I have been looking for a nice black and camel/brown shoulder tote bag for a while. I wanted the straps long enough to carry on my shoulder, the inside to NOT be black so I can see my stuff, and preferably a black bottom. This bag is all of that and it is very well made. My only wish for this bag is that it had the small protector tabs on the bottom of it so the leather didn't have to touch whatever I sit it down on. That is the only thing that separates this bag from a high end bag, if it had those tabs this bag would be just as good as any $*** handbag on the market. I rubbed mink oil on to protect it from the NE winter elements and looks even more beautiful. It's not too big, but it's not too small either. I carry alot of stuff in my bags and everything fits with room to spare but it doesn't look like a suitcase!! Would highly recommend.
