Review on Covelin Women'S Genuine Leather Tote - Soft, Stylish Shoulder Bag by Anthony Bandzz

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Beautiful, classy bag shipped folded with a built-in wrinkle

I love this tote. Why four stars instead of five? I almost sent it back because it shipped flat and folded like a grocery bag. When unfolded, it has a built-in wrinkle running the width of the bag along the front under the external zippered pocket where it was folded. I don't get it. It's shipped in a fancy-purse dust cover and a second logo bag. Why not spend a few extra cents and stuff the bag with packing paper? I'm pretty hard on my handbags, but I do like them to look new for a couple of days before I start banging them up.So I was going to send it back, but I kept looking at it and realized how striking it is. And for the price, it is finished beautifully. Upon unwrapping it, I was worried about the handles. While adjustable, they came the perfect length for me. But they looked a little thin and delicate. When I inspected them, I realized they are well stitched and the edges burnished. No raw leather edges here! These are the handles of a more expensive bag. And I realized, for the price, I wouldn't have any problem stuffing it full and shoving it (gently) under an airplane seat or something similar.I've been carrying it for a week, and I love it. I waffled between the brown and wine red, and I'm so glad I chose the red. It just looks really rich. And it sits up straight, no slouching.A couple of details that are important to me: 1) The center zippered pocket is attached to the bottom. The top of the pocket is a few inches from the top of the sides, so it's much smaller than the bag itself. 2) One of the smaller interior pockets (the cell phone pocket) fits my iPhone 6 Plus handily.So while I wish it didn't come folded and pre-wrinkled, I'm glad I kept this bag.

Pros
  • The tote has a relatively flat shape, making it easy to store in small spaces when not in use.
Cons
  • Does not fit a laptop or tablet

This is a buttery soft, leather bag that holds up to smelly teenagers driving their outside skate thingys inside the house. And by inside, I mean into the side of my nice new bag. Due to the quality material of the bag, the black marks washed right off! Happy with this bag. Have told all my friends about it.
