I've had the bag with the red leather trim for a couple of years, and other than getting a little grubby, it still looks like new. I get compliments on it all the time. I liked it so much that I bought the black one last year, and had an entirely different experience. The black leather trim seems to be a much softer material and didn't hold up at all. Within a month it tore through on both sides where the shoulder strap loops connect. I just bought the one with the dark brown trim, and I'm hoping it's as good quality as the red one.

Tignanello bags are one of my favorites. They are sturdy, well-designed, great looking bags. The quality is great, the look is great but for me, the gathered top with the belt just makes it too difficult to access my things. On the up side, there are many pockets and places to stay super organized. The handle is long enough to swing over your shoulder and it clears the elbow, which is something I really like. I just hate having to fumble and dig, so I prefer bags that open a bit wider so I can get more light inside. It is very professional looking. I got the one with the dark brown trim and it would be great for fall and winter, its just the digging around factor that makes me debate about keeping it. As for the leather trim -- if it is PVC, it is very good PVC.

I recently purchased this bag with a bit of hesitation, as I am not a fan of logo bags aside from Coach...I'm a bit of a Coach snob, actually. But I liked the look of this bag, even though it was a brand I'd never heard of, and I'm very glad I purchased it. The color I selected is not listed here--the leather accents are an off-white/bone-ish color, and they are genuine leather, not PVC as is cited in an above review. This is a great bag--great enough for me to bother writing a review for it. While organization is not something I typically look for in a bag--I'm all about form over function--this is amazingly well designed. There are several inside pockets, and an outside zippered area that is the perfect size for my iPhone. If you are contemplating getting one but, like I was, are unsure of the brand, I whole-heartedly suggest making the purchase. You can get one in every color for the price (I'm thinking of doing just that), and/or not feel badly about using it for only one season.

I received this item this past week (in natural/brown), so cannot write about how it will hold up, but will write about my impressions so far. The bag is a good size and has lots of pockets & compartments. The interior seems to be a very durable fabric. The exterior "signature" fabric appears good quality, too, and the actual print is tasteful. The stitching appears to be strong and looks nice. The magnetic closure is great--much better in my opinion than a snap or zipper. The bag sits nicely on my shoulder and is comfortable to carry. The strap is wide and doesn't slip. The strap is NOT adjustable, in case that is an issue for you. When I carry the purse, the top hits around my elbow and the bottom brushes my hip. The "belt" around the purse IS adjustable. The purse has metal "feet" on the bottom, which is nice to help protect it when you have to set it down places. It also comes with a large key chain, just FYI. Overall I am very pleased. I gave it 4 stars rather than 5 because it is advertised as Fabric with leather trim and the trim is actually leather-look "Nappa PVC". (I found it described as leather trim on other websites as well, so perhaps it's the manufacturer putting out the misinformation, but the tag inside listing the materials lists it as the PVC and nowhere is there a genuine leather stamp) I really wanted leather and it WAS a factor in my choosing this purse, so I was disappointed that it wasn't leather. I'm a bit concerned about the durability of the PVC stuff, as I usually go with leather. However, I liked the purse so well that I decided that wasn't enough of an issue to return it and look for another purse.

This was a very good buy worth the price I paid. It is a very nice size bag with plenty of space to put everthing.

Well made bag with above average styling. My only objection is that it's a little too big for me but not enough to return. I also wish that you could release the belt that gathers the handbag without ruining the look.
