Review on Frye Melissa Crossbody Wristlet Beige by Mick Ohlrogge

There is no doubt that Fry makes beautiful leather goods. I have a pair of boots my mum gave me about 6 years ago and they are still sturdy and can easily last a lifetime with proper care. And this bag is no exception! The real color is darker than the photo on the internet, more beige. This is a small shoulder bag, but offers enough space for the essentials. Inside is an integrated credit/debit card holder with 3 card slots and a larger compartment behind for everything else. The card slots are larger and more than one card can easily fit in each slot. There is a main compartment and a zippered front pocket that even fits my iPhone 8 Plus with a protective case. The zippers are very good quality and not flimsy at all, they never bind and open and close smoothly. The leather from which it is made is certainly of the highest quality. After receiving this I now remember that even the leather boots I received didn't smell like leather. This is the only high-end brand that sells leather products that don't smell like leather! I don't know if they treat the leather with perfume or something, but it has an odd perfume smell that's hard to identify. I personally would prefer the smell of leather, but maybe that's just me! Overall though, this is a beautifully crafted handbag and I love it!
