Best purse I've ever owned! I purchased this purse (in black) from a local department store last fall and it is, by FAR, the best purse I have ever had! I tend to carry a lot of extra little things and papers/bills and this purse has really helped to keep it all organized. I love it so much that I just bought another one yesterday (from Zappos) in a different color for summer! (I chose the Salerno Stripe Multi/Hazel.) I promise you won't be disappointed with this purse...and Zappos customer service for that matter. They bumped my free shipping to free overnight shipping simply because I am a returning customer. You can't beat that!

It's a great purse. Am so glad I got it. Quality and looks are better than picture shows.

I love my yellow bag! As soon as I saw this bag, and that it came in yellow, I had to have it. Not only does it look great, but it has tons of compartments. In fact, it took me a while to remember what I put in which compartment - there were so many. The only issue I have with the bag is that one of the straps constantly falls off my shoulder. That's annoying. But on the whole, I am happy with this bag.

Basic black - Good shoulder bag in basic black, great to have when other colors just don't convey that ultimate professional look.

Great quality - This purse is beautifully made. I was surprised at the number of compartments--6. It is great for travel and for those who like to be organized. I was remiss in not checking the measurements--it is much too short in its depth for my taste. I intend to offer it to my elderly mother because it looks too matronly for me.

Great tote - I have to have a large bag and this one fits the bill. It is a well made, attractive, and holds everything. It has enough compartments that I am able to find what I need when I need it.

My New Aigner Handbag - I love this handbag!! It is the perfect size and I love the pockets. It took 3 tries of shopping at Zappos to finally get the bag I wanted. I sent back 2 other bags and Zappos made the return process easy. Now that I have Zappos, I will never shop at the store for another handbag.

Beautiful, lots of pockets - This is a large well-designed bag, beautiful leather and finish with lots of nooks and crannies for organizing. There's a big outside pocket for papers or a magazine, the rest is zippered and contained, with several dividers, smaller zippered pockets and slots for phone, sunglasses, whatever. The only problem for me is that I can't keep at least one strap from slipping off my shoulder. Sort of annoying to be constantly replacing it, but overall I am very pleased with its appearance and craftsmanship.

Great purse. I love this bag. I have been looking for a purse that has enough compartments for me to keep track of all of my stuff. This one fits the bill. It is also the perfect size for me. Not too big and not too small. I haven't been this happy with a bag in a very long time.

This bag is similar to the one I purchased years ago. It’s nice and roomy, lots of pockets and is easy to carry without hurting your shoulders and there is a place for everything.

Love these sandals. I purchased these sandals in a Birkenstock store in Myrtle Beach, S.C. and wore them out of the store. Total comfort! I suffer from plantar faciatis, and these sandals relieved my aching feet from the moment I put them on. Don't be afraid of the colors, they're darling. My only regret is that I didn't come to this site first. I paid full price, what a bummer.

The most Comfortable Shoes! I bought my first pair of Arizonas in 1975, and they remain my favorite of the Birkenstock styles. Birkenstocks have been keeping my feet pain-free for almost 30 years now and I own at least 20 pairs!

Can't beat the service! Ordered them in a medium width but exchanged them without a problem for the narrow (even though my foot is medium) Good looking, great comfort--best sandal on the market, and Zappos is the place to order.

Birkenstock Arizona Saldals - I have a problem with having almost no arch, and absolutely cannot wear shoes without arch support. If I do I suffer pain in my feat. My old Arizona's lasted me for about 3 to 4 years and I couldn't live without them. When my sandles needed a replacement, I immediately bought them (this time 2 pairs). They are the most comfortable footwear I have. Birkenstock certainly makes quality products. Some styles of Birenstocks are guaranteed and can be repaired (new sole, etc.). I am very happy with these shoes and would definitely suggest others to try them. They certainly give good use and comfort.

A classic never dies! This shoe is great! It fits well, molds to your feet and works well with almost every kind of attire. This is one of the most comfortable shoes I have ever owned.

Wonderfull basic Birkinstock - This is the classic Birkinstock. It has a wonderfully comfortable footbed that contours to your individual foot over time. I have worn this shoe since the early 90's and would not ever go without a pair. I wear them everywhere.

All Terrain Sandals - I have worn this style and other Birkenstock sandals and clogs for about 30+ years. I have very wide feet and a high instep. These Arizona sandals are great for both style & comfort that never dies. They will dress up and down, depending on what you want them to do. They break in quickly, as other Birk's do, and then they are strickly your shoes.

Having worn Burkies for the last several years they continue to not disappoint me...I can get them in the mail put them on and wear them the rest of the day and not have any foot pain. I have many pairs now and in many colors to match everything. Thanks!

Beloved Birkenstock's - Size true, fit as if made just for my feet. Zappos' service is beyond compare...their level of internet service will toll the bell for brick & mortar retailers.

I bought the Cocoa Nubuck Arizona's, and like my other Birks, the footbed is excellent. They did look a bit more masculine than I had expected, but they're still really cute. One problem I did experience today, is the very front of the first strap. Since they're brand new, the leather has a rather sharp edge, and was irritating my toes. Of course, the leather will wear down as I break them in, but I definitely wasn't expecting that to happen. As with my other Birks, I ordered a size 37, which on this site says that's equivalent to a 6-6.5, but for all other shoes, I usually wear a 7.5 or 8.
