Iswee Lack of Quality
Color: Brown
This product was way below expectations. It is suppose to be leather and it feels like plastic. Talk about being over priced and inferior this a good example.

Nice quality bag!
Color: Wine
I love this bag. I ordered wine color and leather is beautiful. This fit’s everything I carry perfectly. I have an iPhone 15 pro max and it fits in front pocket just fine. If it hadn’t, that might have been a deal breaker. I am using the embroidered strap currently and it’s so cute and comfortable. Gun metal hardware is very pretty and zippers are very smooth. It comes with a dust bag and was packaged with care. Great price point for such a nice bag. I highly recommend!
