Kattee Hobo Bags for Women, Genuine Leather Tote Purses and Handbags Shoulder Bucket Bags (Brown)

One thing I love is a good bag, and this one didn't disappoint. The price was amazing, the quality and craftsmanship top of the line! The item looks exactly as it appears, in fact even better! I am happy! Inside is the zipper bag with lots of room for other items, very well made, the outside is great it has side pockets, well fitted for your cell phone, outside pockets on the wide sides too. Quality you wont be disappointed in, I bought one for my sister too, for a Christmas gift! Definitely recommend!

This hobo bag is beautiful and well made. It is perfect for my needs. I needed a handbag with no pockets inside. After my stroke I was tired of trying to remember with so many pockets in my handbag. My hobo bag is spacious and comes with a removable cloth like cosmetic bag or items of your choice. Works great for my water tumbler and so much more. The wide straps stays on my shouldersbetter. Well could go on and on there are so many Pros for me and no Cons but I will give you a break. This is my honest opinion only.

Nice looking and good quality. However, interior pockets are in a separate insert instead of on the walls of the purse itself. This is just something that gets in the way when you have a lot of contents.

I don't know how many stars to give this bag. The bag I received is good qality and seems well-made. I can easily carry my wallet, makeup, phone, and keys plus I have plenty of room for a few books, a tablet, and a sandwich. The labels cause me to worry about how durable and water-resistant the item is, however. I've attached photos of the tag (front and back) that concern me. It looks as if the manufacturer didn't pay for professional translation. I'm concerned the bag will mold on the first rainy day. I know better than to oil leather daily, but the tag indicates I should do this. Is the company trying to tell me the leather will almost certainly crack, even with normal wear in typical conditions and it's my fault if that happens because I should oil it daily? And with what type of oil? The instructions say "the oil." There's no oil that comes with the bag. I need to buy oil. Neatsfoot oil? Mink oil? Something else? It seems there's a thin plastic finish in the leather, which is common in leather goods. Why is so much oil necessary? Honestly, I don't think it is, but all this points to the manufacturer not being confident in this product or they refuse to pay for translation or both, which again makes it seem as though the company doesn't focus on making a good product and cut costs to the detriment of customers seeking care information. The reverse of the care tag seems to dare someone to burn this item to gain assurance that it's made of real leather. I worked in a testing lab and regularly worked with products manufactured to comply with ISO standards. The ISO standard the tag references doesn't exist. Again, I see a lack of professionalism and respect for the customer. I have a doctorate in English, and I had to look up "villous," and found it refers to the hairy surface of a paramecium or similar single-celled organism. Leather is not villous, although the impending mold may be. I have no plans to ignite my purse to see if I can knead the resulting ash into flour. And flour for what? Bread? Why would I eat ash from something that may be leather? For the love of everything that is holy, make a quality product you believe in, and pay a competent translator. Also, reference standards that actually exist. Your customers aren't stupid.

Hmm. On the one hand, the title and description of this item clearly state that it is made out of leather. On the other hand, the purse I received, which looks exactly like the one pictured here, is NOT leather. HOW COULD THIS BE?Did the company LIE about its product? Does Amazon have ZERO quality control?? After careful consideration I've concluded that, YES, in fact, that is exactly what happened. The company lied so that they could charge people twice as much as what the bag is actually worth, and Amazon doesn't respect its customers enough to have actual standards.If you're wondering how I deduced that the bag is not leather, there were several key 'clues':First, it does not smell like leather AT ALL. Even if you put your whole face inside the bag, there is NO leather smell, only a vague chemical smell. Try this with any bag that is actually leather--especially if it is new, but even if it is really old--it will have that distinctive leather smell. Did Kattee secretly invent a way to produce leather without that smell?? Or are they just lying in the product title and description?? It's a mystery...Second, it does not feel like leather. It is really stiff & a little plasticy feeling. Exactly like fake leather.... Hmm....Third, the edges of the material are lined with a weird black edging. I checked a few of my other bags, shoes, etc. and none of the ones I know are real leather have that kind of edging. Ok, so maybe it's a technique I'm just not familiar with, or another thing that Kattee secretly invented. But why bother to line the edges of the inside seams that are totally invisible (unless you already have your face inside the bag for other reasons)? Why is there NO raw or normally-seamed edge anywhere to be found?Fourth, there are two small leather tags inside the bag (one on the bag itself, and one on the insert) that ARE real leather. You can tell because the material is unfinished around the edges & soft on the back, and they smell and feel like leather. When you compare these tags to the material of the bag, it is obvious that they are not the same material. In addition to the different smell, feel, and edging, the bag is a brighter orangey color, and the tags are slightly browner, more like a caramel/camel color.... more like what you would expect actual leather to look like. Compared to these little tags, the color of the bag is really unnatural and tacky.Also, as another reviewer noted, the bizarre labelling that seems to have been included to "prove" that the "leather" is "genuine" is so incredibly unprofessional and insane that it does not sufficiently prove anything--and actually only raises suspicion.Maybe some people don't care if their purse is real leather. I know that sometimes I don't care--I have a couple of bags from Target, for instance, that aren't real leather, and that's not a big deal to me. But I also spent like $12 on them. And the company didn't LIE to me in order to trick me into paying way more than that. Despite the fact that I do find the color a bit tacky, I still think this purse is really cute. If it would have been labelled accurately and honestly, and if the price reflected the quality (like $25), I would have been happy with this purchase.As it is, I was fairly disappointed in the company, but mostly VERY disappointed in Amazon. Amazon, are you really just letting companies write whatever product descriptions they want and then doing NO follow-up to ensure accuracy? Where are the billions and billions of dollars that we all know you make like every day actually going? Is your entire budget now being spent on giant server farms, TV show production, and delivery drone development? Hire a quality control department!!
