Customer Reviews Frye Melissa Button Crossbody

Got this purse for my wife and she loves it! The purse is very soft leather and is comfortable to wear, she loves this bag and is very happy with it. The only downside is the bag is made in China and for the price I think that sucks!

Love this bag, I have the dark brown; has a beautiful, vaguely distressed look without looking like it's been run over by an 18 wheeler and holds everything I need - not to big , not too small!

I absolutely LOVE this bag! I was looking for something crossbody, with a zipper, an outside pocket and big enough to carry my iPad mini, but small enough to be light and easy to carry around. This bag does all that, plus has a lanyard inside to hook my keys to so I don't have to dig for them. My only small complaint is that the way the zipper is designed it can get stuck when you open it all the way and it takes two hands to close it. I have the wine color which is a gorgeous plum-purple color.

I've had this bag for 2 years now - it sees action when I use my giant wallet (Lauren clutch by Hobo for size reference), my glasses in a hard case, keys, lip balm, iPhone 6S, 3 pens, plus a notebook in the side pocket. If I need a second pair of glasses - I need to grab a bigger bag *queue Jaws music*, but I could still fit in a bottle of contact solution if I had to. It can hold more flotsam and jetsam, but I prefer a less cluttered look when I unzip. After hard use, and I am hard on my bags, it looks mostly the same. I have scratched the leather up, but it looks more like a rustic patina. The antique-ing on my button is clearly being worn off, and it looks brassy at the top of the dome. Does it bother me? Nah. I love that this sucker doesn't have any peeling edge-cote, to me that's the worst in a designer bag. I want to use my stuff for decades and this bag feels like a survivor. I'm most impressed with the cavernous insides, this is one of the few cross bodies that looks smallish to me, but holds my ride-or-die wallet. If you also prefer a big ____ but you can't find a small purse to fit it, try this baby out! It's bigger on the inside and it's mostly indestructible. My lining is still in good shape, my hardware all works perfectly, and other than surface scratching which looks awesome on this bag it's aged very well.

I got this bag about two months ago while on vacation. This is my first Frye purchase, however I've known of the brand for about five or six years. I went with the Cognac color and it has beautiful highs and lows of brown with a smidgen of red undertones, it's simply beautiful! It was between the Cognac and the Dark Brown, they're very similar but the Dark Brown has no red undertones and is a richer, deeper color. The quality of the leather is superb! In addition the make of the bag is done remarkably well. The bag will hold a medium sized catch all, a small wallet, a phone, keys and shades in a soft case with a little room to spare. The cross body strap is just wide enough that it's comfortable across the body without digging into the shoulders. One thing I learned about this company is that they've been around for 150 years, so I'm sure it's safe to say they know what they're doing when it comes to leather hides and making items out of them. I do wish all their stuff was made in the USA though, that's little bit of a let down but what is today? I love how Frye encourages us to take our shoes/bags on adventures and if they mark up it's ok, it's a memory left on them, they don't have to look perfect. I would absolutely recommend this bag and brand to someone. I've already added a favorites list of shoes/boots I want next!!!!!

Love, Love, Love!!! I had my eye on this bag for some time. I finally sprang for it and purchased for myself for my B-day. I decided on the neutral beige color and I love it. I like rustic leather. Yes, it's made to have scratches on it. Some don't like this but I do. It is lined, has interior pockets & a key fob... big 'must haves' for me. And my larger than most cell phone (Samsung S6) fits into one of the two interior pockets. I haven't used it for long but no complaints yet.

This is a gorgeous bag and very well made. The beige color is yummy, and the ice color is beautiful as well. A lot fits in it. I am petite, so it was too large for me as a cross body, which is what I am looking for. I was a little sad about returning it because it is so beautiful, but I ended up with the right bag I needed.

High quality, beautiful bag for everyday use. Plenty of storage pockets & zippers to keep you organized.

Size is thin but can easily fit an iPad, wallet, snacks, etc. It has a clip for keys, an inside zip pocket, and an outside pocket for easy phone access. Color was true to picture on the website. Super cool purse and the leather quality is great. Love it!

This is my third Frye bag. I originally ordered this bag for a cruise because I needed a small bag to just fit my phone and my room key, with that being said, I didn't end up using this bag because it was bigger than what I needed it for. BUT I do use this bag as an every day handbag. It's a medium sized crossbody bag, so I can still fit everything I normally would, without it being too heavy. I've been using this one so much that I don't ever use my other two Frye bags. I LOVE the outside pockets. I really wish the Melissa's Hobo and Satchel had outside pockets. But anyway, this has become my favorite every day purse. It's very soft and I love that the scratches add character to your handbag. I have taken this bag in the pouring rain and never had to worry about it. I've had this bag for months and it still smells as amazing as the first day I received it. I would recommend this bag for someone who is looking to purchase their first Frye bag. It's not too small and it's not too big. It's the perfect medium sized bag.

This was my first Frye bag, and more have followed since. It's my most casual, and perfect for everyday use-- wonderful to use with jeans and boots. The leather has a lot of character, and is extremely soft. It's a great, medium-size crossbody bag that is very cool without being ostentatious.

Love love love this bag so much that I had to buy another one in a different color! Super nice quality.

I bought this purse about a month ago and I must say after going through various brands including Frye, this is the perfect bag for me.

Just this purse yesterday & I am in love. I will always carry Frye bags from now on, The little lanyard for your keys has won me over, the organization, everything. I cannot say enough about this bag. Go for it' you won't be disappointed

I purchased this a month ago and love it! I wish it was just a bit larger!

I love everything about this bag except the size. It's just a bit too big for me. And since it is my issue I see no reason to give it less than five stars. It is made of beautiful leather and will hold just about everything but like I said, I prefer a bit smaller bag for my everyday.

This bag is the perfect size! It is big enough for all of my daily items but not too bulky. I have had many compliments on it too! It will be a bag that I use for a very long time!

This is my go-to travel bag. All my must-haves easily fit, including my 9" iPad Pro.

I don't need a large purse because I'll fill it with stuff I don't need. The leather is buttery and is just getting better looking with age. Fabulous purse that is classy without being too much.

I bought this bag because I was having shoulder surgery and wanted something I could wear without carrying and it would free up my hands. The bag is beautiful. Color is great, looks a little distressed. It fits my full size wallet, keys, phone and a few standard makeup items.

The size of this purse is absolutely perfect. It helps me to not overstuff with non-essentials. The zipper is strong, a big plus.

After going to our local mall store that sells Frye I rubbed and touched this purse but the problem was that they were scuffed and scratched. I decided to order from Frye and I was so impressed with how perfect it was when I got it. The wrapping and protection on my purse was impressive. I LOVE the purse . It is so comfortable and stays on my shoulder great. It is a beautiful product.

Love this purse and the color. Exactly what I was looking for. Love that I can zip up the top so makes it more secure. Leather is so soft and continues to wear in.
