Customer Reviews Fossil Morgan North/South Top Zip

I bought this bag almost two years ago, and it was my first Fossil handbag purchase (yeah!), and the first time i've spent this much money on a handbag. To the pocketbook enthusiast, this would not seem like a lot of money. My shopping hobby is in shoes. I must say, the investment has been worth it. When I look for a purse, I always look for pockets on the outside for my cell phone and iPod, plus an added zippered pouch, and an open pouch the length of the purse on the other side so I can easily slip in my gloves or keys. I also look for the pockets on the inside. This purse has it all, what can I say, I love all the interior and exterior pockets and the purse is perfect. I like the cross body design; the added security it brings when in a crowd and you know the purse won't be ripped from your shoulder. My shopping hobby is not purses, but rather shoes, so I don't know much about other brands. I do not I like Fossil attitude. I am 57 years young,and wear Fossil jewelry and clothes because i still like to rock.

I was looking for a large bag for everyday use. I wanted a reasonable number of pockets so I could find my keys, cell phone, lip gloss, parking ticket etc. easily - CHECK! I wanted an adjustable strap so I could wear the bag cross body or over my shoulder - CHECK! I wanted a leather bag that wasn't too heavy - Well ... it's not the lightest but it is ok. And, I wanted the leather to be able to withstand a fair amount of wear and tear and not look horrible - CHECK or at least I think it will wear well over time. It is very soft leather but is matt vs shiny, has a texture to it and just feels substantial. It is a casual looking bag that some distressing on it will look fine. I didn't give it 5 stars because it is a little "hippy" or Boho in it's style and I would have preferred a completely smooth leather vs texture and a more angled modern polished look but that's my own taste. The pictures on this website represent what the bag looks like very well. It was the best I found to fit my needs and in my price range.

This bag is awesome! It's very beautiful -- the leather is soft and high quality. It has a luxury look in my opinion (does not look like a cheap bag). I bought the Espresso color which is so rich and gorgeous. There is SOOO much room in this bag! On a daily basis, I don't use all the space but when I travel or out for the day, it fits a big water bottle, a sweater, snacks, a book and my mini iPad. Actually my Mini iPad fits perfectly into the front zipped pocket. I love all the exterior pockets so I can store stuff that I want quick access too (phone, keys, gum, gloss). It's just perfect if you are looking for a larger bag!!

I love this bag! I took it with me on a trip to Scotland, and it went with everything. There are so many pockets, I was able to keep everything organized. Even my Canon fit inside. The leather is soft. The strap is adjustable.

This bag is beautiful! Well-made, timeless style, perfect in-between size. It's big enough for an iPad plus extras, or a book/notebook. Nice square pockets with magnetic-closure flaps that are the perfect size for wallets, phones, glasses, keys, etc. The zippers are sturdy and the hardware is golden brassy stuff. Leather pulls on the zippers make getting inside easy. The strap is sturdy and wide enough that it's comfortable. Nice adjustment in length allows for crossbody or shoulder use. Big enough to carry what you need for the day but small enough that it's not cumbersome or bulky. My only complaint is that the green in the photos online is very turquoise or teal - but the bag that came in the mail was deep dark blue green. Still very beautiful, but not what I was expecting.

I got this as a birthday present (for myself but still!) and I love it. It's roomy enough to hold everything I need but not so massive that I feel like I can carrying a backpack or something. The only thing I wish it fit which it JUST doesn't is my 13' ultrabook which is about 1/2 too tall to zip. I love all the pockets, I feel like I am so organized! I didn't think I would have a use for the teeny zip pocket on the front pouch thing but I've found it's great for sticking my USB drive so I can actually find it. The color is exactly the same as in the picture and the leather is great quality, as always, with Fossil.

I love this bag! The leather is soft and buttery. Love the size, weight, and feel of it. The outside pockets and compartments are handy. (Although the snapped front pockets are a little small for my iPhone -- it fits, but barely.) A very functional bag that's also beautiful.

I love the look of Fossil bags. This bag is HUGE though. I can't imagine wearing this anywhere near a congested crowd without quickly becoming very irritated.

My most favorite purse ever. Love the color and the stule

Purse with lots of pockets inside and out to help organize items. Nice, large size.

Omg I love this bag. I've always switched my things between a few purses I really like depending on my outfit but once I got this one I've used it every day! I get so many compliments on it. It's the perfect size for the many things I tend to carry (i.e. a light sweater, wallet, phone, car keys wipes and spare diaper for my toddler, small notebook)

This is a great purse! I bought one about three years ago and have carried it almost every day since then. It was finally worn enough that I decided to get another one. (There were no problems, but the leather color was faded.) I was thrilled that the same model was still available. The separate pockets and sections are extremely useful. I can keep things like keys and sunglasses in the outside zipper pockets so I don't have to search for them. The main compartment is nice and roomy. The strap is adjustable enough that the purse can be used as either a normal shoulder-strap purse or as a cross-body.

I've hesitated purchasing this purse in the past, but I have been wanting a cognac colored bag. Great size. I have received several compliments on it already. I did not like the contrast stitching as I think it makes is look less professional - I took a brown sharpie and fixed that. (I know... I know....)

