"I love this bag! I had the los feliz hobo for my winter purse and debated between getting another one in crochet or this model. I made the right choice, this purse is perfect for summer! Big enough to be a "mom bag" but lightweight and the strap isn't too thin to where it digs into my shoulder. I also love the loop on the front for my bag charms and how adjustable the strap is! I can fit 3 water bottles in her and still have room for my kindle, phone, cosmetics bag, hair clips etc etc. 10/10"

Reviews
Love love love this bag!!
"Love love love this bag!! The leather is so soft. And the bag is so lightweight. And for its size, it holds a ton of stuff! So happy I decided to purchase from Sak. You definitely get more for your money- Compared to other brands! I will definitely buy again! Thank you Sak ♥️"
"I like the size and look of the bag, but because the outside is straw, it is already starting to look like it is coming apart in places. I'm probably not going to buy another straw purse. I would have expected a purse that costs $130 from SAK to be of better quality."
Beautiful and well made
"Beautiful bag. While it says it's a shoulder bag it's actually not quite that. It fits neatly under your armpit. I'm not used to purses that aren't black or navy so this was a departure for me. I do like it but I don't grab it as often as my black or navy purse."
I love this bag! I
"I love this bag! I was looking for a neutral shoulder bag and this is perfect. It's not too large to look bulky but big enough to hold everything I need. I love the color and think it will go with everything."
I absolutely love this shoulder
"I absolutely love this shoulder bag. The leather is soft and excellent quality. The stone color will be a wonderful neutral for spring and summer. The style is so cute and the purse is roomier than I thought it would be and that was a pleasant surprise! I love all of my Sak handbags."
A beautiful leather bag. Perfect
"A beautiful leather bag. Perfect size and I love the adjustable shoulder straps."
Perfect everyday bag
"Love her! She’s the perfect size and great for an everyday bag. The leather is soft and so it gives the slouchy look."
I really like the size
"I really like the size and leather quality. It is very lightweight, which I like. The zipper is okay, I think it could be better quality, because it occasionally hangs. And I wish it had an outside slip pocket for my phone. I’m carrying it daily and overall, I like it."
"I am so pleased this is a very beautiful bag. Soft leather and plemty of room."
