I have just received my brown Scarleton large shoulder bag and I am very pleased! I have been searching obsessively for my "perfect" bag. I was kind of nervous about it after reading some of the reviews, but I dove in and bought it. So far I am very pleased with the size and the color... it is two toned dark brown and brown. I would have liked maybe three more inches on the arm handles but I'm sure it will be fin in the spring and summer(coats are bulky).  I am really considering purchasing this bag in another color! Also it is very, very soft....LOVE IT! I am not usually in to shoulder straps however I am going to give this one a try. It is unassuming in its appearance, the inside is bigger than it looks, and when not in use it can just lay flat without losing character. There are two large separate zippered compartments, inside one is two mini pockets and inside the other is a small zipper pocket. Now for the test run......I will update with usage.

Update: I have found it! I have been exclusively using this bag for a couple of weeks and I love this bag! I have not experienced any of the problems I have read in some of the other reviews. The shoulder strap is a bonus, and very helpful. I just love this bag....going to get the other one in black!
