20 Best Travel Purse For Women (2023 Updated)

This is a well constructed Handbag. The color is a “Dark Purple” which I absolutely Love! Its Large enough to put all your things in. It can withstand punishment. I love it. The Zippers are very Strong and Secure.

The zippers don’t catch onto the material. The Lining in the purse is well constructed. Its a very “Pretty and Stylish” handbag. The Strap is Adjustable and it is Long enough and the Strap is Sturdy and Thick.

This is not a Flimsy bag by no means. I love it, it is made of High Quality Material and the fact that it is Waterproof is a definite plus. Water just rolls right off of it and it dries quickly. Enough said.

High Quality, True to Color Nice, Sturdy Bag! You won’t be sorry with this purchase. Worth every dime. Thank you, I would Buy this Bag Again in a Different Color in a Heart Beat !!!!!!!!.

I just love this bag. It’s just the right size for shopping or work. I highly recommend anybody to buy one NOW.

Lots of pockets and places to organize your purse contents. Love the room and lightness of the purse. Can be worn on the shoulder or crossbody. Great product!

I was skeptical about spending this much on a bag this size but I am so glad I did. This fits so much more than you can ever imagine and served me well on a 50 hour journey. It’s sturdy, strong material and very flexible.

Love the quality.

The bag itself is OK. I purchased the black one, which should have a black leather strap and a second, guitar strap. The first one arrived without a guitar strap, so I had to return the entire purse (they don’t ship just the strap you were missing).

The second purse arrived with the guitar strap as mentioned, BUT the strap on the this bag do not come off with hook closures. So to use the guitar strap on this one, you would have two straps on. Disappointed because I thought I would have a purse to be convertible for different fashion outfits.

But I do not, after the hassle of the first return I’m not going to bother. Sad. But the purse is OK – like any other I could have found with one strap.

I bought the hand-crocheted Lucia Crossbody in Vagabond Stripe two years ago, and I still love this purse. It’s just the right size for me, and it has roomy interior and exterior compartments so I can organize my belongings.

I always know where my keys are, and my phone (as long as I have remembered to put them in my purse!). Best of all, women I don’t even know stop and ask me where I got this purse because they want one just like it.

I take the time to show them the zippered compartments and how much room it has. I have carried this purse every day since I bought it, and it still looks great. Nothing has worn out or torn or faded.

If this purse ever wears out, I will get another one just like it in a heartbeat.

1. The leather is out nice quality. 2. The purse is much larger than expected even after considering the measurements online. 3. The zipper gets stuck when closing. I have to keep it held tight, so it can glide smoothly.

4. There are several pockets attached to the top of the purse near the zipper. When I put things in these pockets, like a phone in the phone pocket, it makes it difficult to zip the purse and access the contents below.

5. The magnet closing a side pocket is strong. It’s so strong that it takes two hands to open the closure.

I only carry Fossil Kinley crossbody bags. I have 4 different colors. This brown bag is my latest. She arrived and I love her. Notice I say her. She has quickly become my daily companion. The Kinley is made of soft fine leather, a great leaf punched out design on the front pocket flap.

Two other outside zipper pockets, then unzip the main compartment and there is room for your stuff! Two smaller pockets and a zipper pocket. The bag is not heavy therefore you control the weight by how much you load.

The shoulder strap is adjustable. This bag makes my life easier. This bag is so well designed there is not another bag on the market that can complete. order one, try it. You can make up your own mind.

I have been waiting for the black colour to be restocked and couldn’t be happier to get my hands on this one finally! I bought this as an alternative of another Fossil crossbody bag that I have had for few years already but when I looked at this one and saw the reviews, I thought it would be perfect to daily errands, going out to sightseeing when on vacation.

My only down side was that the bag doesn’t fit a large wallet, but since I have small wallets, I could just alternate my large wallet to a small one when to use this bag. And just perfect enough to bring the basics such as your phone, keys, hand sanitizer, mask, lip balm, pocket tissues.

And I am excited to wear this when going on vacation for sightseeing and it can fit into your carry on easily to switch from a tote bag or backpack when arriving at your destination and you cannot check in yet to your hotel and want to do sightseeing while waiting.

I love this purse so much! It’s compact, structured, light, lovely leather and so convenient. A large wallet wouldn’t fit in it, but I bought the small multifunctional fossil wallet and it’s perfect.

