I have searched for a purse that would hold everything I need, would have generous outer pockets, be lightweight and convert from a crossbody/shoulder to handbag. Finally, after wasting money, thinking I had found the ideal bag only to be disappointed (my latest would not stand up, but collapsed constantly and was heavy). This bag is fantastic and I am now such a Brighton fan - the bags are beautiful, I love the microfiber/leather combo - it's lightweight, which is wonderful, and the silver accents are nice. The pockets on the front a great for my iPhone in its case and my tissues/mints/gum in the other. I love the back slot for my Kindle or papers. And this bag looks tidy and small and not like the big fat totes I usually carry. I can't believe how much it holds as small as it looks! Fantastic! Thanks Zappos!

Needs a divider and more pockets on the inside for more organization. Otherwise it is a wonderful little bag, I have it in black. I gave it 4 stars for it missing the divider because I don't like putting my cell phone right up next to my wallet because it zaps the magnetic strips on credit cards or anything else that has a magnetic strip like an office ID badge. A divider would make the option of separating them an option.

Brighton is one of my favorite brands. The quality has always been top notch. This bag is a great size, I love the strap length and adjustability. The hardware is lovely. I don't care for the fabric of the bag though. It really looked cheap to me. I would love this exact size and style in an all leather bag.

Love the bag. The strap is just not long enough to be considered a cross body! I love Brighton but am having a tough time with long enough straps.

I have purchased and returned many purses, but not this one! Most are too big (totes that become a black hole of disorganization for me), or too small for glasses, wallet, checkbook, cosmetics, phone, etc. The Billie, however, is a perfect size: nicely organized, useful outside pockets, looks sharp and is lightweight. It is a real winner!

The search might be over for the perfect everyday handbag. This bag is light, organized, attractive and made well. I just love it. I will definitely consider another Brighton down the road.

Looks great and works as cross body bag OK. Just wish the strap was a little bit longer to accommodate my coat!

Very cute! Lightweight and easy to carry but still plenty of room. If the strap could be extended another 3 inches, it would be absolutely perfect, but it still works well.

Pros: Functional with lots of pockets. Lightweight. Holds a lot. Nice medium size. Feet on bottom. Has shape but is not stiff. Overall fabric is wipe-able. Cons: Looks matronly which is okay since I am the age but if you are looking for cool keep looking. Crossbody strap is way too short. I'm 5'1" and fully extended this purse only hits the top of my hips. Would have loved an inch more. This will be too short over a coat. And tall ladies keep looking. Also crossbody strap is attached to bag so not an option to replace with another crossbody strap. Strap is seatbeat material. Okay but had hoped for a little more luxe for the price. Will be hoping for durable. Bought brown/black option and chocolate trim is rather plastic looking and cheapens bag. Bag pulls, on other hand are cut silver-tone and look too expensive for the bag so designer couldn't make up their mind. Designer used silver pulls all over bag but not on top pull. Why? Black overall fabric seems lightweight and wipe-able but also a tad thin. Hope it is durable. Bottom line, I have mixed emotions and considering returning.

I'm an adult with tiny feet. I'm also frugal. Did some research on the PureFlow line, both adult and youth. I took a chance and ordered these to save some money...so glad I did! They're great shoes. Not too much padding, but definitely not minimalist shoes. A nice in-between. I'm not a super serious runner - I'll run 5-10 miles a week or so, and these have been wonderful. I went with the green and they are awesome. Every time I look down at these shoes when I wear them, I feel like they were stained with the Hulk's radioactive reproductive DNA.

Awesome looking shoes! I'm not sure my 4 year old cares, but they are also light and seem to be good for running. Son wanted Hulk shoes and these were the coolest ones I saw by far! Also got my 6 year old girl the pink ones.

My son loves these shoes. I only regret not getting them a half size bigger so that he could grow with them. They look really cool and work well with his slender foot.

My son loves these shoes! They are holding up great on a kid who is non-stop running, jumping, and all over the place! His favorite color is red, so he got the bright red ones, and thinks they are best! Great shoe for my active guy!

These are a great pair of speed shoes. I have very weak ankles, so I would definitely not recommend these as trainers. I log about 50 miles a week in my Nike Lunarglides, and about 5 in these when we have speed workouts. They are a great alternative to spikes for me, but they would be great trainers for those with stronger bones. They are extremely light, and an overall great running shoe. (Awesome color too!)

My son loves these shoes. He loves the bright green color and says they are very comfortable. They seem to fit him well. I see some cosmetic wear on the toe after 3 weeks of wear, so we'll see how they hold up. Overall, very pleased with our purchase.

Great shoes! I use Brooks almost exclusively, having run numerous half marathons, 5K, 10K, etc. Have always found them to be an excellent running shoe. My kids loved the colors, and they are extremely lightweight (as a running shoe should be). Be aware, however, that they are quite narrow. I am returning them due to the difficulty my children have squeezing their feet into them. I have never had to order a "wide" for the kids prior to these, and hope that the shoe is available in a Wide. Otherwise, outstanding shoe!

These are the coolest green shoes I've seen in a long time! Bought them for my 7 year old who loves them. Note: They have an elastic strap across the foot, midway down, that was too tight for his medium width feet (never had this problem before). They don't come in a wide, so the Zappos rep. suggested a half size bigger to add some width...worked! Love Zappos reps! So nice, so helpful, so fast! Thanks!

Great shoes. My 9 year old son finds them to be very comfortable for school. The color is very bright, (I joke with him that they are visible from space!) but that's the current trend. He thinks they are the same color as the 'diamond' boots on Minecraft - so for him, these sneakers are perfect. Great customer service from Zappos too - they truly go over and above what I expected. These were bought as a replacement to a pair of Adidas sneakers I bought for school - after a week, a hole appeared in the toe. I emailed Zappos and they immediately credited me the cost of the Adidas sneakers. I will be a loyal customer of Zappos for years to come because they treated me so well.
