This is the perfect bag. I love it! It is nicer than it appears. It is very well made and the one strap is great. It is perfect length.

I love B. Makowsky bags! They are so soft and the leather is gorgeous ... this bag was no exception! The color is true to the picture (buttery yellow) and not the name (lemon) so I was thrilled. The price was very reasonable for the quality!

I got the coral color in this bag. It is really pretty and has lots of room. Very soft leather.

The leather is soft and rich looking. I get many compliments. The zip pockets in the front are deep enough to hold your ID, iPod, etc. or anything that you may need to get to quickly. The shoulder strap is wide enough to stay on your shoulder without always sliding down.

I love this B. Makowsky handbag. It is the right size for carrying a larger purse and has a nice drop which can be adjusted. I just started buying his handbags and already have a couple smaller ones. Zappos is definitely the best sites for shoes and handbags. Great service, too.

I ordered this bag in lemon. I was a little leery of the color name but I liked the color as it appeared online so I took a chance. I was not disappointed! The color is true to it's appearance online (not description of lemon). It's soft but sturdy leather, the studded detailing is beautiful and the size is perfect. It stays comfortably on my shoulder and the zipper front pockets are actually quite roomy and usable. You can't go wrong with either purchasing a B. Makowsky bag or ordering online at Zappos.

I loved this bag...unfortunately, after only carrying it two weeks the stitching attaching the zipper came apart. For the price of the bag that is unacceptable. Thank goodness I bought it from Zappos and returns are so easy.

A very nice bag. This is a B. Makowsky lite bag, made of a lighter weight leather than other bags. Still, a very good value. Very nice quality and beautiful color.

I bought this purse to go with my purple blouse that I wore for a job interview. It's gorgeous! The color is very pretty, not too strong & very unique. The leather is soft & high quality. And the purse is perfect size, lots of room & pockets (for cell phone, wallet, iPod, etc.), but not too huge, which I like. It sits nicely on the shoulder. I got many compliments. Love it!

WOW! I have really big feet. ("Hello, my name is Benjamin, and I wear size 14 EEEE." "Hello, Benjamin.") For YEARS I've been saddled with footwear that lacks the basic style that graces even orthopedic shoes, and rarely has that aforementioned style-challenged shoe been comfortable. When a shoe company does carry plus sized shoes, the translation is typically an awkward one. Imagine my surprise when an Italian made shoe makes me look at the few size 14 jewels I've cobbled together in the last few years and find them all lacking. I am blown away. It's not too tight, not too narrow, not too loose, and not too wide. It's almost like the thing was molded on my foot. I was initially put off by the price, but liked the shoe (and the look of Pliners in general) so much that I thought, "What the hell? If they don't fit, at least I'll be able to return them." Now I want them in all colors, and I'm seriously considering trying out every Pliner I can find. Beware this shoe: it may change how you think about footwear and blow the curve for everything you have.

Great Look but not for City Dwellers - People notice when I have these shoes on. They fit perfectly; but they are not made for walking on concrete city streets. Sole construction is just too thin. That may be the price of fashion; and in this case worthwhile - but only just.

Nice shoe, order a smaller size - I usually wear a size 14, but when I ordered the usie in a size 14, it was too big for me. Consequently, I didn't feel very comfortable walking in it. Perhaps a size or half size smaller would be suitable for you if you order this one.
