Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

Fine, supple leather and drawn exterior pockets make B. Makowsky's Berkeley shopper a prime example of casually chic style. The divided, pocketed interior and attached key clip also add effective organization.

From the Manufacturer

Bruce Makowsky is not a newcomer to the industry by any means. He ran his own handbag company and was president of a major corporation where he developed the company into a $200 million business along with the design inspiration of his wife Kathy (of Kathy Van Zeeland fame). B. Makowsky handbags are defined by a signature leather tassel in addition to chunky satin-finished hardware and signature paisley lining. Zippers and pockets create function without bulk. Colors include simple blacks, browns and ivory with pops of fresh colors such as red, denim, saffron and tangerine.

I like the purse, don't get me wrong, however....I think the straps should be longer and maybe the bottom of the purse should be harder so it stands up better. Overall, it was smaller than I would have liked but the leather is absolutely gorgeous! I will be ordering another Makowsky bag in the future.

3.0 out of 5 stars Lacks a bit of Fit and Finish, September 6, 2010

There are certain aspects of this bag that I love and others that I'm not so crazy about. I ordered this in Midnight - a pretty navy blue. The leather is great quality with a nice feel, and I suspect it would wear quite well. Makowsky bags are also very well designed in terms of functionality; the pockets are well placed, and I loved how easily accessible my keys and phone always are. However, the proportions of this bag just don't work for me. The bag is small-medium in size (though it holds a decent amount), and I found the two straps to be too thick and look disproportionate to the size of the bag. I didn't think they sat very well on my shoulder and gave the bag a cheaper appearance. I think a single strap would be much more appropriate for a bag of this size. Additionally, the bottom of the bag should have more structure, as the bag sags when you put heavier items on the bottom, exposing the circular stitching on the bottom of the bag. And the animal print lining - not my taste. Overall, this bag is made of high quality material and is quite functional, but in my opinion fit and finish are in the details, and there are just a few elements here that needed a little more thought.

This is one of several Makowsky puses that I have purchased. I really love the quality of the purses.
