Designer Inspired Handbags

Too many pockets, I prefer more simple, sometime we couldn't find the thing we are looking for.

We are pro photographers, and needed something that looked nice, held alot, and would stay closed under pressure. This did it, and for a nice price too. We ordered two to start with, we use them in about every typed of situation you can think of. The winner was a event with about 4000 people. We needed to keep fresh change of batteries, soft box for flash, and cards. These held all that an more, and they still looked good. I've used and abused mine for a year now, and it's starting to show wear. However, because it's now so much apart of our uniforms, and packs I only retired it to personal use like a favorite pair of tennis shoes or jeans. I ordered 4 more for our new camera packs, and I will continue to order these as we need them in the future. Now I have trouble with one arm and have to unzip fast, change out what I need and get to moving. When we 1st got them, this was a little hard to do, but the more you zip and unzip the new wears off the zippers to a smooth action, but stays shut when closed. I know we have even over filled them, and they still keep going. Includes overfilled, phone, an two way radio.....they still keep going. If you fasten from the back and have the pack facing front, just be careful you get it fully lached, or it can and will come unlached on you. This is howevera user issue, not product issue. I have also given a review in the private photography arena on this product.

the fanny pack is made well and looks nice. the only problem is that it is a bit too small.

I was expecting 5 zipper areas in addition to the two small side zipper areas and the fanny pack had only 4 zipper areas accounting for my disappointment.

I love this bag. I had one like it a few years earlier and couldn't find a replacement. Lo and behold, checked out Amazon-dot-com and here it was! I really like the patch work and of course the price can't be beat. It is roomy for a fanny pack. No problem with the zippers either. I really like this one.

The picture of this item looks great, exactly what I wanted. It came completely flat and folded up in plastic, with fold creases in the leather. The zipper does not work correctly, it comes unzipped in the middle of the zipper. Overall, just not the quality I was hoping for.

I also was a bit leary about this bag from some of its reviews regarding its quality. But I have to say I was more than pleasantly surprised. It is JUST exactly the size and style of what I was looking for and the one I received, was made well, nice quality leather, well designed in every way. My ONLY complaint is, the strap is WAYYYYYYY to short, for anyone but a child. When I put this bag on, as the sling it was intended, the bag itself falls under my armpit. Granted Im on the tall side, but Im not 6 feet tall, and its still way too short. Luckily for me, I had an older black leather bag that had a detachable shoulder strap with the same clip hooks as this bag. So for me, adding the extra strap, makes the bag fall just above my hip , which is where a sling bag should fall. I wont use the zip backpack option, but it did zip ok, if I ever did. Overall, decent value/quality, but the strap is too short.

Like another reviewer, I too was struck by how flimsy this bag looks and feels in person. It indeed looks quite sturdy in the photo. The back vertical pocket is basically useless. I'm still using my old beat-up backpack purse because it's better than this one. I do, however, take credit for making a bad purchase. I thought maybe there was more to the purse than was said. Nope. Like Mama told ya, "You better shop around!"

This backpack purse arrived with a zipper that wouldn't zip. So after paying the $7 in shipping to get an unusable product, I had to pay another $9 to ship it back to get my original backpack cost of $15 back. All in all, I'm out $16 for something I no longer have. It seems like you shouldn't have to pay for shipping on a defective product.

Great bag to carry around. Just right size for essential items. A front pocket with a main zipper compartment and a side zipper pocket.

When the purse arrived it was flat and not pretty. I opened it up and put a rigid piece in the bottom to give it more shape and it came to life. It had a "leather" smell which I like. I've used it every day since getting it and find it is just right to hold all those necessities. The leather is soft and thin, so I don't know if it will hold up long term, but for the price it is great.

Contains a chemical known in the state of California to cause cancer and reproductive harm.

The bag is beautiful and soft, but has a very strange, strong odor that is not going away. I have researched online and it seems the odor is from the tanning process used on the leather. However, what I REALLY would not recommend is purchasing this product from Creative Products. I was asked to review them as a seller and put much the same review as above. Then I was contacted by this seller and was TOLD to remove my prior feedback, even though they agreed with my observation that the bag had a strange odor from the tanning process. I was instructed that this was a place for review of their services and not a product review. I perceived the email as very pressuring. As I scrolled through their feedback, I noticed this was their response to most neutral/negative feedback. I think it's very poor customer service that they are more concerned with their status on Amazon than customer satisfaction and the quality of the products they sell. I wished to change my feedback of them as a seller to negative because I will not do future business with an entity that instructs me on how to leave an opinion. That is very condescending treatment of your customers. However, I removed the feedback with the hopes to leave new feedback. Creative Products is probably aware that once feedback is removed, a buyer cannot leave new feedback. I was not aware of this when I removed my feedback, although I should have guessed when Amazon encouraged me not to delete feedback even if pressured by a seller. This left me with a very negative impression of Creative Products.

I really like the bag, the shoulder strap could be a little wider and thicker.

This purse is evidently what it says genuine lambskin, and has a leather smell sufficiently strong enough that it might need a little airing out, but it is a functional size. However the "adjustable strap" adjusts from somewhat short to shorter. It is by no means a long strap which is what is implied by "adjustable strap". It is also not a substantial strap. You may want to take a longer strap from another purse and replace this one if you use a long strap purse. Otherwise the purse is quite functional.

I have been looking for exactly this type of bag for two years and couldn't come across it in any store I looked in. I was shopping around on Amazon and couldn't believe it when I saw it! I ordered it and when it arrived I couldn't wait to use it. The bag was crinkled and folded in a plastic bag. The creases haven't come out and the leather is cracked on the strap and along one of the creases. The bag also has an odor coming from it....sorta like a mildew smell. I used it for 2-3 days and was so embarassed when someone pointed out that the odd odor we smelled in the room was coming from my bag! I was actually at a pocketbook dem and ended up buying a new black bag there for 4x what I paid for this bag. I guess what they say is true....you get what you pay for. I am currently very happy with the bag I purchased but it wasn't what I really wanted.

At $45, this case is way overpriced. It arrived today, looking and feeling like cheap, shiny plastic. It is not leather, that's for sure. It might be worth $15-$20, but A) I paid $45 and B) if I wanted a cheap-looking case, I would have bought one for $15-$20. This is the type of thing you get free when you make a $100 purchase from Fingerhut. It's going back.

Item rec'd in good time and the bag is excellent for the price. Not sure if it's100% leather but is close enough. Good deal.

I PURCHASED THIS 17"LEATHER LAPTOP COMPUTER CASE ON 1-11-07 AND RECEIVED IT ON 1-17-07.FOR THE PRICE OF $19.99+ SHIPPING THIS IS A GREAT BUY.BUT IF YOU WANT A DIFFERENT STYLE AND HIGHER PRICE AMAZON HAS OVER TWO HUNDRED TO CHOSE FROM.BUT THE ONE I BOUGHT I'AM HAPPY WITH.