I still have room for the basics – keys, lipstick, sunglasses and a few other odds and ends. Not a lot, which I like as it keeps it light. My phone is huge – it fits in the back exterior pocket -makes it easy to get to.

The main flap is nice as I can leave the main opening unzipped yet with the flap closed it’s not fully open for all to see. The flap button is magnetic. a nice and handy touch. Plus, it’s cute and classy.

Great for every day.

The Mini Lillie in mustard yellow and gold-tone hardware is a wonderful addition to my wardrobe as it is both my statement bag and daily carry. I tuck the handles into the pockets when using as a crossbody or detach the removable and adjustable long strap when used as a hand carry (very chic looking, in my opinion).

I don’t typically carry it at the crook of the arm, but the handles, for me, is spacious enough to slip through my arm as a “crook-in-the-arm-carry. ” Thus far, I have used it both for church and errands – hand carry for a more elegant look and crossbody for a casual look.

I was skeptical about its capacity, but when I “played” around with it, a medium sized agenda can actually fit in the main compartment! Albeit nothing else can fit in the main compartment, the magnetic side pockets carried what I consider as essentials.

The exterior flat pocket carried either my (reusable) face mask or receipt or anything flat. The interior does not have any multipurpose slip pockets – a first for me, but it does have its COACH creed.

Overall, the bag is just the right size, and being that it’s a vibrant color, the size helps the color not become overwhelming. Extra comments: Just like the sun, the bag is seasonless – can be used throughout the season.

It need help deciding what to oair it with, think of nature. Besides pairing it with classic/neutral colors (i. e. , black, white and khaki) I have paired this with dark (or navy blue), rich brown, olive green, red, and as soon as the season turns to fall – rustic orange.

Color wheel may also be helpful to help one explore other color combination, but for me, my muse is nature to inspire me in combing colors. So far, I’ve received plenty of positive feedback :).

A little over a month ago, I purchased the Minnie Lillie Carryall with Daisy Applique in green, from the Diary collection, after being a little obsessed with it online. I have personally gotten into the habit of going to look at bags, in person, just to ensure it’s the correct hue, size, etc.

Well, this little cutie patootie, DID NOT disappoint. For a nano second (probably less than that), I wondered if the bag was too kiddie and it absolutely IS NOT. The sturdiness, color, embroidery and overall look of the bag is spot on.

I shop both Coach Retail and Coach Outlet. And one of things I LOVE about Coach Outlet is that it taps into that youthful, fun-loving, adventurous side that I think we sometimes file away, once we start “adulting”.

This bag is fresh, fun, and timeless. I have NEVER been the type to go with fads or trends. If I’m feelin’ it, I’m rockin’ it. I can’t wait to carry this piece.

I ordered the larger one and it was too big for what I wanted. So I ordered the mini hoping I would get what I wanted. I have carried it for a year now and thoroughly hate it. The compartment should be a little larger and the handles are all wrong.

The crossbody handle is too long for a short woman and cannot be adjusted. The small “old lady handles” don’t work either. I have had the crossbody catch on the feet and tip the purse over. I have lost my wallet twice because fo this.

Fortunately a kind soul found it. I love Coach but you are not making anyhting I like anymore.

Since I always use larger purses, I found myself in need of something that would hold just my cellphone and allow me to be hands free when walking in the neighborhood. I thought this would fit the bill and liked that it was water-resistant, as well as had options of a strap or belt; however, it is just a tiny bit too small (only 1/4 to 1/2) to fit my Samsung Galaxy Note.

If I leave the main compartment open with the phone sticking out, it is too loose and could easily fall out if I turn or stoop. The solution is to put it in the tighter outside zip pocket. It sticks out, but it is secure and easy to grab and doesn’t seem like it will fall out.

Also, it was very hard to adjust the belt and straps. Eventually I gave up and my husband was able to figure it out and size it for me. Wish Vera Bradley would have given thought to sizing a little more.

Just 1 taller would have been enough room for larger phones with cases to zip. Please make the straps and belt easier to manipulate and adjust. I would never use this as a purse, it is just too small, but redesigned just a bit longer would be perfect for securing a cell phone while going on a walk.

This will be great if the sizing and straps are redesigned.

Have loved my previous VB All in one however, this new one has serious flaw. When unzipped, the gusset lining has a Huge gaping hole, large enough my finger goes through, allowing objects to fall out.

