"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."
Love the size of this
"Love the size of this purse it’s just the right size for my everyday errands . It’s also light to carry. Also love the leather and the color. This is my third purchase from this company and I highly recommend it."
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."
Very nice bag
"Well made purse. Too small for what I am used to but am adjusting to it. The straps are very hard to adjust so that is why I gave it 4 stars."
first i was skeptical if
"first i was skeptical if the belt will stay on the shoulder. it does stay. the small size is very convenient to carry for daily use. I am glad that i got it."
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 really like Sak products.
"I really like Sak products. This purse is a tad smaller than I thought but great quality and I'm enjoying using it"
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."