LOVE this bag! Bought over a year ago and still wear it frequently. It has held up perfectly, and I would definitely recommend. Love how versatile the strap is; can go short for a shoulder bag, or long enough to be a low cross-body! Pockets are awesome and a great size. My only complaint is that I wish it had a little more structure/was a little stiffer, and also little metal feet at the bottom for when you have to set it down would be great!

I love this bag!! It holds everything I need and has so many great pockets! Really comfortable to wear, too!

This is a larger sized purse. It is well made and offers a couple zippered areas, a couple pockets with a snap closure and a pocket on the back side to easily slip things into. The strap is wide enough to balance to weight of the purse so it is comfortable to wear cross-body or on the shoulder. It can hold the basics plus a water bottle and sunglasses while still having room for a camera and small purchases.

I'll admit it, this was my first Fossil bag. I'm usually a bit of a purse snob. I got it for a trip to Europe where I'd need to be able to get all sorts of things in my purse and have lots of compartments. It has become by far my favorite purse. Super comfortable, especially when used as a crossbody bag. I did tons of walking with it, had cameras inside etc and it was never uncomfortable. Plus, I absolutely love the way it looks. Its help up wonderfully as well. I almost can't wait until fall so I can switch back to it!

Lovely bag, however, I felt it was rather boxy and would look enormous on me as an everyday person. Quality was beautiful. Perhaps better for a travel bag.

I'm really happy with this bag! Los Angeles has a newly expanded Metro system and, since I'll be using it more, I needed a bag that could hold a novel and sunglasses, in addition to what I usually carry. This bag is very roomy but the soft material allows it to hug your body so you don't feel like you're carrying a large tote bag. It has lots of separate pockets so you can find things in it easily. The strap is comfortable and a good length. Like many Fossil products, it has a nice lived-in look right out of the box. I love it!

Lovely soft leather in a fashionable shade of green-blue. This bag is a smidge larger than I usually get, but it's so roomy and soft that it's fine! Fossil always wears like a champ; it's sturdiness and cuteness seem like opposites but this bag is both!

Love this bag! So many pockets and different places to put things. Perfect for traveling but also normal day to day activities. Big enough to fit quite a lot of items but also light and comfortable if you only want to take a couple things with you.

I love this bag and I love Zappos too! I'm a Mom of 2 kids under the age of 5, so it's not been that long since I've carried a diaper bag. I was on a desperate hunt for the "perfect bag" for me and was having trouble figuring out what that was. I ordered 2 Kipling bags and they just weren't suiting my needs, so I reached out to Zappos customer service and the rep spent 45 minutes via chat, searching the bags as I did, helping me find the bag that she and I felt best fit my needs! I cannot thank that representative enough for what she did for me as I am absolutely in love with this bag! It is big upon first glance, and I'm used to carrying large diaper bags. The strap is a bit bulky, although I like the option to wear it cross body or shoulder style (I prefer shoulder). I ordered the black and it's definitely black, but I wanted something neutral that would go with everything. The leather is nice, it's softer but I like that since it is more flexible for stuffing stuff inside pockets! Inside I put my large Fossil clutch wallet, hard case sunglasses, small makeup bag, and a hand lotion. There's still plenty of room for me to be able to throw my kids tablets inside and a water bottle for myself (I live in Arizona, I don't go anywhere without my water!). I used the zipper pocket on the outside for my pen and some gum/mints. The two flap pockets I put my keys and chapstick. Haven't used that little zipper spot yet, but I'm sure i'll figure out something! I've only had the bag less than a week, but I love the organizational options and I'm sure I'll rotate my stuff around to find what works best. I'm still torn between colors - there's a pomegranate and seaglass color that both were tempting to begin with but passed on, but keeping the black since it's the most versatile and I'm not able to purchase any other colors right now. All in all, I'm thrilled with the bag! It feels nice on my shoulder, sits where I want it to above my hip, and doesn't look bulky (I'm 5'7 for reference). Highly recommend!

I've only had this bag one day and I already love it! The color is a bit darker than shown online, but I like it even better! The leather is soft and supple. At first I didn't like the tassels on the zippers and thought I would take them off or trim them, but they are starting to grow on me. I was looking for a bag to take on a trip to New Zealand. I don't want to carry a purse AND a camera bag. I have a Canon with two removable lenses and this bag will hold all of that and "normal" purse items. I will be buying pad to insert to keep the camera separate from other items in the purse. I'm also confident I will have room for a water bottle and light cardigan to carry around. The front zipper pocket seems ideal for things like boarding passes and passport which I will need handy but kept secure. When I'm not traveling, this will work great as an everyday purse as well.

I love this bag! The amount of pockets is fabulous...so many places to store things. The leather is high quality. Just as a note, one side of the strap is leather, the other is a fabric similar to a seatbelt. It is very sturdy, but just something to note. I think this will last me for years and I love the way it looks. The size is great. Not too small like a lot of crossbody bags.

My favorite bag and I have some that are expensive. But this bag is worth every penny! Love the style, the leather and it holds and organized all my stuff!
