This is such an amazing and stylish bag. I've had my Makowsky for a little over a year and still love it as much as I did the first day I got it. I don't think there is another brand on the planet that has the style and hardware this designer delivers. You will be extremely happy with your purchase, if not, sell it. There are thousands of people that love this bag and it keeps its value very well. This is a lets-go-shopping bag, a lets-party bag, and can easily convert to a night-out-on-the-town bag. This is a great selection. I have this bag in three colors. It's a must have for any wardrobe.

GREAT BAG! I have this bag and I cannot tell you how many compliments I get on the look and feel of the leather. It's really high quality, supple leather that is resistant to water and other minor stains. I even spilled Chinese sweet & sour sauce on the bag, washed it with a warm soapy sponge, and it came out beautifully! I just purchased my 2nd B. Makowsky bag from Zappos and can't wait to use it! I would highly recommend this bag and overall brand. I've owned more expensive bags, that are half the quality, design, and style of this bag! 5 stars!

I have this bag in black and absolutely LOVE it. This is my first B. Makowsky but it will NOT be my last!!! The leather is so scrumptious. I've used both the shorter straps and longer strap. There are a crazy amount of pockets to hold everything. I don't find it super heavy, but I love big bags so the weight doesn't bother me at all.

I have this purse in black and I love it! I don't use the long strap at all...I just let it hang...the handles are large enough to use over your shoulder or carry it on your arm. The bag is made beautifully and it is worth every penny...I am now addicted to B. Makowsky hand bags...I will definitely buy more of his handbags!!!

Great bag - Love this handbag. Lots of room but not heavy. Strap long enough to wear over heavy coat if you prefer to. Very stylish, holds a lot and any age woman can use it. May get one in another color for spring/summer. First bag I received did have some screws missing in the detachable rings. I called Zappos on a Saturday to report problem and they immediately sent me a new one that I received the following Monday. This was before they even received the flawed one back. How awesome is that?? Beautiful handbag, great customer service and fast delivery via UPS. What more could a consumer ask for!!

I LOVE THIS BAG. The photo's do not do the bag justice. The bag molds against your body when using the shorter straps and stays on my shoulder very nicely. Big importance for me. I have purchased several bags and I am told I am a Bagaholic. This bag feels so soft and the hardware is awesome. I love all the compartments. I thought it would feel heavy but I do not feel it's heavy... I do love that the additional strap doesn't get in my way when I use the double strap... Perfect and always there in case you do need it... Just a perfect bag...If you love big bags, this is great... When on your arm it does not look huge...

Love it! I wanted something big enough for when I travel, but stylish enough to carry on an everyday basis and this bag is perfect for both! Lots of room and looks awesome. I want it in every color now!

Great Quality at a reasonable price - I'm allowing myself to purchase one handbag for spring/summer, and this one is up to the task! The distressed silver color leather is high quality and the hardware looks great, just as the interior pockets are handy, though I don't use the external ones. With two little guys, this size is perfect for all my necessities and their basics. I'd buy this brand again in a second.

I ordered this bag in the black and absolutely LOVED it BUT, it is extremely heavy. Between the leather which is a thick, beautiful very fine leather and the hardware it's like carry luggage with very little in it. I debated for a while if I should keep it or not but decided to return it because I just can't carry such a heavy bag for extended periods of time and wouldn't be able to put much in it because with nothing it weighs a ton. If this will even remotely bother you, I would suggest another handbag because I own a lot of bags and this is by far the heaviest one I've ever owned. I am really disappointed because this is the exact style I wanted and the workmanship on this bag is fantastic, it really is beautiful.

This is my favorite pair of shoes. I have been buying the same style for years because they just look and feel so good. I have always received compliments about this shoe and also how they make the feet look small. Great shoe, I will keep buying as long as they make them.

Perfect. These shoes are perfect. Love them. Great service Zappos. I usually wear size 7, but needed a size 6 in these.

Great Gift! I got a pair of these for my younger sister and she loved them. You can't go wrong with the Adidas Superstar. It's just so comfortable, long lasting, and lovable. It's kind of stiff at first but the leather becomes very soft once broken in and it gets better after each wear. I've had Adidas Superstars before and they were absolutely amazing. The arch support is the best part of the shoe. The shoe looks best with nice jeans or pants.

Rubber toes are inflexible! These shoes are super cute in person. (The stripes and tongue have tasteful amounts of glitter sprinkled in, that was unexpected.) But the toe part is made of inflexible rubber, and they don't all for your toes to spread while walking. They hold the toes tightly packed together. It's a shame, I wanted to love them!

Superstar 2W in lavender - Very cute but runs small and narrow; next time I will order up a size.

Awesome Shoes! I love these shoes! I looked around for 2 weeks for these shoes but couldn't find them in any store within driving distance from me. I will buy all my shoes from Zappos from now on. The free overnight shipping is GREAT!!A+++++++.

THE most comfortable sneakers I own - I work outdoors, so I'm always in sneakers and work shoes. These are so comfortable you won't believe it. I have them in a camouflage pink color that's been discontinued, and I'm on here looking for another pair...They're easily as comfy as Keens or my North Face hiking shoes. They're cute, too, not too masculine-looking. BUY 'EM, YOU'LL LIKE 'EM!!

Sweetest shoes ever! I love these shoes! Great color, feel, and the Zappos.com service is beyond compare. I got a half size too big, and it was quickly and courteously exchanged at no extra charge! I am going to get shoes at Zappos.com for all my children!