All it would take is to extend depth of lining & attach to bottom of wallet. Customer service was nice, but the “review team” sent this was just the way it was intended to be made. I love all other aspects of product, including monogram, But am so surprised that Vera Bradley, a company known for quality, would allow this.

Simply sent a small coupon. I Hate that I’m going to have to use Duct Tape on this beautiful wallet!!! DUCT tape on a Vera Bradley!!! Well, different colors of duct tape now available!.

I bought one of these for a Europe trip four years ago but on our last stop I set it on a table with a candle and accidentally burned a big hole in it. I did a ton of research before my trip to Europe last month because I thought there might be something I liked better.

But I ended up choosing another one of these bags and I still loved it. I prefer a cross-body over a backpack because it’s so much easier to access my phone/water bottle/museum map. I also prefer to keep my water bottle on the outside of my bag because sometimes I don’t screw the lid on as tigthly as I should.

This bag has two big outside pockets for a water bottle and an umbrella. The inside is bright fabric, so it’s easy to see everything on the inside. It roomy but not too big. The outside pockets are handy and I especially like the locks to keep everything out of the hands of pickpockets.

It felt nice being on a packed subway, knowing my bag was OK.

I really love this purse. Saw it on other websites at higher costs. So glad Target had it! Buying purses online is not easy. It’s hard to see the quality and really know the size. d I was afraid this may be smaller than I needed, but it is a great size.

So glad it is not bigger. Great features for traveling – especially in today’s hacking/theft ID world. All pockets zip and attach to purse. From the picture I did not realize that the back pocket also has zipper that attaches – it just didn’t show on the picture.

It holds everything I need for traveling and I prefer crossbody bags to shoulder straps. I ordered it in Red Winer color and love it. It looks very rich. Five days after I ordered it I received an update that there was a shipping error and the received date was extended – unfortunately it would not arrive until e days after we left for our trip.

I called Target and had great customer service and they arranged for a second purse to be sent with expedited shipping. I received it in time for the trip. I will simply return the second purse to our Target store.

I have carried Travelon Anti-theft purses daily for the last 5 years. I have eight of them in a variety of styles. I normally carry a Travelon Signature Slim Pouch when I travel but for upcoming trips to Las Vegas and Florida I decided I would like a bag just a little bit bigger.

I always buy my Travelon bags from Ebags so I decided to check the website and see what I could find. After comparing several different bags I decided on the Travelon Anti-theft Classic E/W Crossbody bag.

I received the bag today and I’m very happy with it. It is the perfect size for my needs. I purchased the black and it’s a very nice looking bag. It’s big enough without being too big. It will hold my wallet, passport, phone, small makeup case and still have room for other items I might need.

I’ve never had an issue with any of my Travelon bags and I don’t expect any with this bag. Also, I want to add that I have been ordering merchandise from Ebags for 12 years and I’m very happy with their service and products.

I wanted a travel bag that would hold my “stuff” (and let’s face it – my husband’s, too), would be hands free and secure on my shoulder, and would have anti-theft features. This bag meets those needs very well.

I have been able to fit quite a lot into this bag (though I purposely try to keep the items to a bare minimum), and I love the fact that it has so many compartments, which keeps it organized. Also, the mesh “wings” on the side will open to hold two water bottles, but zip closed when not in use and are barely noticeable.

The fabric is super durable and the strap is comfortable and adjustable. Another reviewer commented that the bag is not attractive. This bag was created to be functional, durable and anti-theft above attractiveness.

If you want a crossbody to wear on a short shopping trip or to lunch or dinner, Dooney & Bourke has plenty of cute bags. If, however, you are looking for a crossbody to take on a trip to the zoo or amusement park or camping or through airports, this Travelon is perfect.

I bought this purse a couple of years ago when it was offered and gave it to my youngest daughter because she liked it so much. This one is for me. It has more than enough room inside. RIFD large zip inside pocket across from two roomy pouch pockets and one in between for a pen.

A large zip pocket across the back and the locking front zip pocket. The top zips and and locks as well. Also inside there’s a powerful little flashlight (if needed) on a fastener to secure your keys.

Over all I am more than pleased with this purchase. I plan for it will be my everyday handbag and would definitely recommend to others.

This is a great bag! Well made, nice security features and a sophisticated design! Nice fabric with nice lining that feels quite luxe. I am 59 and liked the longer length of the adjustable crossbody strapit gave me enough to adjust it to the right length and then some.

