Alessandra Handbag

I've watched this purse a couple months and waited to buy when he price went down. It's super cute... At first I wasn't fond of the color but it really pops. The material is not leather and I'm worried that the straps will not last a long time because I fill my purse full of junk. But, if you're a light purse-packer, this will work fine for you. The straps are comfortable - you can carry as a crossbody (LOVE THIS!!!) or use the 2 handles to carry it. I love having both to choose from. A crossbody bag is perfect for winter when you have to carry stuff or watch where you're walking on snow & ice. The 2 pockets on the front close by a buckle so they are not easily accessible. I hate mentioning that only because some of you may decide not to buy it because of that... It's cheap, buy it anyway!!! Also, this material had a strong plastic smell to it that ticked me off at first. So, on the advice of my mother in law, I put small vanilla votive candles in each pocket then I threw it in the trunk of my car for a couple days. The smell is either gone now or I don't notice it anymore. ha ha... There's a pocket on the inside that is padded so you can carry a small laptop or an ipad and not mess it up. Great bag.

I bought this bag because I was looking for a large handbag that could hold all of the junk that I normally carry around in my pocketbook. When it came in, it was a great size and a beautiful blue color. The main problem I have with this bag is that the inside is an animal print. It contrasts with the bag horribly. Some girls might like this as a bonus fashion statement, but I really did not enjoy it. It did not stop me from using the bag, and I got used to seeing the animal print every time I opened it.Other reviewers have stated that the bag is flimsy and cannot carry weight. I personally would never carry something expensive like a camera in a bag that was not rated for such. This bag is holding up fine to the wallet, planner, calendar, and loads of other junk that I find necessary to carry with me at all times. It is especially good for the price. I would not expect a bag under $10 to carry the weight of a bowling ball, but it seems to be working well for a purse.

The bag is spacious, however, there are two random padded squares of material with velcro included along with velcro on the walls of the bag. I'm not sure if they intended these to be pockets or what (if so, why not just make pockets). There is also a divider between the two halves of the bag, this tends to get caught in the zipper. I also would have liked it more if the two pockets on the front of the bag had snap closures. It is not practical to have to undo a buckle every time you want something out of a pocket. I was looking for a large purse with a cross-body strap and this bag fits that criteria at an affordable price.

I really like this purse. it's big, and it has lots of space to put the random stuff I carry around or put in my purse throughout the day. previous reviews have said the straps looked weak, but I don't think they do. They look the same as all the other purses I've owned. The only issues I have were that it showed up really dirty (long streaks on the back, some sort of ink stain). I also am not 100% sure how I'm supposed to make pockets out of the awkward padded velcro things... But that's not a big deal. Will probably use it for school.

I love this bag! It is nice and roomy, I like the long strap and the short handles make it easy to use as a purseller also. The outide of the bag is easy to clean and very durable . I use everyday. The price was very affordable.

It is a very cute bag and has a lot of room. I was excited when I got it and looked inside to see that the interior is cheetah print! Sadly though, I should have listened to the reviews. It lasted a couple weeks and now the front of the bag ripped underneath the zipper and the straps are starting to break even though I took extra special care of it due to the warnings people gave of it ripping easily.

Bag arrived early, that's a good thing! Roomie as posted. The only thing about this order was no bill of sale or return form in the box. I like to keep copies for future purchases

This bag was perfect in (vibrant teal) color (though I wasn't expecting the cheetah print interior - I'm not big on animal prints, but was able to get past that), and the compartments and overall size were great. I've had it for a few months, and noticed that at all handle points - the one strap as well as the two side ones - all of them are coming apart. I really liked the way this slung over my shoulder and was easy access to get at my things, so I did a sew job patch to try to extend the longevity of the bag. Ultimately, that gave me about another week. Really disappointed I didn't get more out of it, but for the price, I can't be too upset. Mostly disappointed because I really liked the bag, and I'm not really a bag type girl.
