FryeMelissa Zip Satchel Leather Handbag

I researched for a long time - read a gazillion reviews. Yet didn't realize until deciding to keep it - on first full day of use - that there is no outer pocket to slip my phone in for easy access. How could I have missed this detail, or underestimated the convenience of such a thing?! Also, I will definitely have to replace the shoulder strap with something wider - the <1" strap that came with it caused shoulder pain by the end of the day. The short straps aren't really long enough to keep the bag on my shoulder - maybe because I'm tall and not a beanpole 🤷🏻‍♀️ otherwise, it's a beautiful and sturdy bag and it serves the purpose for which it was bought.

I like the quality for the price.I returned it because it was too big for me.

Couldn’t lift it. Very sturdy not soft.

I love the bag and carbon color.

It’s a beautiful bag and the smell reminds me of my tack room and saddles but….not big enough and not enough pockets. SMH. I carry my life in my purse. This bag doesn’t do the work for the price. The cross body strap starts to cause major neck and shoulder pain. I’ll use it only because I spent so much money and have been wanting a Frye bag for so long.

The media could not be loaded.  Finally third time of ordering this Frye Melissa zippered satchel .Over two and n a half year time frame. This one I will be keeping. Real leather factory wrapped. No scratches. Looks just like the one in the store. First two I ordered looked like shiney cheap leather not properly wrapped. Had scrathes. Only complaint is the dust/ storage bag is not big enough to cover the entire satchel. For this kind of money we deserve a storage bag that fits the entire purse. Without having to smuch the satchel to get it in. I will be contacting the seller. I love the size of this purse. It can fit my 13 in tablet my fry wallet and all of my other things I carry. Plus more. I love that it comes with a strap so I can carry it cross body style. I'm very very pleased with this purse. I've dreamed of owning this purse since they came out several years ago. And I got it on sale which allowed for me to order the wallet. So now I have both the satchel and wallet.

Love the quality & style of this bag! Real leather & hardware is well made. Definitely worth it given the price! It is on the heavy side so would not recommend it for a long trip or all day errands. Frye products are well made & never disappoint!

GORGEOUSIf you are a Frye fan and like a rugged, distressed bag and don't need a lot of compartments, you will like this bag. I lusted over this bag in Ice for years after spotting a lady carrying one through the airport. I have several pairs of Frye boots, but for some reason I couldn't bring myself to pay the cost on this bag. Finally did it a few months ago.I. Love. It. The color is gorgeous, and it's getting 'beaten up' nicely. There are no pockets other than the ones on the wall of the satchel, they are fairy flat and small slide-in style with one larger zip pocket. I don't carry a lot of small, loose stuff in my bag, so it works. If you're someone who does, or wants things very organized, you'll probably hate it.The quality is, of course, excellent. Thick, heavy, beautiful leather that feels and smells amazing. Good gusseting, so that the bag retains its shape when you set it down. Roomy interior, well made adjustable and removable strap. Handles will fall flat to the purse if using the strap.This bag will last for a decade or more if you take care of it, and it'll look great doing it. If this is your style, don't hesitate to invest in one of these bags.

This is my fourth Frye bag and I’ve never been disappointed. I received this bag factory wrapped, which I love because I enjoy the unwrapping experience, especially when I’ve paid a pretty penny. Honestly though, I think Frye bags are worth far more than their selling price.Two of mine, I’ve had for almost fifteen years with no sign of them falling apart. The leather still has sheen to it. They are still beautiful and get compliments.ANYWAY, this bag is lovely. It’s very sturdy and roomy. The leather is ultra thick and smooth. It is on the heavier side, but makes sense once you see and feel the leather and hard wear up close.It is way more impressive in person.UPDATE: As much as I love it, I have to share that the one I received was sprayed with something that irritated my nose and eyes. First I smelled the leather but after a while I realized I’m smelling chemicals. I had to wipe this bag down, with water, about 10 times, leave it outside, when it was inside I kept my fan on it. It helped a lot but it was concerning.I read that they treat leather bags, with chemicals, to keep away bugs and prevent decay and mold that can happening in transport or wear houses.

Perfect for daily use, note that this handbag is havier than expected, but that's because of the thick leather . Expect years of use from this great handbag.

The leather in this handbag is beautiful! With Autumn coming it was time for a new Navy Purse since navy is my staple colour and go to!! I do not have one regret for the price I paid because I know this handbag will last me for a very long time - years! I will definitely be ordering another!! Remember Ladies you get what you pay for!!

I was looking for something smaller than a tote but larger than a crossbody and this satchel is perfect. I can fit my tea and even my lunch and still have plenty of room. Gorgeous soft leather and beautifully made. Very happy.

Loved the purse 👜 it was a little pricey, but I plan to use this purse for many many years to come 😊👍
