This bag really is all that!!! The reviews are right on and the bag is soft, supple, great leather and just beautiful...BUT, is it just me or are the straps just not quite long enough???? this is featured as a shopper tote....that means should be carried on your shoulder...Just 3 more inches on the straps would do it for me...I am REALLY trying to love this bag but if it won't work, well....and now I am thinking, so I could just add on, I know leather working, but do I really want to pay this much and not be happy???
This purse is right under my arm....not really sure this will work for me.....great seller, though!

***UPDATE 05/14/08
Okay, this is the first full day of carrying the bag, and I need to say that while the straps are shorter than some of my previous bags, I am getting okay with this. It is comfortable on the shoulder and I am not feeling so claustophobic now...LOL!!! Different isn't bad, it's just.......different!

***UPDATE 05/31/08
Okay, this is my last update....REALLY..hahhaaa...if there was a way to change my rating to 5 stars instead of 4 I would....this is the best bag ever and that says it all!!!

I love, love, love this bag. It's absolutely GORGEOUS and the quality is seriously great. It's got that new leather smell and I've already gotten tons of compliments on it. I feel like this is a bag that I will be using 20 years from now, and it will just be more broken-in and special. If I could I would give it 10 stars instead of five!

This is just *the* most beautiful bag. I loved it in the photo and lusted for it several weeks before finally breaking down and buying it. I'm so glad I did! The first day I carried it, I had strangers stopping me to ask where I got it. My doctor had a fit over it and asked how to get one. It's just stunning, soft, buttery, roomy...and it looks way, way more expensive than its $300 price tag. We've all seen the gorgeous bags celebrities carry that retail for $1,500+...well, this one puts a lot of those bags to shame. I'm going to check back frequently to see what other beautiful item TL offers.

I waited a few weeks after getting the bag to make sure that I was comfortable with it and it was functional. Although my initial reaction was love at first sight.
It has two large compartments separated by a smaller compartment, a cell phone compartment and another smaller compartment. I don't find that things get lost in in, but I'm used to larger bags. It's the perfect size for everyday wear for me and the straps fit well under my shoulders. The best part, of course, is the quality and feel of the leather. The stitching is nice, very subtle. Even the hardware is of great quality. I can't say enough about that. I ordered the cognac which looks exactly like the picture. I also like the seller. Great communication and very accommodating.

This bag is awesome! Often times the picture online is deceiving, but this bag was true to form. As soon as I pulled it out of the box and smelled the high quality leather I knew that I made a good buy. The bag has a look that draws attention and I've gotten compliments already and it's just my 2nd day carrying it. This is an excellent commuter bag. I had everything I needed for work to include a pair of shoes! The color is unique and can be matched up with anything. This is a good everyday bag. If you are thinking about making the investment this is a good buy!

This bag is heaven. I purchased it after reading all the reviews and I have to say, I'm not disappointed. The leather is supple yet durable. The design is classic. It's just a great Italian bag that will never go out of style - and at a price that's a steal compared to other designer/name bags that aren't nearly as well made. Absolutely worth it.

I loved the shape and description of this handbag and decided to take a chance and order it. I was not disappointed! The handbag is made of soft Italian leather, the styling is elegant. It is big enough to tote all my personal stuff plus a small notebook. I have received several compliments already.

Finally, a large handbag isn't too heavy before you put anything in it! I have back problems and normally stay away from a larger handbag. After reading the product reviews I decided to purchase the espresso and was pleasantly surprised. It was just what I needed. This tote allows me to put my planner and lunch for work without carrying them separately. The SARA Italian leather tote is gorgeous, buttery-soft leather, organized, comfortable to carry, and classy. You are guaranteed to get compliments!
Also, very impressed with TL and Amazon service.

This bag is beautiful and very well made. The leather is unique and the color is gorgeous. I receive so many compliments on this bag everywhere I go. It is a large bag but does not look bulky. It also is very comfortable.

No doubt this is a nice bag, the leather quality and the design is excellent, my only problem with it is, it's hard to close it.It doesn't have the ease of closing with one try;I have to hold the inside part where the closure is before I can snap the strap in. I am not sure if it was just mine that has a problem but all in all it's still a great bag. P.S. Great seller!!
