Roma LeathersGenuine 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.

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.

I gave this purse 5 stars, though I don't exactly 'love' it, this purse was exactly what I was looking for and needed. The downside is that it's small, yet with all the pockets I desire in a purse, but I couldn't fault the design for me not liking the size. Although, I'm not one of those big bag kind of people, I do like a purse big enough to carry all the things I like to carry. Some of my friends comment how heavy my purses would be, but if they needed something, they knew they could just ask me because I might just have what it in my purse. But those days are gone now, physical abilities have diminished greatly and heavy purses I can no longer tolerate.I first saw a purse like this on tv, at a very expensive price! So I went to amazon to see what I could find and this was it. It's supposed to be leather, smells like it's leather. I believe this purse will stand the test of time, and I could fit my downsized version of things I like to carry. Since I use two canes these days, I love the long adjustable strap so I can put an arm through it and carry it without getting in the way of my canes.I think there is one down side to it and that is after you put your stuff in it, it's hard to get at the change.I like the zippered coin purse like function where my id, license and cards fit nicely and the change fits the best for ease of use. I would definitely recommend this to anyone. Especially those who encumbered with canes, crutches, and wheelchairs. No more big purses that cause additional pain needlessly! This purse fulfilled all my expectations for the better. Oh, and to describe the size, because the photos really don't do it justice. The purse size is about as long as from my elbow to my wrist and the circumference expands not much wider than my forearm.
