| My daughter introduced me to Zappos, and I will be eternally grateful to her! I order merchandise quite frequently over the internet, and many of the companies I use are excellent and very helpful and reliable, but I have not yet had the same supremely satisfying experience with any of them as I have had with Zappos. First of all, there is the amazing variety of items; second, there are no shipping charges and third, even return shipping is free! Thus, I am much less reluctant to order something that I am not so sure about. Now to the product itself: The Fossil Castille Traveler is a lovely bag, supple leather, just the right size for everyday use and very well designed, so I can organize my many belongings (and I am a great one for organization) and have them ready. As a matter of fact, I love this bag so much, that after using my first one (in lovely pale yellow) for a couple of weeks, I ordered myself a brown one for fall. Can't wait to use it! |

| I love this bag! I usually carry a huge Cole Haan bag, but I needed something that I could take on vacation that wasn't bulky but could carry a lot of things in a safe manner. This bag is made of a very thick durable leather and the strap is perfect for wearing across your chest keeping the bag itself in front of you. It has several organized compartments for credit cards and cash as well as make-up, feminine products, writing utensils, phone etc. When you open the bag you aren't revealing everything that is in it, which was important to me (I don't need waiters/cashiers/people walking by, etc. seeing my passport, credit cards, cash, tampons. I hate that! I am amazed at how much I was able to carry in this bag without it looking overstuffed. I am definitely also buying this one in black when I get back home to the States! |

| I just purchased this bag yesterday and I love it. I bought it in a raspberry color and it fits everything and I carry a lot around with me everyday. I have never had a genuine leather handbag before, and I find the material to be very soft and it rests nicely against the body and the wallet function is amazing, it has a slot for everything. I am a crossbody bag enthusiast and this is definitely a good one. The only downside is that the color darkens a bit, especially if you get the same material in white it will turn either blue or black depending on the color of your purse, but it says on the label that the changing of color is normal with real leather. Otherwise I love it and it will be a long time before I switch out to another handbag... |

| The Fossil Castille Traveler is a great body cross-over bag. It is small enough to carry with comfort in a crowd of people. It is well organized. There is a place for cards and I.D. in the back zipper, inside pockets for cell/electronics, extra room inside for shades, passport, favorite paperback, ect. The adjustable shoulder strap makes this bag a perfect fit, wide enough for comfort. The leather is of great quality as well as the hardware. This bag will last for many years. It is very attractive and a great buy at Zappos. The only negative is I bought the tan leather and you have to be careful with things that stain. If you are one who carries one purse for a long time I would suggest you choose the black one. |

| I am in purse love! Yes, it is a bit of an investment, the price cannot be overlooked; it is on the high side for me. With that in consideration I will say that it is worth every penny! It fits nicely over shoulder or cross body. Compartments are well designed, everything has its place. I love the size, I can fit my moleskin in the purse, but it is not so large that I end up with too much in it. Because of the nicely designed sections I no longer have the situation of digging around on the bottom of the purse for something. I appreciate that the purse has the dual feel of casual or dressed up a notch. Even with the price I would purchase again. |

| I have been looking for a good cross-body bag for ages. This one fits the bill. It keeps me perfectly organized, which is great when I travel. There are enough slots and pockets for everything, without having too many. I am extremely happy with the quality of the materials and construction and the yellow is a beautiful color. I will probably buy it in black as well! My only complaint is that I wish the straps were just an inch or two longer -- I am a plus-size gal with a long torso, so it hits me higher on the hip than I'd like. |

| Perfect Purse - I have been looking for a purse for a few years and have settled for ones that were less than I wanted but soon searched again. I am happy to say that I have found it in the Fossil Castille Traveler, I chose the saddle color and I really like the looks and feel of the leather, this is a quality purse, I'm very happy with it. This will be my everyday purse! I'm also glad I bought it from Zippos, the shipping was fast and I enjoyed shopping with them online. |

| This has turned out to be my "go-to" bag because everything I need throughout the day, no matter what the activity, is always in place and convenient to find. I particularly love the zipped credit card organizer because it is secure but available at the same time. Lots of zippered areas to keep my phone and keys where I need them. Loved the bag so much, I ordered it again in the maize color. |

| Perfect crossbody bag. I bought this in the saddle color. I love the look of it, but it isn't quite the color that is shown on line; it's lighter in person. I think after I treat it with leather protector, it will darken a bit. Not huge, but that's okay with me as it will force me to keep my items limited! The built in wallet is perfect for travel. |

| This is a nice casual purse (I have the black version). It\'s not flashy but does its job well, and the size is good: not huge, but big enough. The interior design makes storage easy--pockets for everything--and the built-in wallet is a great feature. Despite its rather plain appearance, I did receive a compliment the other day from a woman who was looking for a new across-the-body purse. |
