Roma Leathers Genuine Cross Body Purse Bag, Multi-Pocket, Black

I've had this little purse barely two weeks so I can't speak to how well it will hold up over time, but it SEEMS very well made. I am pleased. I read the one star reviews and find myself wondering if they received a completely different purse than I received. First, mine does not stink - at all. The zippers appear to be strong. It looks and feels like a quality purse. Now for details:It measures 8 3/4 tall x 6 3/4 wide, and has MANY pockets. The very top, main compartment is zippered . There are no inside pockets or dividers in this largest compartment of the purse.On the front of the purse there are two zippered compartments. They are roomy. I can put my hand all the way down in them easily. Then there is a rounded zippered pouch on the front that zips almost all the way around, but not quite all the way to the bottom on either side. It has cloth slots inside, on the purse side, for three credit cards. My credit cards fit snugly enough that they won't fall out easily, but not so snug that they are at all difficult to take out. On the flap side, it has a clear "window view" pocket for your drivers license. Again, my driver license fits snugly enough not to fall out, but not so snug as to be difficult to take out (unlike in my wallet!!).My Samsung S7 phone, which is in a slightly clunky case, fits easily in the larger of the two front compartments. Room to spare on both sides, but if it were much taller it would be too tall to zip the compartment. It does not fit in the smaller front compartment, nor in the rounded credit card pouch.An LG G3 phone in a slightly clunky Otterbox case is a hair too tall for the larger of the front pockets. It fits in the pocket VERY comfortably, with room to spare on both sides, but is a tad too tall to zip the compartment. Without the Otterbox, I THINK it would just barely zip. And of course it is too tall for the smaller pocket.The BACK of the purse has one zipper compartment. My Samsung S7 fits very comfortably in it and the compartment zips up, but if it were much taller, it would not zip. The LG G3 fits comfortably in this back pocket, but again, it is too tall for the compartment to zip. Without the Otterbox I THINK it might zip. Not positive though.Further down on the back there is a flat pocket with no zipper. It is a perfect fit for the LG G3. The top of the Otterbox shows slightly, but since it happens to be black like the purse, you don't even notice it. It is a snug enough fit that it doesn't fall out easily, but if I turn the purse upside down, the phone WILL fall out. It is not so snug as to be the slightest bit difficult to take the phone out quickly when you need it. It slips in and out of this pocket easily, but would only fall out by itself if the purse is turned upside down.Of course, the LG G3, in its Otterbox, fits VERY EASILY, with room to spare on the sides and the top, in the main (center) compartment of the purse. I think most phones would fit in that compartment. The opening is 5 1/4 inches across. A phone 7 1/2" tall would fit in the main compartment. The LG G3, in its Otterbox cover, is less than 6 1/4" tall.If I make the strap as LONG as it goes, it is 26" long on each side. In other words, if I hang the purse on a hook and measure from the hook (the top of the strap) down to the metal circle that holds the strap on one side of the purse, it measures 26 inches.And of course, there is a metal circle on the other side of the purse and from the top of the strap to THAT metal circle is also 26 inches.If I make the strap as SHORT as it goes, it is then doubled and is 13 1/4" long on each side. In other words, if I hang it on a hook and measure from the hook (the top of the strap) down to the metal circle that holds the strap on one side, it measures 13 1/4" inches. And of course, there is a metal circle on the other side of the purse and from the top of the strap hanging on a hook to THAT metal circle is also 13 1/4 inches.Overall, it seems like a very nice purse, and as of right now, I do recommend it.

Well Well Well...Finally found a purse that I can wear to the grocery store or places where I want to be "hands free".PROS:- YESSSSS...IT'S LEATHER AND IT SMELLS LIKE LEATHER =) I happen to LOVE that smell. Confirms it's authentic...Right! Even has a "Genuine Leather" tag and a "Handcrafted Genuine Leather" tag attached to a chain on the purse.- Hands free ease anywhere you need it.- Larger than a wallet...yet compact enough to take along everything you need.- The interior can hold a full sized checkbook wallet without any problem...approx 8" deep for whatever you like (but I did buy a new slender black wallet with RFID Blocking to protect and secure my credit cards from being scanned by those who can otherwise steal my information. It was suggested as a product that others buy with the purse and I just ordered that today...so I will update that separately after it arrives.- Back on this purse has a top zipper area that is approx 6.5 inches deep and lined completely separate from the top interior access.- I LOVE that there is an open back pocket (under the zipper) that is the perfect size for my Note 4 Phablet. Held against me, no one can see it yet it's easy access for me. Approx 6 inches deep x 4-4.5 inches wide.- Front top zipper pocket opens and can fit anything all the way to the bottom of the purse yet remains separated from the inside area. Approx. 6.5 inches deep from the zipper to the bottom.- Middle zipper pocket also goes to the bottom of purse in a separate lined area. Approx 5.5 inches deep to close zipper.- Front lower zipper pocket on the front has a place to carry 3 credit cards, business cards or whatever you want to carry while facing another clear window pocket for your drivers license or ID. This is approx 4.5 inches deep to close zipper.- The strap is plenty long for adjusting so it hangs across the body and rests at the hip without any problem and can be doubled to throw over a shoulder.- COST...go figure...I only paid $12.65 Prime for all that! Can't remember when I last got a deal this great. The wallet even cost more!CONS:- Hmmmmm...Let me use it and I'll have to follow up at a later date because I can't think of a thing yet.If you lost count of all the zippers and compartment this purse has...so did I. LOLYoung or old...this is great to meet many needs.If you're thinking about it now...and haven't stopped reading...GO AHEAD AND BUY IT!You won't be disappointed...unless you don't like the smell of leather. lol

For the money it is an excellent value. It smells like leather and to me, it smells good and not bad as others have experienced. I have been looking for a small organizer purse for awhile since I need to replace the one I have used for over 5 years.This is a very organized little purse with 5 different zippered areas and a slip pocket in the back. I usually carry a large purse but for times that I might be walking around a lot, an outdoor venue, traveling, or touring I like to carry a small cross body purse with basic necessities. For these times, I will only carry ID, credit cards, keys, phone, a comb, lipstick, mints, a tiny mirror and sunglasses. Depending on your phone size, if you want to carry more than basics, this purse may be too small for you. My Note 5 is in a bulky Defender Otterbox (6.25" X .5" in case) and it fits nicely in the back slip pocket though it sticks out of the top about 3/4 of an inch - not too loose or too tight and easily accessible. The only zippered area my phone can fit lengthwise and able to zip up is the main compartment. The card organizer fits cards and ID perfectly. The slip pocket is quite roomy and can fit a regular bottled water - however, due to the narrow width (front to back) of the purse, if you put a water bottle there, you would be very limited in what you could put in the other sections.
