a trip and was able to carry my wallet (which granted is small), my camera, a souvenir tshirt, as well as my other daily things. Its amazing! Would buy again!

I've purchased this bag in black twice. The first one lasted about two years and I admittedly could have taken better care of it. The biggest sign of wear was the zipper pulls were becoming flimsy rather than sturdy, simply from frequent use. No big deal. Plus you can send that to a Kate Spade repair shop and they'll replace it. But no I gave this bag away because it was too beat up for me.
Then I bought the bag again so I could have a brand new one. Great right? I was SO disappointed with how quickly it started falling apart. I used it much more gently over the course of a year. It will be hard for me to explain this, but the seams at the lip of the bag (the very top of the bag, above the zipper, on both sides), started coming undone. Everything was in one piece, but tiny pieces of thread started poking through the seams. Several tiny pieces of thread. Trimming them only made them worse and resulted in more white threads poking through. It looked terrible. This is totally a flaw in the construction of the bag. I don't expect any bag to last forever, but I would certainly expect it to last more than a year with gentle but frequent use. I have a similar Marc Jacobs bag that is holding up beautifully.
So I'm frustrated. The shape and size of this bag is PERFECT for me. It's the perfect size!!! And with an outside zipper for me to put my cell phone in! The zippers are all very important to me because I'm paranoid someone will slip their hand in my bag and steal something (urban living problems). So believe it or not, there are next to no cross body bags with this shape and size that have an outside pocket zipper. So basically this is the only bag that meets my size and shape standards, but I can't trust it to not fall apart! Maybe I'll give it one last chance.. idk.

Does not fit an Ipad

Beautiful purse. I wanted this for my IPad. Sadly while the iPad would fit in the purse, the opening is about 1/16 too small to allow the iPad to be put in the purse. Too bad. With so many women using tablets you would think this purse would easily accommodate an IPad. Poor design.
