"I love that this bag isn't too big, but can fit my phone, wallet, and cosmetics bag in it. There are two outside compartments, one with a zipper. Inside there are two open pockets and another one with a zipper. The different compartments make it easy to find everything. The neutral color goes with everything. Just what I was looking for."
"I love this bag. It’s a perfect size and I love all the compartments for easy access to store my phone and keys without having to dig through the bag. I also get a lot of compliments on it."
"I absolutely love this purse!!! It’s so soft and it’s the perfect size. I’m 100% happy 😊"
"I love this bag! My first thought after seeing how nice it was, to say I need to return it. However I decided to keep it as it is a beautiful bag. It’s a bit too small for all my allergy meds, wallet and girly things. No makeup included. I was expecting the front pocket to open the length of the bag so it would fit my appointment book. It did not so I’m looking for another bag again. This one will be great for going on a cruise where I won’t need a huge amount of keys or other items from home. I have shoulder injuries so was trying to lighten my load but I may have to go back to a bigger bag to be able to fit my appt book in an outside pocket."
"Beautiful purse! Perfect size for summer travel!"
"Love my Melrose bag! It is the perfect size crossbody. You can carry what you need in a very organized fashion. The bag itself is very lightweight. Great bag!"
"I love the color and the size! Like all Sak products, it’s really well made. The strap is comfortable. Perfect for traveling."
"Perfect size for my needs. It is made well, I like the outside pockets- a smaller one that zips and a drop in one for phone and glasses. This shade is lighter than what it looks like on my computer but I wanted an all season bag and this will work for me. I do wish the main zipper tassel was configured better with a bigger ring and tassel."
"Perfect size and length for a crossbody. Fits my needs exactly"
"Beautiful, perfect size not too small and not too big. Love this purse. Love The Sak purses. They are the only purse I use."
