Of course I am a review reader and I usually do base my decisions on reviews unless it's something I order continuously. I love love color, therefore i was thrilled to find this bag line also I'm a 33 year old with somewhat of a more boho style :) I opened the box and immediately knew I had made the best decision about this bag..I'm truly in love with it and have been using it for more than a week now..I'm very surprised about the reviews that degrade this bag. Going on about the smell and how the leather is sewn into the bag. Well let me explain for you. The smell is the scent of REAL LAMB LEATHER!!! I'm actually a little disappointed that the smell does fade a little bit with use, because I have been using it everyday....AND Do you guys realize what a deal this is??? Do you understand that a bag completely made of nothing but lamb leather would cost you hundreds of dollars and I mean hundreds, for I shop around the world. We got this bag for like ***$!!!! That's unreal!!!...Another surprise that came along. .it was a small zipper pouch attached and don't know how I got by not using one before....If you're on the fence about this bag, DO NOT BE!! ITS FABULOUS! I WILL BE PURCHASING MORE BAGS FROM THIS LINE!! Hope my review helps you! God Bless,xoxo
