Roma LeathersGenuine Cross Body Purse Bag, Multi-Pocket, Black

I've had this little purse barely two weeks so I can't speak to how well it will hold up over time, but it SEEMS very well made. I am pleased. I read the one star reviews and find myself wondering if they received a completely different purse than I received. First, mine does not stink - at all. The zippers appear to be strong. It looks and feels like a quality purse. Now for details:It measures 8 3/4 tall x 6 3/4 wide, and has MANY pockets. The very top, main compartment is zippered . There are no inside pockets or dividers in this largest compartment of the purse.On the front of the purse there are two zippered compartments. They are roomy. I can put my hand all the way down in them easily. Then there is a rounded zippered pouch on the front that zips almost all the way around, but not quite all the way to the bottom on either side. It has cloth slots inside, on the purse side, for three credit cards. My credit cards fit snugly enough that they won't fall out easily, but not so snug that they are at all difficult to take out. On the flap side, it has a clear "window view" pocket for your drivers license. Again, my driver license fits snugly enough not to fall out, but not so snug as to be difficult to take out (unlike in my wallet!!).My Samsung S7 phone, which is in a slightly clunky case, fits easily in the larger of the two front compartments. Room to spare on both sides, but if it were much taller it would be too tall to zip the compartment. It does not fit in the smaller front compartment, nor in the rounded credit card pouch.An LG G3 phone in a slightly clunky Otterbox case is a hair too tall for the larger of the front pockets. It fits in the pocket VERY comfortably, with room to spare on both sides, but is a tad too tall to zip the compartment. Without the Otterbox, I THINK it would just barely zip. And of course it is too tall for the smaller pocket.The BACK of the purse has one zipper compartment. My Samsung S7 fits very comfortably in it and the compartment zips up, but if it were much taller, it would not zip. The LG G3 fits comfortably in this back pocket, but again, it is too tall for the compartment to zip. Without the Otterbox I THINK it might zip. Not positive though.Further down on the back there is a flat pocket with no zipper. It is a perfect fit for the LG G3. The top of the Otterbox shows slightly, but since it happens to be black like the purse, you don't even notice it. It is a snug enough fit that it doesn't fall out easily, but if I turn the purse upside down, the phone WILL fall out. It is not so snug as to be the slightest bit difficult to take the phone out quickly when you need it. It slips in and out of this pocket easily, but would only fall out by itself if the purse is turned upside down.Of course, the LG G3, in its Otterbox, fits VERY EASILY, with room to spare on the sides and the top, in the main (center) compartment of the purse. I think most phones would fit in that compartment. The opening is 5 1/4 inches across. A phone 7 1/2" tall would fit in the main compartment. The LG G3, in its Otterbox cover, is less than 6 1/4" tall.If I make the strap as LONG as it goes, it is 26" long on each side. In other words, if I hang the purse on a hook and measure from the hook (the top of the strap) down to the metal circle that holds the strap on one side of the purse, it measures 26 inches.And of course, there is a metal circle on the other side of the purse and from the top of the strap to THAT metal circle is also 26 inches.If I make the strap as SHORT as it goes, it is then doubled and is 13 1/4" long on each side. In other words, if I hang it on a hook and measure from the hook (the top of the strap) down to the metal circle that holds the strap on one side, it measures 13 1/4" inches. And of course, there is a metal circle on the other side of the purse and from the top of the strap hanging on a hook to THAT metal circle is also 13 1/4 inches.Overall, it seems like a very nice purse, and as of right now, I do recommend it.

I like it.

I saw a review of this smelling like Mildew, so was hesitant to buy it.SOOOOO Glad I bought this bag - It's AWESOME!!So it smells like leather..if it didn't have the leather scent I would not have believed it to be real leather.That being said, the smell of new leather is strong. IT GOES AWAY. ALL REAL LEATHER HAS A STRONG SMELL WHEN YOU FIRST GET IT.I got my bag 3 days ago and once I put everything in it that I wanted, I put it on the table next to my couch. By the next day, the strong leather scent was gone.I would never, ever put leather in a washing machine..the leather would be ruined. Any Leather I have ever owned, <and I have a lot>, I've ALWAYS taken to be Dry Cleaned. Leather gets destroyed with regular water and soap.I LOVE this bag. It has 6 - YES - SIX compartments for you to put your things in.1. In the front of the bag there is a small zipper compartment that opens up to reveal a window pocket for ID's and 3 pockets for Credit or Business Cards. I put my credit cards in those RFID Sleeves to protect them, and all my cards are in 3, and they fit perfectly! My Driver's License, Military ID and a Medical Card fit perfectly in the ID Window.2. On top of that compartment is another zipper that opens up to a full open compartment. I put a metal tin of Mentos Candies and a small LED flashlight, with plenty of room for more!3. Above that is yet another zipper compartment with more room then I know what to do with!! I put a pen, my inhaler and a few small items in this one. <My hand all the way to my wrist, fits inside this one!>4. On the back of the bag, there is an opening that my IPhone 4s fits into perfectly, or you could put cigarettes if you smoke.5. Above that opening <no zipper> is a zipper compartment that fits my cell phone as well <I use this one for my cell so when I'm on the Harley I won't worry about it falling out>, but you could put anything in it really..6. On the top of the bag is yet another zipper compartment, the main one. It's the entire length and width of the bag. I have a small cosmetic bag and a small coin purse that holds everything I need it to hold.I like using cosmetic bags / coin purses or similar items in bags like this so nothing will stain / rip / ruin the interior. If I were to put everything in the main pocket, it would be hard to find what I'm looking for, so I just use little bags, and I know exactly where everything is! Simple really.This "Small" Cross body bag is holding a TON of my things and you would NEVER know it has so much in it by looking at it. It's not bulged out and none of the seams are stretched. This is a VERY WELL MADE bag with TONS of organization opportunities!Don't like the smell of leather and can't be patient enough to give it time to breathe, well that's a shame because this really is a great bag at a great price!Priced well for being a genuine leather hand bag that you can wear across your body, or put on your shoulder as the shoulder strap is very adjustable!I recommend it and if I ever want or need anther - I'd come right back here to get one! VERY happy with my purchase!

I ready like the size of the purser but it has moldy smell. The purse has a lot of pockets which I like but the moldy smell, not good !
