I received this bag a few months ago as a gift. It's a very pretty bag - but should be mentioned it's a bit heavy. Well, the handles of the bag are attached by a decorative screw. The screw came apart and fell off. The bag is useless now since the strap is no longer attached. I called the company's customer service and was told they didn't have the screw - or any for that matter. I then received an email suggesting I go to a hardware store. Um, that would be fine but I don't know where I would find a decorative custome silver screw in a hardware store. I then called for a manager. I was told - "this will never be resolved to your satisfaction since we do not warranty our bags". I was speechless. I didn't spend $45 on this bag! It was only 3 months old for goodness sake! So I am stuck with it. Customer service is not in their vocabulary - be warned

Wow. That's the first word that comes to mind with this bag. I just received the rose and I'm extremely pleased. The leather is soft and supple. The chains do make it slightly heavy, but I really don't mind it. The pocket for cell phones is sleek and easy to get into and the side/front pockets are really cool - I hate zippers on outside pockets, but these close nicely and don't gape open.

The inside is very roomy with a nice secure center pocket. The magnetic closure is quite strong without being a pain to open.

All in all I say this beautifully made bag is a winner!

I love this purse. The price is good, relatively speaking. It's not too heavy or large for comfortable about-town business. It has a zip interior pocket, magnetic snap closure, two compartments. It's a very quality purse, without paying for a big name such as Coach or Lamb! The lining is a chic animal print.

I returned the bag...the bag was not the creamy sand color in the photo or I would not have returned it. It was a drab grayed/taupe/beige...yuck color. The bag otherwise WAS very heavy with the chains and monogram, but I still think I would have kept it if the color was as shown.

I Love B. MAKOWSKY Bags. I bought this bag and It was better then I thought. The detail is so nice in this bag with pockets that fold in just enough so that what you put in doesn't fall out. I love detail

Beautiful handbag -- the leather quality and the color (silver) is absolutely gorgeous. The things I couldn't get over were the facts that the leather and hardware make the bag extremely heavy and that the dimensions make the bag sound like a "medium" sized bag...when in reality, it's BIG!! You can stuff this with loads of stuff and it's just too big for my 5'2" frame -- the strap length was too long for me as well. The bag's pockets are very clever and you'd definitely stay organized with this one, but it was just too big and heavy for my taste. I'll keep looking for the right silver bag for me.

This purse looks like one that you see movie stars use. I get so many complements on it. It has so many great pockets, nothing gets lost or tossed around anymore. Awesome soft leather. Goes with dresses or with jeans and a t-shirt. Very well made. I love this designer and will be back for more.

I agree with the other reviewers, WOW - this bag has it all. Very classy and cute with plenty of room inside. I think another reviewer mentioned that it is a bit heavy with the chain straps, and it is...but it is also durable and Im guessing they will withstand the test of time! Very cool purse! I got it in silver, but want the bronze as well!

i saw this bag a month or two ago and it stopped me dead in my tracks...because it's pricey (by my definition) i decided to think about it and didn't buy it right away...naturally when i decided to get it , i couldn't find it anywhere in the light blue except thru Amazon :)
anyway now that i have it i'm happy i ponied up the dough...i love the light blue-it's a very soft color that makes me happy (most of my stuff is black) and the textured leather/chain link straps give it a subtle edgy quality that i like...it's easy to organize and deep enough to fit a book, small notepad, umbrella etc.

a few things i don't like:
*i wish the straps were just a little bit longer--it throws over my shoulder ok but to get anything out of it i have to slip it to my elbow or contort my shoulder--not a big deal but kind of annoying...if you're short-waisted you'll have a better fit.
*it's heavier than i'd like when filled (i took off the heavy keychain)but that's typical of any quality leather bag, and i could carry less crap around :)

i've only been using it for a week but so far i'm happy w/it and i'd buy it again. in my opinion not a good choice for travelling but a nice day-to-day bag.

I just recieved my B. Makowsky purse today in Black, and I could not be more happy. This is the best purse I've purchased in a long time. The size is perfect and the leather is so soft. The quality of this bag is superb, and the style is so chic. The pictures just don't do it justice. It has just the right amount of compartments for everything I need and for such a great quality bag the price is phenomenal. I absolutely love this bag. Infact, I'm buying another one today in a different color!
