I had been lusting after this bag for some time and when it came on at a ridiculous price, presumably because it was the last one and russet brown may not have been the most popular colour, my fingers hit the "Add to Cart" at lightning speed. And I was not disappointed. This bag is close to perfection in every aspect - the leather is soft, the style compact, a beautiful strap with substantial buckles and zippers, the perfect size for everyday use with eay to access compartments, is unobtrusive as it hugs the body and is stylish beyond belief. I love Fossil bags (this is my third) and intend to purchase another in a different colour (or colours). If you have spent your life searching for the perfect bag then search no more. I have not taken this off since I got it. Its a dream of a bag and the ultimate crossbody.

Update. I succumbed-I bought another in tomato, which is a glorious clear red. Forgot to mention the strap is backed with a soft canvas webbing which makes the leather less stiff and this flexibility makes it super easy to wear. i know its greed but am looking at one in blue. However how often do you find a bag which fulfills all your bag needs and desires?
