"I love the Sak crocheted bag that I purchased. I hadn’t owned one in years. It is the perfect size and so versatile. I was happily surprised that a side pocket holds my whole phone without it sticking out of the top! And there’s room for my Kindle when I need it. Very happy with my purchase."
"I really like this straw bag. I’ve been looking for a while for a summer purse. It is just the right size for me, is light weight, pretty with the straw flowers and brown shoulder strap and trim, and it has a compartment with a zipper for my phone. I’m very please with my summer bag that was on sale. I hope it holds up."
"A very attractive purse with a sleek, simple design and a very practical arrangement of open and zippered pockets. The tassle is a nice touch."
"Love the bag. It looks great and can be over the shoulder or crossbody. I the only reason I’m giving it 4 not 5 stars is I wish it were a tad wider it had a bit more give"
"This is so cute for my summer purse. Smallish size but holds all the important things. I have many Sak purses, just love the brand."
"This purse is a big small purse and i love it! It fits all my stuff eothout jamming it in. I shortened the strap to make it a shoulder bag. The strap is wide and stays put so well."
"I am so pleased with this crossbody bag. It is the perfect size to hold my wallet, cosmetic bag, cellphone and even a small bottle of water. The outside zipper pocke is perfect for my keys and the other outside pocket with magnetic closure holds mt iPhone for easy access. The leather is exceptional quality. I plan to get another one in a darker color for winter."
"Love-Love these Melrose Crossbody bags! They are just the right size for all my essentials! Was surprised at how cute the bamboo medallion is with the silver backing!"
"Perfect purse for me. Soft leather, stylish, large snap pocket on outside and smaller zip pocket on other side. Roomy inside with one zip pocket and two other open pockets. Love this pocketbook!"
"The color of this purse and the heart-shaped tassel caught my attention. I wasn't sure how functional this size would work for me. This purse is lightweight and surprisingly roomy. I typically prefer larger bags, but sometimes I need something smaller. After checking the dimensions, I decided to give it a try. This purse is lightweight and surprisingly roomy. I love the color and the heart-shaped tassel!"
