Presa 'Bella' Large Leather Double Handle Satchel

For starters, I love handbags: life can disappoint you, shoes can hurt you, but good-quality handbags and good friends will always be there. That being said, 1) the purple color, called eggplant, seems to me like a grape color; not nearly dark enough to be called eggplant; 2) the zipper is different, as other reviewers have commented, however, I think that it will be a good thing, since you will be able to have this large bag open without exposing all of its contents; 3) the lining is a boring, unremarkable brown, but a sturdy-looking fabric. Bottom line: sturdy bag, short handles (as advertised); AND the lack of gaudy hardware is what will keep this bag from becoming dated. It seems that many designers have gone nuts over hardware. I will probably be keeping this bag, because the LACK of bling will not date its wearability potential. Styles change, the calendar influences what look is age-appropriate, but the simplicity of this bag will keep it in fashion. Without the wearability factor, no item can be called an investment.

I am VERY SATISFIED with this bag. I ordered it in chocolate for the fall. The description should be upgraded. The appearance, durability, and quality of leather is EXCELLENT. I have to get used to the two zipper part of it, though. Overall, the PRICE IS RIGHT as well as the PRODUCT!

I got this bag at a great price for the purple because the brown was out. The leather is very nice and it is a high quality bag. I couldn't decide so when the brown came back in stock I ordered that one too but had to send it back because it looked more like a doctor's home visit bag from years ago. I'm glad I kept the purple. I do wish that there was SOME more hardware on this bag because it looks a little plain. The large gold zipper does help. Also, the interior is an unexciting, dull brown but it's just fine because at least it won't show pen markings or makeup. It's a great bag and if you can get it for under seventy dollars, I would go for it. The brown was close to one-hundred and I didn't think it was worth that. You can get a brand name on sale for that.

I wanted to buy this bag in sea foam long time ago, and when it was sold out I became desperate. One day I received an e-mail that it is back in stock, so I hurried to purchase it. It took a bit longer to arrive than it usually does with overstock, but that wasn't an issue. When I got it, I couldn't hide the disappointment. I was expecting that it would have more of a grayish shade, like the very picture showed, but it's really green! Then the handles. They are really short, so there is no chance to wear it on your shoulder. I must have it in my hands all the time, and it's so annoying! Also it's not so big and soft as described. I'm really thinking to return it!
