ALARION Women Top Handle Satchel Handbags Shoulder Bag Messenger Tote Bag Purse

I'm not a purse lover like my sister and her friends...no Gucci, Hermes, Michael Kors for me; I get her leftovers. I had an unexpected emergency and needed an inexpensive tote/purse and if I could have gotten away with a paper bag I would have. Amazon was the only option expense, trend, and fashion. The ALARION FIT THE BILL PERFECTLY. I was quite pleased with the quality of the leather, the look, compartments, a great TOTE....it is far more than it's worth. a great buy.

This bag now shows unavailable and the price has been removed from my order details but I think it cost around $30. The design is classic and material is sturdy, but the strap suddenly broke off on me! It is deep senough without being bulky & I really liked how the base sits firmly without caving in or sloping in any direction like other bags. It can hold paper folders/notebooks and a bottle of water for busy, on-the-go gals. But the inside 'open' pockets are not deep enough to hold lipstick, small make-up or pens; those kept falling out and I had to dig for them all the time. Overall, this bag will last you about 2 months of regular use: don't overload it because the straps are not made to handle much weight although the bag itself feels strong. Pity, coz I thought I'd found my bag-partner for a while as I like to avoid swapping purses in between work & various outings. The color is so pretty and surprisingly did not clash with my clothes on any given day. "Charles & Ketth" fix the straps and work on the inside a little more.

This is a nice looking bag. I really love the way it looks and that it could easily hold everything I wanted to carry with me when I am out an about. But, there are a couple of things to be aware of-- the middle pocket that divides the bag is short -- about 1/2 the height of the bag. This means that unless you take the time to arrange things in the bag they will just push the pocket down. It makes a useless divider. Also, and the reason I no longer carry this bag, is that the zippered inside pocket is not attached to the outside of the bag except right at the ends of the zipper, which leaves a blg black hole for things to fall into outside of the pocket. After losing my keys, my phone, a credit card, and a few other things in that black hole, and having that panic about where I lost those things, I gave up on the bag and got a different one.

Love the color & size. Material inside too lose, not attached to bag too well

The straps on this bag are the ideal length for my shoulder, making it easy to tuck it under my arm, so it doesn't slip down awkwardly, knocking down to my elbow.It's a simple, sleek, elegant design, large enough to fit business sized notebooks, my iPad, phone, wallet, keys with no bulkiness.The center zippered compartment sits half-way down in depth. I like it because it's discreet for personal items that you wouldn't want exposed in a business environment while pulling out my iPad or notebook.You could pay five times what this bag cost and not get the value of this $25.00 purse!

I liked the color but it’s a little in the thin material side… floppy doesn’t stand up at all.

I ordered this bag on the early access days in October and was so excited for it to arrive. It is a really pretty saddle brown leather body with feet on the bottom. There is a dividing pocket in the middle that only goes about half way up. I wish it went full height, but it's not a major deal. It holds my wallet, phone, and 2 small travel bags perfectly with additional room on top of those things for a small umbrella or gloves, etc. The top zips shut. The one thing I'm a little concerned about is the handles are already starting to crack/split, as if they aren't made from the same material as the body of the bag. I do use it every day and toss it around, but I would think they would be sturdier than this. Maybe a redesign or double layer is needed here.Overall I love the bag, just hoping the handles don't give out before my love for it does.

It feels elegant but doesn't cost an arm and a leg. Only complaint is that the middle pocket is a bit short. I would like it to be a bit taller to separate two sides of the purse a bit better. It's really pretty though.

i think i got what i paid for lol, nothing wrong with the purse in my opinion. only thing i personally don’t care for is the middle divider i wanted a tote purse with more of an open concept but regardless it’s much bigger than the one i had before (kate spade satchel) from going from a nice brand to an amazon bag i have nothing to complain about. if it wasn’t for my friend already purchasing this purse in the past i wouldn’t have bought it based off the reviews. she’s had her purse for a long while now & yes the leather on the handles have been peeling like some reviews say but if you pull it all off it doesn’t take away from the look of the purse, without it it looks like it’s meant to look like that lol. soo if your handles start to peel just peel it all off.. better than having a half peeling handles!

I would of rated it 5 stars but the outer pipping on the handle is coming off, it’s beautiful and it’s big but unfortunately the piping is starting to rip at the handles after only 2 weeks of having the purse.

Lovely bag but product is not real leather as stated in description. Adjustable strap is short if you’re tall.

It’s a nice color and material but the inside is poorly constructed that my items get stuck in the folds of the interior pocket. If the sides of the inner lining was attached to the bag, this purse would be perfect. Shame.

EDIT - as much as my sister lived her purse, she didn't start using it until April 2021. We are in Sept and the straps are already broken. Not great quality at all:( ...... change to 2 stars always spend a lot of time thinking of the perfect gift for my nos complacient sister. This handbag got a big hurrah!, plus it got to her earlier than promised. That deserves a 5 star rating.
