Isla Backpack

I have had this purse for a few months now, and get compliments on it every time I carry it. It's a nice "tote"/briefcase size, which I like on days I have to carry a bunch of stuff and don't want to worry about having to fit everything "just so" in a smaller bag. It's comfortable over my shoulder, and I'm not somebody with petite arms. The workmanship is insanely nice--and what a treat to buy something that reflects true craftsmanship "like in the old days." I'm certain this will be my go-to bag for decades--literally! I have a style (if you could also it that! LOL) that’s sort of Western-inspired/Old California/ranchy, so this couldn't be better for me. All of my girlfriends immediately commented that it is just perfectly "me"--which I love. Who wants to be cookie-cutter??? BORING. This is something different, but a classic at the same time. The only thing I sort of wish were different about it is the color, which is a little too orange than I’d ideally like, but I seriously love the bag so much, I can overlook that. I think this will age really well, and (as with pretty much all leather goods) only look better with time and wear. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! AWESOME BAG.

The workmanship and leather quality are top notch. There is one design flaw that will keep me from purchasing the bag in other colors -- the piece of leather for the cinch strap is too short, preventing the mouth of the bag from fully opening. If the cinch were longer, larger items would fit better, and it would be easier to access items within the bag.

It was given to me as a Christmas gift and I absolutely love it!! The the authenticity of the leather and the make of it is so pretty! It's the perfect size for carrying things when I travel!! Thank you so much!!!
