Beautiful, beautiful bag!! Received it and immediately ordered the large tote to carry stuff for my spinning wheel and knitting. I intend to purchase the other purses also. They are gorgeous.
Yes, there is an orange tint to the leather. But don't panic or send yours back. I've owned enough leather purses in my lifetime to know that it will change in color, more so possibly, because it was tanned with natural products. I don't know if I've ever had a bag finished like that before. There was the most adorable handmade notebook tucked inside that I shall cherish. I don't know if I'll ever be able to actually write in it, its that wonderful. But I love it. Handmade cover with very nice paper inside tied up with a natural string! Thank you.
I previously had carried a purse with multiple pockets,  inside and out. I hated it. Many times in frustration, I had to actually dump my stuff out on the floor of where ever I was to actually reach what I was looking for. This purse has the shape that you can dig down deep without emptying. Plus I bought several small zipper cases to organize my stuff, everything fits well.
The only upgrade I can suggest is little ball feet on the bottom.  All high grade purses have them and this is definitely a high end purse at a great price. Such a talented artist to make this. I'm in love!
Sitting in the fence about this purse? Buy it. Embrace the earthy orangish color and watch the leather age. I've never been this pleased before when getting a purse. It's always been, blah, blah, I got a new purse.  I'm in heaven now. And no.....I paid full price for this purse and this is my opinion. Thank you!