The first bag received had a small manufacturing defect, and eBags couldn’t have a better exchange process. They responded to my request quickly, sent an email immediately with a prepaid return label, and sent the replacement out by 2nd day air before I even dropped the first one off at UPS! It is a great bag from a great customer focused company.

Keep up the good work eBags!.

Item was the same as imaged in terms of color. The material was given as 55% cotton/45% polyester blend and was Made in China. The bottom of the inside lining was loose, so a bit of adjusting was needed to make it sit properly at the base.

The pin striping color was that of black and vanilla yellow. There was a good amount of heft to the bag and the material felt sturdy. A slight scent was noticed upon opening the item, but after airing it out, it seemed fine.

Overall, this bag was one that I have been looking for a long time.

First I was shipped the wrong item & had to send it back then wait for the right bag. Unfortunately, it didn’t arrive before my vacation. I did use it at a local theme park though and it worked well.

It is roomy while not too big or bulky. It has several pockets to keep my stuff separate. I wanted something that I could carry a water bottle in & this works. The canvas is nice & durable but not too thick or heavy.

It comes with two straps. I choose to wear it crossbody with the longer strap. I will be using this bag while I’m out & about with my children and I’ll give it a try during an upcoming international trip.

Great work bag. I was using a regular tote bag and it finally gave out and I felt the need to do a better nice and study investment on a work bag and I found it with this Travelon Tote. It study and ha plenty of pockets and what I love is all the extra security feature the bag has with the zippers.

Living in a city and taking public transpiration is can be that added security you needed when you are in a train/Bus full of people with not so good intentions. Great bag for everyday use or for travel you choose!.

The size is great. It holds everything I need without being too large. The water bottle holder is a nice feature to have. I wish there were more slots for cards. I ended up putting them in a zippered compartment, which works fine.

I love all of the security features and am excited to use this for travel.

Bag is a darker taupe than images which is great, hopefully will not show dirt easily. Bag has a zippered pocket on the front in which to secure small valuables and of course a larger opening which can hold an IPad.

I read an earlier review where the customer felt the crossbody strap fit too close to his collar. I found the strap adjusted enough to be a comfortable fit. The bottle holder seems rather narrow. Overall appears to be a nice bag, I look forward to traveling with it.

I’m giving a rating of 4 because of the bottle holder.

I just returned from a trip to France and my old crossbody bag just wore me out. It was way too heavy (it is made of leather). So, when I say this one, I decided to try it. All my other smaller crossbodies are just a tad too small, so this one intrigued me.

I was not wrong. My large wallet fits into this easily so I no longer have to change out wallets when I am traveling. It is extremely well made and very light in and of itself. Thank God I noticed this in the catalog – I hope they never stop making this model because I’ll be back for another when mine wears out.

This small, lightweight shoulder bag suits my day-to-day carrying needs quite well, but for me it’s too small for serious travel, especially abroad when I carry more stuff. Typically it holds my sunglasses, an ultra small collapsible umbrella, iPhone or sometimes iPad Mini, earbuds, hand sanitizer, sunblock, two pens, and various paper and plastic cards.

These all fit comfortably, with ready access, but take care not to stuff too much in, as the bag then bulges, hangs awkwardly and looks uncool. This black, three-compartment bag for unisex use is simple and functional in design.

Its smooth fabric is rather slippery to handle, and when worn across the chest can slide a bit under your arm while walking. The security features are reassuring when traveling in unfamiliar or crowded places, especially the latches on the two main zippers that thwart pickpockets by preventing rapid opening with one hand.

My only issue is that the zipper of the secondary (and most used) compartment doesn’t go all the way down, thus preventing the flap from opening wide. This make it slightly harder to locate and remove any given article within.

This was a minor annoyance at first, but I have adjusted to it by keeping each item in the same internal slot.

Just received my bag and it is absolutely beautiful! I opted for all of the extra options and I’m really glad I did. The exterior pockets are perfect for my phone and a mask. \nThe leather quality is very high and all of the sticking and zippers seem to be as well.

The color is absolutely beautiful and I can’t wait for the leather to age a bit. \n\nDue to covid and USPS it took almost three months to get here (Nothing Sandra could have done. my bag was shipped from her within 5 days).

Sandra responded quickly to all of my worried question about it’s arrival time and was up to date on the newest shipping delays.

