Leather Antony Messenger Bag

I am quite satisfied with the item overall. The only caveat is that its classification as a "messenger bag" may be misleading, given its limited dimensions and therefore its modest carrying capacity (on the other hand, I believe that its dimensions had been disclosed as part of its description). As for aesthetics, I've received a number of compliments on its appearance. Moreover, given its quality, the price was excellent.

I received the Leather Antony Messenger Bag and I was surprised when I received it. I comes in a bubble wrapped envelope. When I opened the messenger bag, I was surprised of the size and to me it doesn't look as nice as the picture. I read the reviews and I was amazed with all the positive reviews, but I'm not amazed, I'm a bit astonished with what I received.

I love this purse, so much room, great soft leather. It has a lot of room for all of the basics and more. The complaints about the strap I can see, but it is a very comfortable strap, wide so as to not slip off of your shoulder like some straps do! Can be worn across your chest or just over your shoulder and either way is great. I have back problems and some purses just are so uncomfortable to carry, not this one. I have had a lot of compliments about my new purse. I love it and it is great craftsmanship for a great price. Suzanne

I bought this for a friend's birthday, and I know she's going to love it because the quality is really there!

I have always LOVED brown, leather messenger-style purses/bags. I REALLY liked the look of this one when I saw it on the website, & when it was delivered, it did NOT disappoint! Its just the right size--not too big, not too small. I've loaded mine down too with my sunglasses & wallet in the front pocket (I know the front pocket with its card slots is supposed to take the place of a wallet, but I like to carry one anyway), my cell phone, a pen, hair brush, small book, keys, & PDA case in the main pocket, with other small things like a compact, lipstick, small flashlight, etc. in the smaller zippered pockets--all with room left over! Even with all those things, I don't have to strain to squeeze something in, or pull something out. The great thing about this bag is I can carry all of my stuff easily & comfortably & it does not look overstuffed--that was a big problem for me with other purses/bags. All my stuff is EASILY accessible too--no fumbling around trying to find anything! This bag will also be great for traveling, as it can be worn over the shoulder like a purse, or very comfortably across the chest--it's actually a little more comfortable that way. I got the brown leather, & it seems to be of a very high quality--soft & pliable. This bag also stays upright when I set it down without tipping over. My only complaint--and it's a minor one--is the strap. Unlike some of the other reviewers, I don't mind so much that it's not leather, I just wish it weren't quite so wide. But this bag's other qualities far outshine that one minor issue. Bottom line: this bag's a DEFINITE winner & a GREAT value for Overstock's price. I absolutely recommend it! By the way, this same bag is currently being sold on at least one other popular online retail site for about $20 more.
