This is my first amazon review simply because I am so unhappy with the previous comments. I almost did not purchase this bag because the other reviews say it is "too big" that is simply not true. I fell in love the second I opened the box. It was very carefully packaged with every inch of it covered in multiple strips of protective plastic.

I transfered my laptop, power cords, blackberry, and notebook...and the bag was nearly full. This is definitely not a "weekender" bag, unless you pack lightly. I would consider this an "overnight" bag, yes. I love this bag and plan to purchase more colors. The dark brown is divine and I am thinking of purchasing another color for when I travel, like red so it does not look like everyone else's luggage.

Again, I say...if you carry a laptop to and from work (school) everyday and have corresponding power, notebook, and other small essentials then this is the perfect bag for your needs. I was able to put in all the essentials, my small purse and a small tupperware for lunch...I am super happy with this purchase and plan to buy at least ONE more color to add to my collection.

I was searching for a classic looking handbag, preferably leather, that I could use for an upcoming overseas trip. I was looking for something a little bit bigger than my current purse - large enough for all my travel essentials, but not so big that it would overwhelm my 5'2" frame. After typing 'leather handbag' into the Amazon search box, I stumbled across the Arizzo Handbag. It seemed to be exactly what I was looking for. Upon receiving the handbag this morning, I was a little disappointed that it was not leather, but rather nylon with what appear to be faux leather handles. Also, there is no way most people would consider this a handbag - it's HUGE. Definitely more like an overnight bag than a handbag. I chose the 'tan' color, which is a shade or two darker than it appears on screen, but still lovely in person. So while this is not exactly what I was looking for, I am probably going to keep it and use it for our upcoming trip - but as carry-on luggage and not as my purse!

PROS:
-Great price
-Classic look
-Quality construction
-LOTS of room for all your travel essentials

CONS:
-Not leather
-Too big to be used as a handbag :(

Love this bag. Can fit everything and the kitchen sink. Great for carrying books, laptop, etc. Handy overnight bag because it fits clothes, toiletries, hair straightener, blow dryer, and anything else you might need. Even works as a gym bag because it can fit sneakers and such. Water does not soak through so your stuff stays dry on rainy days. The ability to close the bag by zipper and/or the clip is my favorite because you can carry it around using just the clip to keep it close without worrying about putting it down and having everything fall out. Only complaint someone could have is that it does not stand up on its own when you set it down. Extremely versatile bag worth every penny!!!

I'm a very cautious buyer. Every single thing I buy is the result of heavy researching and review reading. Well this bag had me contemplating for a little over 2 weeks. Every day, I came and read all the reviews again; staring at the bag and finding multiple reasons not to buy it. Reasons such as "theres no elaborate pictures of the bag. no pictures of the back or the inside," "it says designer inspired...i dont want to be one of those people that has an obviously sad replica'd designer bag," etc etc. But, for $44, I finally decided to just close my eyes and buy it; after all, with amazons amazing return policy, I can just return it!

Well ladies (and gents), I will not be returning. As everyone has said, the bag is wonderful (especially for the cost). I'm naturally a large bag person since I tend to carry the world with me (dog treats, first aid kits, nook, etc etc) so this works perfectly. Its not so large that it cant be used as an everyday bag. I'll probably end up buying the other neutral colors. It's the perfect "i dont have to be careful with it" everyday bag. I have multiple huge designer bags but really, who wants to carry a thousand dollar bag every single day? Especially when I have a husky thats with me 24/7. This bag is perfect!!!! I'll definitely be sure to update the review if anything happens to it, such as falling apart, etc. But after carefully inspecting the bag, its well constructed so I doubt there will be any issues.

I was extremely excited after ordering this bag because of all the great reviews.
The bag came today, the packaging was great and protected the bag.

The construction of this bag appears to be very good, mostly good quality materials, I however have one complaint. The faux leather trim and handles on the bag has some sort of sticky residue from the black parts of the faux leather (I hope this residues wears off with time).

The bag itself was a little larger than what I was expecting, but that's a plus for me. This bag can accommodate my 15.7" laptop, my daily planners, change of clothes and toiletries without making the bag appear bulky and with a lot of room left over. I was looking for a classy looking overnight/weekend bag, this bag is definitely that.

So I decided to put this bag to the test, I packed 3 pairs of jeans, 3 tops, a dress, 2 pairs of shoes, undergarments, my toiletries bag and my makeup bag. I still had some room left. This bag is a keeper.

So after reading the other reviews i was skeptical about getting the bag. I was looking for a purse, but after reading the reviews realized that it may be a bit large for a purse. It is a little large for a purse, but a PERFECT bag for carrying a few things to the coffee shop, an overnight bag, or even to pack a few things to take with. I absolutely adore my bag and I just got it in 2 days ago! I have recieved multiple compliments about my bag, and am very pleased. I selected the tan color and it is like a sandy color. Beautiful!! I would definetly recommend.. so stop reading and buy it!!! :)

I was debating which color I should order, either black or brown.
And I was glad that I ordered brown.
The color of actual bag was darker than the picture on the website and absolutely GORGEOUS.
I'm going to use this tote for upcoming overseas trip.
It's suprisingly light weight yet holds everything I need.
Sturdy construction, fashionable, light weight. What else I should ask for the perfect bag !!!

These bags (i got the brown and the beige) surprised me with their quality and looks. The tan especially is soooo beautiful, and classy (the brown is also VERY nice!) The size is perfect - fits a LOT, the cross-body strap makes it very practical when needed, and the look/feel (even though the handles are not leather) is of a very good quality bag - which is it! -- I may even order this bag again as a gift.

And - if you think the size will be too big for you (it's like a tote, or oversized handbag), you can order the next size down (look for the same without the "Oversize" in the name).

I really do think you will be impressed and happy with this bag.

I love my bag!!! I did not expect it to be so soft, spacious and gorgeous. It was a perfect addition to summer vacation. Thank you

I've been wanting this bag for a long time and finally purchased it when the brown bag was back in stock. It was better in person, I was overly impressed with the bag for the low price. Took the bag to an overnight party and got endless compliments. Two friends are looking to buy them one too. Absolutely love the bag and will buy more in the future as gifts.