I absolutely LOVE my bag. I have been on a quest for the perfect bag for most of my life, and in my later years, have found it with Sanumi Leather. I purchased a small gray (is a very nice taupey dove gray) handbag with short 4.

1” handles, crossbody strap, front pockets, top zipper and inside zipped pocket. It has more than enough room for my things, and then some. Leather is beautiful and substantial with a lovely finish. I did treat to protect it, which brought out its taupe shade more.

It is perfect! I looked at this bag for about 1-1/2 yrs before actually buying. Would not normally purchase an item like this online or from overseas, in case it was not what I expected. This is what I hoped for, and so much more! Sandra is a dream to work with.

So glad I found her and her fabulous bags! LOVE, LOVE, LOVE my new bag!!!!.

LOVE this bag! The leather is super thick and the front pockets are nice and deep, but not too tight – things easily slide in and out (like a phone, or lipgloss). It smells deliciously of quality leather.

The main handles are long enough that I can easily pick it up with one hand and get it onto my shoulder without my elbow getting stuck (and doesn’t require two hands). The grommets on the outside that the long strap attaches to are super solid and smartly placed in enough from the seam that I know they’ll never break the leather under the weight of the bag! I’m mostly using this as a work bag, but it could easily be a baby bag as well.

Absolutely love it! If I had to offer any improvements the only thing would be that a bag at this price point should have little metal pegs on the bottom to protect it when put down.

Love my new Zoe Crossbody RFID Hobo. Big enough to put all essentials in for carrying on plane and being cross-body leaves hands free. Zip pocket at back and small stud pocket at front for slipping in phone, passport etc, those things that you need to keep producing when checking in at airports etc.

Main bag is two zippered pockets with more internal pockets to store items and retrieve them easily. The perfect travel bag but best of all, it’s a vegan product! Also the packaging is eco-friendly with plastic packaging made from plant material and can be put in compost bin to breakdown thus no plastic waste.

Thank you Zoomlite!.

The ordering process was easy & delivery prompt. I bought the “Zoe” as a part Christmas present for my wife & as such the package hasn’t been opened for inspection yet. I have made purchases from Zoomlite previously & have been delighted each time & would hope the same applies with this item.

I did consult with my wife before making this purchase. On face value it would appear she will again be very pleased with this Zoomlite product & be able to incorporate it’s use as part of her travel & everyday needs.

Firstly I am very impressed with your speed of service; I ordered this bag on Thursday 5/12 & received it in Perth on Monday 9/12. Excellent! Now to the bag itself. I’ve bought this to use on a trip next year so haven’t used it yet.

But I’m very impressed with the size of it – I can see that it will carry everything I need when I’m out & about sightseeing. The security features are good & the crossbody strap is nice & sturdy. There are a good amount of pockets for storing phone, keys, pens etc so they can be easily found.

Really happy with my purchase.

When I first got this bag, I was a bit skeptical. But I think this one of the purses I have every bought. The cost was not an issue. I just wanted space to carry what I needed. And it came thru great.

So for anybody who has tons of stuff stuffed in some kind of bag. This will be a great purse. I would recommend it to anyone.

I prefer to keep my purse over my shoulder all the time. I never put it in a grocery cart or lay it down to look at other merchandise. Therefore, with it hanging across my body is the best and the length of the shoulder strap is very comfortable.

Love the brown color and the many zipper compartments. Thanks.

This is the second RFIDBlocking Protection Handbag that I’ve bought. They are excellent for travel! The handbag has lots of compartments, but it’s still lightweight. You can use it as a cross body handbag or just over your shoulder.

It’s amazing how much can fit into this bag!.

Well, I already have this purse and I beat it up pretty bad. I am going to Italy next week, so I bought another one same exact bag its perfect. They also have one that is a little bit bigger, but it is just that much too big I do not need to carry a water bottle around and whatever else that was involved.

I know that hell, I bought it and I ended up giving it to a friend of mine she loved it I didnt. This bag is the perfect travel size, and you can buy a small umbrella if its right inside. I find if a bag is too big you just load it down with useless stuff.

I like the fact that It has the locks, that way you know you can feel confident carrying the bag and nobody will be trying to unzip it and get into your purse. I highly recommend it.

I just received this bag and also own the Kipling A293881. I thought the Kipling bag was a bit big so I ordered this 1. This is just slightly too small4 my needs. I prefer to carry a wallet and of course this makes bag a little heavy.

