Great Bag
I am a new convert to cross body bags. This one is so pretty! I love it, My only negative comment is the magnetic clasp has "trouble" finding it's way to close. I have other magnetic bags and this one is the worst but not bad enough not to buy this bag. Just make sure it is closed.

Gorgeous little wonder!
This bag is fantastic. Ordered the Silver Glitz to use as an evening bag -- it's stunning. While it lacks the B. Mak 'signature cellphone pocket' at the back, it has a perfect slip pocket under the front flap, which in this case I prefer (I own over 20 B Mak bags and generally do love the cellphone pocket). The cellphone is securely out of sight and the bag looks slimmer, and more tailored and suitable for day into evening. There's plenty of room for the essentials and then some, including a wallet, make-up and glasses. The front magnetic snap has a clever lower lip, which fits just under the edge of the 'snap button.' This makes it very easy to close without looking: you just use a finger to align this extension at the bottom of the snap and it locks right into place. I am on wait list for this bag in black and am so glad that I did this. It's a real winner.

Big bag girl no more
I normally carry large/medium bags. I would take my Pursefection from bag to bag. I'm very organized and don't carry a lot of junk in my purse. This bag holds all the neccessities
cell, small wallet, compact, small make up bag with lipstick, 2 tubes of lipgloss, travel size perfume and lotion. It all holds my car key and face wipes. It doesn't fit my purserfection but life goes on. Feels great to be hands free/arms free. I have since ordered another B Mak crossbody. Thinking of ordering this bag in crimson, I have the silver and it goes with most everything. I love it.

Best Handbag purchase ever
This bag is simply gorgeous, and very light weight. I have ordered it in the Silver and Crimson color. If they had more color options, I would certainly order another one. The only negative would be the closure, as you have to ensure it is aligned right to snap shut. Since these bags are so pretty, I gave them 5 stars and just pay more attention when closing the bag.

Keep them coming, B.Mak!
As with all B. Mak bags, I couldn't decide which color to get, so I started with black. Now I want more, especially the GoldPython!! It's so nice and elegant and small, but big enough for small necessities. For its size, I like the fact that it doesn't have lots of compartments. The leather is smooth and textured. The attention to detail on all the metallics is exquisite! I really like the chain touch on this one and can't wait to take it this holiday season.

Glitz and Glam!
I received the Gold Glitz Python a couple months ago, and it became my summer bag. I love how lightweight the bag is. The strap is comfortable in crossbody. I love love love the chain detail--it really adds an extra touch of class. I do not like animal prints, but the python print is not overstated and works well with the two-tone color. There is a small slip pocket just under the flap that fits my cell phone perfectly, so I don't need a back slip pocket. Perfect bag, goes great dressed up or in jeans.

Little bag packs a big wallop!
This is a great cross-body if you want a small bag that still fits a normal-sized wallet. I ordered the "silver glitz python". It doesn't seem real snakey, so I like that. Though it is called "silver" it has a very darkish look to it, so it isn't like my plain silver bag that is totally "out there" with regard to the silver color. This has a great metallic look, which I always like, but it is dark rather than bright. I consider it a mottled silver/black look.
The one thing I would change would be the magnet under the front flap pocket. The magnet does stay put, but it isn't a design where the magnet just GRABS to close. I like that type. This type of magnet is one where I need to look at where the magnet is headed and quickly guide it into the receiving magnet.
B. Makowsky purses are always among my favorites. In all honesty, I have switched to his cross-body bags for 2 reasons: (1) the price point is affordable for me and (2) I prefer a smaller handbag.

Perfection
This handbag is perfect! You do not need a cell phone pocket because that would make it look awkward. Plus, this bag isn't for every day use. It's definitely for special occasions! The crimson leather is absolutely gorgeous! Another absolute winner from Mr Makowsky!

Tri-Color Cutie!
Love the texture & gold/silver/bronze color of Gold Glitz Python! Dressy or casual, goes with anything. I am a small bag girl & this holds all my needs. I took a star away for no cell phone pocket on the back. Why not, Bruce?

oh so close...
This is such a pretty little bag...I've been waiting for Bruce to come out with another cute (not old lady-ish) cross body bag. BUT alas, his trademark cell phone pocket on the back is missing! I couldn't believe it. I rely on that pocket for my metro card so I don't have to open the bag when in line at the bus stop or train station. I am so bummed. I will probably return it and just use the B Mak bag I'm currently using. For those of you who aren't fixated on the little back pocket, you'll probably love it. Leather is gorgeous.
