Frye Deborah Satchel

The bag is a beautiful slate colour with the studs in the front and in the back. I hate when brands only complete one side to bag so the double detail makes it look that much better. Initially I was surprised at the heft to the bag but it is made out of leather and with some significant hardware that isn't overly sized just hefty in their own right, which makes the bag look better. (The whip-stitched handles remind me of the Balenciaga bag handles) I've already wore it a couple times and I can easily fit my iPad, small makeup pouch, phone, keys, sunglasses, Chanel WOC and if I feel so inclined my Kindle Touch. It is very roomy and I love how it has a zipper closure. The zipper closure feels very sturdy and it's not catching as well as the zipper pocket inside. I'm 5'2" 28 years old, I think anyone shorter may become overwhelmed by the bag size. Definitely take note of the measurements. It has a rugged pretty vibe to the bag. This is in part due to how the leather is treated (?), it has a shiny reflective shimmer to it that I believe will wear well over the long term. I can see the leather becoming softer and a nice patina added to it over time. I did receive the dust bag and the shoulder strap which was a little kinked out because it was folded up in the bag. The shoulder strap is all leather. Cons: Why is that designers from low to high do not include a base for the bag? With all my things in the purse the bottom was slightly sagging. I'm going to try to make a cardboard or plastic rectangle piece for the bottom of the bag. And there is no feet on the bottom so I will be taking it to the purse store or cobbler to add those. After I was done oohing and aahing over the bag my hands felt dirty, like I was rummaging through an attic so there could be some residue on the bag which I believe will come off in time. Also, I bought the bag on Amazon for a ton off the price listed here on Zappos and other Stores. Overall I really love the bag and I can see myself using it for all seasons, especially Autumn and Winter.

Three words: best handbag, ever! Seriously, if you want style, comfort, a total package of universal appeal and practicality them this is the bag to buy. I cannot believe that it is still available. It is not heavy. It is not cheap looking - at all. What it is? Beautiful and a mix of hip with rock star without being pretentious. I love this bag. I am almost impossible to please so people tell me. When I find treasures? They all admit that I knew best. The feel, the convenience of all the right pockets, weight, and total beauty of color? It is a freaking no-brainer. Once ordered, you will not let it go. Trust me. You will thank me...

Great purse! Very roomy with sturdy ornamentation and hardware. As always, I received the order in no time. I was very excited about this purse because it did not seem like your ordinary stuffy purse. It looked both rocker chic and country/western, very unique. It turned out to be that and more!
