Customer Reviews The Sak Silverlake Crossbody

I was looking at this bag tor a month. I loved it very much on the pictures. I've got black one. Overall it's decent bag, leather isn't that soft like I thought, but it's really okay. The reason I'm going to return this bag is the crossbody strap, you can't see it on the pictures except last one. Crossbody strap made with two cotton parts and leather part between them, they hold together with two metal rings (one we can see on the picture). All that construction goes straight to your shoulder and it's big and heavy and...it's too much is going on on your shoulder, and it's too heavy for this not that big bag. I would prefer to have it only in cotton or only in leather - lighter and less visible.

I dont' usually write a negative review about a product but I have to with this purse. I ordered 2 different kinds of Sak purses and when I got them, I noticed one of them, the one above had a broken stitch. So I sent it back and used the brown one of a different style (also Sak) that I had ordered at the same time. I ordered another one of the black ones. Meanwhile, I used the brown one few times and realized at that time that the stitching on that one was defective too. But I kept using it. Then I got the black replacement purse in the mail and it had food on the front of the purse, food inside the purse and the pocket on the inside had bigger than a golf ball size hole in the pocket! REALLY?! Don't buy this Sak label. This last purse clearly had been used for a while and smelled like food and had crumbs in it!

I love this purse. Beautiful warm brown color. Goes well with most things I wear. Really love the stud detailing, the fringe things on the zipper, the smell/feel/look of the real leather, and all the pockets. The cotton part of the strap doesn't bother me and it seems durable and worth it. I had to mark the purse down 1 star overall, however, because very shortly after I purchased it, the magnet that holds the main flap closed came loose and slipped down inside the purse. It is sewn inside the lining so I haven't yet found a good way to repair it without compromising the look of the lining. It's still floating around in there somewhere. I'm sure I will repair it eventually. For now, it's not a huge deal, but it's disappointing that it happened so soon after I bought it! Seems like a fairly major design flaw.

It’s a good bag for travel, small wallet, sunglasses, Kleenex, pockets for lip balm, etc. Very soft leather too.

Love this bag! Great quality, soft leather. Stud detail is stylish but not over the top. Shoulder strap is comfortable and extends longer than most - terrific cross body and its not hugging your rib cage!

Perfect size bag for every day

It's the perfect size .. exactly what I;'ve been looking for.

Love The Sak, and this purse is one reason why. Plenty of room for reading glasses, sunglasses, wallet, keys, extras, plus an exterior slip pocket for easy access to my phone. This style has the customary interior zipper pocket and two slip pockets (love that Sak standardizes their features across styles!), with the added bonuses of an extra slip pocket behind the zippered one, plus the entire flap is a zippered pocket as well. Having so many storage options makes organization/finding what you're looking for easy. And even though the exterior is black, the interior fabric is tan so you can actually *see* inside the bag! Leather is high quality, as is the construction. Have this bag in both black and tobacco embossed; the only way it could be better is if the black was also textured, or came with a fun, colorful dangle like the tobacco.

Stunning quality. Really happy with this purchase.

Love love love this bag. I wanted something for traveling that was 1) big enough to hold essentials, but 2) not so big I would be lugging something super heavy around. The flap was a must because it’s secure but still easy for access. I also love the zipper on the flap because I can put things in that section that will be super secure (i.e. house key which I won’t need until I return, passport, etc). Perfect size. Will be cute for many years to come because it’s not Uber trendy. Total score!

This bag is awesome! Soft leather and roomy enough for all your items. It worth the $$$. This bag has enough compartments for all your needs!

I love this Purse. Very comfy

i have not got my order yet and you want me to write a review either send the order or credit my account

I got this Sak Silverlake in the Geo Stitch from another store and loved it so I bought the black leather one from Zappos. The first one they sent me the back pocket was sewn shut so I called and they emailed a return label and the replacement was here the next day after the phone call. I love this purse. The back pocket is large enough for my iPhone 6s Plus in a lifeproof case. The inside held by a magnetic closure is super roomy and the flap unzips and is also super roomy going all the way to the bottom. Another thing I love is the strap. It seems to distribute the weight more ergonomically. My old anuschka packed full weighed less and hurt my neck after a long shopping trip. This purse also seems to be made of quality materials and I am quite happy with this purchase and Zappos customer service.

I love this purse. It's super cute and matches everything. There's a quick access slit pocket on the back for phone, etc. Very roomy in the main pouch and the tassle zippers open to a separate compartment.

This bag did the trick for vacation. Great price and size. It's not fancy or anything you should expect compliments on but it's functional and I love it. Most - the inside pockets. Straps didn't bother me more than any other bag and I'm glad they are not entirely leather (as another review mentions).

Really liked this purse. The material and style are great. Only returning because of size. Wish it was a bit bigger.

I just love this purse, very nice leather, not too big and not too small. The zipper compartment (makes up the front flap) is perfect for my Bluetooth and other stuff I want to make sure I don't lose! Holds a lot but it's not too big. I wanted white but the "stone" color is nice too. I love it!

Super cute bag w/ a pocket in the back just big enough for my iPhone, an internal pocket perfect for my wallet, and good size to carry everything I need without being too big. Strap is adjustable for on-the-go hands free fun, and it still manages to hold a book inside. Exactly what I was looking for!

Such a great purse! It's a little smaller than I had hoped (it couldn't fit my iPad), but it's a great travel crossbody and I plan on using it while I travel!

I love this purse. It looks so stylish. You can still look good while running errands in sweats or jeans. It is the perfect size. I love the outside flap that really is a zippered section. All of my valuables are placed in there and anything extra in the front pocket. The leather is quality and looks a little worn, but that adds to the character and style of the purse. This was a great buy.

The color is a lighter sort of golden brown color, different that in than in the photo. Also, the leather is really thin and cheap feeling and has some glossy shiny finish on it making the bag look even cheaper. The straps are mostly made of brown cotton canvas material with just a small leather shoulder pad on the top of the strap. There is no zipper closure for the top of the bag itself, instead there is a zipper as decor for the flap part. I was expecting a much nice purse for that price. I'm returning now.

I love this purse! I will be using it to create a holster style steampunk purse for riding on my motorcycle. It is the perfect size to carry everything I need. Love the soft leather and the zippered compartment is a nice bonus.

This is a great everyday bag. I am very satisfied with my purchase! This is a beautiful bag that is high quality. Thank you, Zappos, for the fast shipping!
