Customers say
Customers appreciate the handbag’s style, quality, and roominess. They find the brown color luxurious, with nice silver-tone fittings and feet. The sturdy straps don’t fray or flake, and it seems like it will last a very long time even with daily use. Many find the bag suitable for work and everyday use, reminding them of a Madewell bag. The leather quality is soft and feels good.

Quality purse
When I ordered this purse, I was hoping that it would be a nice purse, but didn’t think I’d be blown away by it. Once I received it, I was so pleasantly surprised. It’s beautiful. The quality of leather is just what I was looking for. The zippers slide easily and it has more space than I expected. I am very happy with my purchase. I had to contact the seller, and the customer service was wonderful. The purse is not overly large, but can hold my wallet, makeup case, my son’s 10 inch tablet along with my phone and I STILL have more than enough room. I love the strap and the fact that I can use it as a shoulder bag, or as a cross body bag. It has a divider in the middle of the bag, with a zipper for storage, along with some smaller inside pockets and another zippered pocket. The 2 horizontal zippers are convenient and I love the fact that there is a zippered pocket on the back side of the purse, where I can easily put my keys and phone for easy access. Overall, I think it’s a fantastic purse for the price given the quality of the purse. Love, love, love it!!!

Almost Perfect
I too was not sure about this purchase from the conflicting reviews. I also wasn’t sure what color I wanted, so I bought both the brown and the black, as well as two other purses from other companies.For the complaints on the smaller strap falling off, it did happen with the black leather. For the complaints on the quality control, the black purse had some issues with the zipper not fully being silver, but transitioning in areas to a gold, and then back. The brown was perfectly fine.Out of all of the purses I chose to keep the brown leather purse by Bostanten. The leather was thicker compared to the other companies. The straps are real leather, and not a strip of material sewn over a plastic or felt strap, and they don’t fray or flake, like another one did just walking to the mirror to see what it looked like on.Ultimately I chose the brown over the black, and not because of the defects (I would have just contacted the company for a replacement). The other brown purses on Amazon had this artificial dyed brown color to them. This purse looks expensive. It is a lighter brown, but it looks rustic in a way that it looks naturally worn in to show the color changes. I always purchase black purses, and this is the first one that is another color and it blows away all of my other bags.I found the dimensions to be accurate, all of the zippers are well made and slide easily. The lining is thick and well sewn, and the front inside slit pockets actually fit a large smartphone and an eyeglass case. Both straps are well made, and yes, as others have said the short strap has this nice padding to it, that the longer strap does not, which is unfortunate. I have bumped into the car and garage wall a few times, and although I have gotten a couple of dirt marks, no scratches yet. I think it is well made, and not too small or large to wear either as a shoulder bag or crossbody even for a petite person.Now with all of the praise comes the negatives.The purse is a soft leather, it is not structured besides the bottom. It does not stay up on its own. Whenever I add things to the pockets, or the slip pocket inside of the purse, it falls over from being side heavy. I bought a nylon purse organizer to deal with this. It helps me keep my items organized and centered, while keeping everything in their place.The second thing that I absolutely hate about the purse is the center zipper pocket. With or without the organizer I do not like this feature. Putting things in the pocket is like a deep hole, and it weighs the center of the purse down making it sit weird while wearing it. Not using it, it just an annoying pocket in my way, especially with the organizer. It squishes the organizer smaller than it should be if it wasn’t there, and the bottom sides of the purse as you can see in the pictures sag. After having the purse for over a month, it still bugs me. I wish they made this purse in two styles, one with the divider and one without. I would happily buy it without in a heartbeat. Now I have an internal conflict with spending $70 for such a nice purse and considering cutting out the center zipper pocket so that I can have the full inside area to utilize properly.The third thing is that as a 5’2″ person, the longer strap doesn’t go small enough. I literally need it one or two more holes smaller, and am considering having them added, however, as you can see from the picture, the extra hangs over the hardware, which gets in the way of the strap laying flat while using the shorter strap. In the picture of the front of the purse, it hangs just like that while wearing it bent and rounded.I do love this purse and the negatives aren’t enough for me to return it, as I have found similar complaints with far more expensive purses as well.

Small
This bag arrived carefully packaged to prevent any damage during shipment. Packaging included a cloth storage bag.The pebble leather is pliable and has a faint leather smell. There are nice silver tone fittings on the bag and four silvertone feet on the bottom of the bag.All the zippers on the bag, both inside and outside, worked easily. The zippered pockets on the outside of the bag could easily hold a few lipsticks or your earbuds, making access easy. There is a nice large flap pocket on the back of the bag for your cell phone.The interior of the bag has two wall slot pockets, one zippered wall pocket and one large center zippered pocket. The bag has a top zipper. The wall slot pockets are a bit small and would be more useful if they were deeper. The zippered wall pocket is a good size. The center zippered pocket is large and could hold a lot of lightweight items. I wouldn’t put heavy items in because I’m not sure the stitching is secure enough.The bag comes with two detachable straps, one to hand carry and a longer adjustable strap to wear as a crossbody.Unfortunately, I have two issues with this bag. The bag is smaller than expected. While the measurements are listed in the description, the photos are misleading, especially the photos with the model. The bag appears to be an extra large bag but in person it is small. My other issue with the bag are the straps. They are not the same quality as the bag and I believe this is the weakness to the bag, that these handles will eventually begin to deteriorate with use. Because of the small size and inferior straps, I am returning this bag. My search for a quality leather bag at a decent price continues.

Great product!
I ordered the black bag for ten dollars…at that price, I was not expecting much. Boy, was I surprise. It is well-made inside and out. I have enough room for a large wallet and other item. The zipper is brass-colored, strong, and neatly inserted and making the bag more expensive looking. The bag came with a bag to keep it clean. It looks like leather.

Trage diese Handtasche nun schon eine Weile fast täglich. Ist leider etwas kleiner als erhofft, es passt aber für einen normalen Alltag alles hinein und vor allem die beiden seitlichen Vorderfächer sind ideal für Handy, Taschentücher, usw.. Durch den angenehm weiten Schulter-Riemen (zusammen mit den Außenfächern mein persönlicher Hauptgrund für den Kauf) lässt sie sich auch über dicke Winterjacken sehr angenehm tragen und man erreicht die Außenfächer mit einer Hand. Der zusätzliche Cross-Body-Riemen ist vor allem fürs Ausgehen sehr praktisch. Der Innenbereich ist unterteilt und biete noch zusätzliche Fächer an. Ich trage sie bei sämtlichen Gelegenheiten und habe weder Kratzer noch sonstige Beschädigungen oder Fäden, da hat die Qualität bei anderen Produkten schon öfters viel Früher nachgelassen. Wenn sie noch 5 cm auf allen Seiten größer wäre, wäre sie perfekt, denn dann wäre sie fast in Shopper-Größe und es würde auch ein kleiner Laptop wunderbar hinein passen.

I love, love, love this bag! It’s extremely stylish.. I purchased it in black leather with silver hardware to match a black pebble leather backpack I purchased on Amazon. The pebble leather is high quality ~ soft, but not too. There are lots of compartments, making it very practical as well as stylish. It comes with two straps. Unfortunately, the strap that is the better length for me has faulty snap closures as many others purchasers have mentioned. I plan to use crazy glue to glue the snaps together, as others have recommended. The bag is too stylish and practical to return over the snap problem. I love it!

Lovely quality, very supple leather. The hardware is very good quality with very smooth zips and the lining has a good finish too it. I will be buying from them in the future
