Less than perfect
I like the style and color. The leather straps are showing threads and I am trimming them. Product is less than a month old with use of only a week.

The quality of this leather is lacking, it’s stiff and waxy and feels like a fake leather similar to what can be found at large discount chains. I expected better from LLBean, espe

Unhappy strappy
Loved the quality of the bag, but the strap started fraying by the second or third use and gave the bag a shabby appearance.

Strap is fraying and looks horrible
Used for: Casual or Every Day
Yes I've had this for awhile but for the price of this purse you would think it would hold up better than this. Is this strap guaranteed or is this it?

Very disappointed
“Leather” was very stiff and didn’t feel authentic. Strap did not relax from being folded for shipping. Not a good feel for the price!

This never recovered from being smashed in shrink wrap in shipping. So unnecessary to do this because it’s so tiny to begin with.

Sadly disappointed!!!
Used for: Casual or Every Day
I used this purse for 2 days and the strap showed fray. It is advertised as leather but the strap is not. Also the color of the leather makes it appear like vinyl.