But i like the locking zippers 2 n front and 1 on back (doesn’t lock). I hope this bag will last me longer than my last Travelon, where the zipper broke. It was a curved zipper and I wonder if that made a difference in its lifespan.

This 1 has straight zippers so Im keeping fingers crossed. The kipling bag is lighter, this Travelon is heavier.

I like the bag very much. I like the color and I like the different products. I haven’t used it yet but look forward to doing so in the spring. I really like the way it looks and it is sturdy. I would have preferred a leather bag but the price of this bag sold me on it.

I can’t think of anything I don’t like about it. It is also quite light which I like too.

I have the Classic Mini Crossbody Tote in Kiwi and adore it! I was not looking for a new bag, but saw a PLG ad in my email. I usually delete ads, but opened the PLG ad. Best decision! I loved the MCT in Kiwi the moment I saw it.

I normally would never buy a bag without trying it on, especially from an unfamiliar brand. I read all 4000+(at the time) reviews. When I opened the box, uncovered the tissue wrapping, and held the bag, I immediately understood the 4.

9 rating this bag consistently and enthusiastically scores every day. The color was true to the website, the leather supple and well cut, the stitching, even and appropriately hued to the leather color.

I appreciate the sturdy hardware(great place to hang keys, with or without a carabiner)and strap. I like the flexibility of carrying the bag across my body or in my hand or arm. Kudos to PLG for offering strap extensions, a variety of “small goods” to hold small loose items like lip balm, keys, hand sanitizer, the choice of classic snap closure or zipper, and a lovely palette of colors.

I look forward to seeing future color offerings. I appreciate PLG’s time and effort to present different views of the bag, with varying models, showing the classic snap style as well as the zippered style in all the various colors.

Some of the photos show the bags filled and there is a page showing what items fit inside the bag so one can decide “mini” vs “medium”. The process of ordering, paying, and tracking one’s order was organized, efficient, and informative.

The format of the subsequent emails was easy to read and the information clearly stated. The biggest compliment? As soon as my 19yo daughter saw my Kiwi Mini Crossbody Tote, she squished it, exclaimed over it’s softness, adjusted the strap, draped it over herself, poked inside the exterior pocket & interior of the bag, pronounced it “absolutely me!” and asked if she may have one- in Kiwi of course!.

Was looking for a large tote for small handbag, folders and binders for work stuff, and compartments for ID, hand sanitizer, meds, etc. This bag is certainly large enough for all that. There is one pouch inside, only attached at the corners at the top, so easy to think you put something in it and have it go all the way to the bottom, if you miss the pocket.

The front pouch is great for a cell phone and keys, easy and large enough to access. But, also large enough and easy to access for others if you’re not watching your bag, so be careful about using it in the stores or crowded areas like a bus or elevator.

The zipper is a smaller thin zipper, a bit rough to close and open. Will try some wax on it to see if that helps. If not zipped, snagged my sweaters really good. So, be aware of that issue. Definitely alot of high grade leather for the money, but there is no lining inside.

Which leaves it as a rustic type of bag. I have decided to keep a plastic grocery bag inside for my food items and coffee thermos, just in case of slight spillage. And I believe I will adopt using a makeup bag for small items such as meds, hand sanitizer, chapstick, etc.

just so they are not lost in the little pouch inside and left to roll around inside. For organization sake, this bag doesn’t have it already installed. But, for the size, it does work. The straps are still an issue for me, slide off the shoulders easily.

Not sure if thinner or thicker straps or a lining or wrap with a snap would have made it more user friendly in that manner. I walk with a cane, so I need to be able to carry the bag over my shoulder and have it stay there.

If you hand carry or just over the arm at the elbow, it works fine for that. The straps are roomy enough to wear over the shoulder, and tuck under the arm for security. The straps just don’t stay put unless the bag is pretty weighted down.

Top to bottom eval after a week’s use going to work and back with binders and folders for work and lunches.

I tried really hard to be a good daughter this year. I’d been keeping an eye out for a good Mother’s Day gift since March, but nothing was catching my eye. Next thing I knew, I had 4 days left to find a gift and send it to my mom.

I was dismayed that my choices would end up being some crap from Amazon or flowers, especially after trying so hard to find the perfect gift. In a last-minute search, I found this bag on my mom’s Pinterest page from 2 years ago.

