Scarleton Purses for Women, Top Handle Hobo Tote Bag, Faux Leather Satchel Shoulder Bag Large, H1476

This is the 3rd handbag for my wife. She loves the design and storage and great value for the money

I had a purse that I had used for at least 20 years, if not more. It was the size I like, had lots of pockets, a place for everything, and I loved it. Recently one of the handles was starting to break and could not be repaired, so I begrudgingly started shopping for a new one. When I saw the Scarleton purse, I thought this might be the one. It appeared to have pretty much everything I wanted in a purse. I read the reviews, some good, some bad, and came away with the feeling that even though it was not the quality of my old purse, it might work. I shopped around a little more, didn't find anything I liked nearly as much, so I decided to give it a try.I was pleasantly surprised when it arrived. The purse was sturdier than the reviews had let me to believe. Not the quality of my old purse (which was really well made and sturdy), but it had substance. My old purse was a structured leather, while this one is a soft leather, but I kind of like the softness of it.I can't get over all of the nooks and crannies in this purse. It has two large, zippered inner sections that are good-sized. One section has slip-in pockets, and the other has a zipped pocket. There is a back zipped pocket, and a front zipped pocket, all decent sized. The front also has a small pocket with 2 magnetic snaps. Then there are the huge, zippered side pockets. I can't tell you how much junk I can fit in each of them. For example, I have an iPhone 11 in a full Otterbox-type case. I just emptied one of the pockets and slipped my iPhone in it. The phone got lost in all of the space. I could easily have fit 2, if not 3 phones in that pocket, with room to spare.After only one week of using it, I loved this purse so much that I've ordered a second one for future use. As I said, this one is not as well made as my old purse was, and I don't expect to be able to get 20+ years out of it, so I have a backup for when it wears out. That was my husband's suggestion. He knows how I've been agonizing over replacing my old purse, and he is the one who suggested that I get another, just in case it's no longer available when my current one wears out.I would highly recommend this purse to anyone who, like me, likes a larger purse with lots of separated storage space, and one that closes securely with zippers.

I got this for myself for Christmas.. well also because my old bag broke., I really love pockets.. so I thought this one would be really neat to have.. well neat and practical are two totally different things.. This bag has a LOT of room in it. with two main pockets and four zippered in front and one in back, there are many things you could put in them, and this is basically why I bought it.. however, I wasn't keeping in mind my electronics.When purchasing a shoulder bag, I usually take into account what I will put in it and what I will need immediate access too..Well, when buying this bag, I didn't do either.. I found it attractive and I love pockets... so the zippers in the front were enticing.. I know I'm being weird right now.. but that is why I bought the bag. I bought it for the look of it. When receiving it, I learned quickly I shouldn't have done that.My phone didn't fit in the front pockets.. they can hold business cards and pens and a mini manicure, but not my G5.. I had to put it in one of the two large main pockets. Because of the size of the bag, when trying to fish out my phone when it's ringing, well lets just say it annoyed me. The bag is over sized for my needs and doesn't provide the easy pocket on the outside of the bag for a cell phone.. However, it's still a nice bag so I'm not returning it.. I gave it to my daughter, she has more patient's for it than I do with the size of the bag and flexibility of the fabric. I did get another bag in the same line "Scarleton" for Christmas from my family - this one is a bit smaller and has more flip and click pockets.. I like it so much better. But like I said this is not a bad bag, it's just not the right bag for me.Just to get an idea of how big this bag is.. I could fit an extra set of cloths and makeup kit (weekender bag) along with my phone, kindle and wallet in the main pockets.Happy shopping!
