Banuce VIntage Full Grain Italian Leather Handbags for Women Doctor Bag Purse Ladies Satchel

I agree with some of the other reviews, this bag was not packaged as well as some carefully packaged purses, but fortunately, the one I received was without damage. And despite some people having trouble with the zipper, mine works well. It is a roomy bag! I love that. It’s sturdy, a great color, and looks classy. Even empty, this bag is weighty, so expect a workout if you fill it! But really, it fits a lot. I can fit my planner, and whatever book I’m reading along with my daily items. A shoulder strap would be a nice addition, but o usually carry my bag on my arm anyway.

Been searching through purses for about three months before I came across this one. The purse is well made and has a “ gator “ closure so when opened It I can find my things easily. The bottom of the bag has five points which makes me comfortable enough to place it on a counter or floor etc. The corners are well protected being covered in another piece of leather and the handle is rounded or rolled up to make the handle comfortable. I can’t find anything about this bag to complain about. I plan on carrying this bag a long time. Well done.

This is a nice bag. Its built well, quality bag. My 1 concern is that the zipper sticks on one side and I hate forcing it, I don't want it to break. Its pricey but I needed a bag that was large, something that would hold its shape. In the past for the most part I ordered bags but since I carry a lot they all lost their shape and most were too small. I like this and its good for me (as long as that zipper don't break).

This is a beautiful bag with very good craftsmanship, made from top-quality full-grain leather. The zippers & other hardware look very luxe (some kind of of bronze alloy, I believe). I haven't taken it out for a test drive yet, I plan to use it whenever the air travel ban is lifted. The lining is a cotton-poly blend fabric that will eventually start to wear or get a hole in it from the end of a key or something else sharp, so I would have preferred a suede interior. But the cotton-poly lining is as advertised. Again, this is a beautiful piece that I'm sure will get compliments from leather aficionados when I finally take it out in public.BUT there are a couple of major problems with it, which is why I only rated this a 3 overall:#1 BIG PROBLEM: They definitely exaggerated the size. This is NOT an overnight bag. Even though the bag expands, you cannot fit 1-2 days worth of clothes in this bag unless you are a toddler. You might squeeze in a shirt & 1 pair of rolled-up jeans or a little black dress & a small make-up bag but you'd have no room left for anything else except your wallet & keys. I don't appreciate it when sellers mislead you about such details.#2 BIG PROBLEM: I thought I was buying a bag made in America from leather crafted in Italy. The Amazon page says: "BANUCE, as a brand registered in the USA, specializes in the development of Classic and Vintage leather bags and focuses on its design, functionality and durability. BANUCE bags are mainly made of Italian vegetable tanned leather and other cowhide leather imported from Italy. Thanks to such material, BANUCE bags, such as briefcases, messenger bags and handbags, are ideal for business travel and office work. So far, BANUCE has served US, Europe and Japan markets for over 5 years." https://amzn.to/3gRIDNO . Imagine how shocked I was to get this in the mail, open it up to inspect it & find a tag inside that said MADE IN CHINA!!!! [NOTE: The detachable tag on the exterior of the bag does state that it is made from full-grain leather, so they didn't lie about that.]I try very hard to avoid buying anything made in China other than cell phones & chargers. I certainly don't spend my money on "luxury goods" manufactured in China. I don't care how good a job some Chinese manufacturer does in making a posh leather bag, I Don't Want To Buy Items Like That From China When 40 Million Americans Are Currently Unemployed!! So I am considering returning this bag, even though I like it very much.

The purse is an incredible value for the leather. It is a heavy purse and the brass details provide an elegance to the bag, but it makes it heavier. I love the style of the bag and how much I can put inside.

This bag is beautiful, but smells bad, and the bag isn’t packaged well causing the leather to rub against the metal detail and scratch. There was also a glue stain on the inside of the bag. Unfortunately, I will be returning this.

The purse is even better looking than the picture. A little bigger than it looked on the photo as well. My reason for 4 stars is cuz it did not come stuffed n so it’s a little wrinkled looking on 1 side . Also as another review had mentioned, the zippers are hard to work with more on 1 side than the other. The purse also came with a few nicks n small scratches but I still kept it thinking to myself. It ain’t a $500 purse n I’m probably going to put nicks n scratches on there myself eventually lolThe color is darker rather than more orangish like on the photo which I was even happier. The weird part about the purse which I never seen before, the handles do Not fall down Untill you unzip the bag. I thought it was a snap of some sort. My mistake but I’m sure I can get use to it

The purse is of sturdy leather and love the size. Purse is heavy - even when empty. Wish that it had a shoulder strap. Large opening to see everything inside and stay organized. A bit more money than I wanted to spend. After receiving the purse... It will last a long time with proper care. Would buy again.... "IF" it ever needs replacing.