I knew it was out of my price range, but I clicked the link because it was just so dang pretty. Lo and behold, they were having some crazy super sale, and this bag that I could have sworn was $350 was suddenly in my price range, and barely over my budgeted gift amount after shipping! I ordered the tote bag, sending directly to my Mom’s address.

I figured that the beauty of the gift would excuse it being a few days late. The order said I would be notified when it shipped out (4-9 business days), and I emailed customer service asking that it included a gift receipt if possible since I wasn’t able to choose that as an option.

I placed the order Wednesday evening, I think. I kept checking my email for shipping confirmation the rest of the week, hoping it wouldn’t take the entire 9 business days and arrive more than a week after Mother’s Day.

I was getting nervous that it hadn’t even shipped yet. On Saturday morning, I received a shipping notification, and the bag was already out on the truck for delivery! I finally got a response email on Monday about my request for a gift receipt… Portland Leather hadn’t been dragging their heels or ignoring me at all – the had been busting their a$$e$ fulfilling all of their orders and getting them shipped to arrive before Mother’s Day! Additionally, they wrote back that my concern about having costs printed on the receipt were for naught, because they don’t include that info in the shipment.

They were on top of it all, without me even having to ask. I was able to watch my mom’s jaw drop (via video chat) when she opened her gift on Mother’s Day morning. She says, “ I LOVE LOVE LOVE the bag!”.

Thank you, Portland Leather, for not only making gorgeous, quality, unique tote bags, but also for making me the favorite child this year! Now to order one for myself….

I love love love this bag, mine is tan or a mustard color, and black. I love the long strap, I love the short strap, there’s nothing bad that I can say about this bag, it’s awesome. I’ve been caring it since I got it.

My husband and son gifted me at Christmas I absolutely love it. Looking forward to purchasing another one soon. I say yes to this bag. It’s classy, sophisticated, casual, and fun💕.

I originally bought this tote bag for work and it has outdone itself. I carry a lot of large files to and from my office and this bag has more than enough room for all my files and then some. I love the zipper for the large enclosure.

My favorite part is the extra thick shoulder strap, which makes it far better than any work bag I’ve used. The more I use this bag the more I love it. Thank you Rothy’s for another fabulous piece.

I love this bag! I bought it for a work tote. I can fit my laptop, iPad, 2 large water bottles, umbrella, lunch tote and so much more! The strap is doubled up and extra thick. I love how tight the weave is.

Would highly recommend!.

Shipping took a while – nearly 3 weeks, but when the bag arrived, it was beautifully packaged. The leather is soft and smells good. I love all the pockets and places to put things and from the ads, the bag seemed plenty big (same size as my old bag), but when I started putting my stuff in, I realized the pockets have no real width or give to them.

They’re great for thin, flat things (like checkbooks, credit cards, phone), but anything bulky (like sunglasses, compacts, or several keys on keyrings) bulge through the leather since it doesn’t have a wide enough space and then the pockets that simply snap are less likely to come together because there are too many bulky items.

Instead of so many individual pockets, I think at least two could have been combined to make one larger pocket for bulkier items. I think I would also prefer that the credit cards be in a zippered pocket instead of a snap pocket that could easily be opened and pickpocketed.

After paying this much for a bag, I’ll make it work though.

I have been looking for a bag that is on the smaller side but can still carry my essentials and look nice enough that I don’t have to change it all the time. I found this beauty! It holds all of my things and in a very organized way.

I love that I don’t need a separate wallet. That helps keep it lighter and more convenient. The leather is absolutely beautiful and the lining is also high quality with one section having a very soft inner lining.

It came with the usual natural leather smell. It wasn’t too powerful but it was there. Personally, I like that smell but for those who don’t I just want to make you aware. I would highly recommend this bag and this company.

I will probably be purchasing another.

I have been searching for a lonnnnnng time trying to find a decent sized crossbody, not too big but a little bigger than you usually find, with lots of organization. This fits the bill. It is fantastic so I immediately ordered a second one in another color.

The only thing I would add is a slip pocket on the outside for my cell phone. But still great! This is also one of the least expensive leather purses I have purchased so that was great, too. I also loved spreading things out a bit more to make pockets less bulky.

Usually purses have 1 large cavity with 2 slip pockets and 1 zippered pocket. I love all the extra room. I couldn’t even fill it all up. But I don’t like lugging around a whole lot os stuff either. It is perfect.
