Cute bag, but too small
I loved the color of this bag....truffle....my all time favorite bag color, and B. Makowsky's truffle is the best.
I did return, because it really is too small. It is like having a clutch. The outside pockets are pretty much useless. I thought it would fit more in, after reading some of these reviews, but it really doesn't hold that much, a wallet, some makeup, keys and that is about it.
I wish this bag was just a couple of inches bigger both length and width. He makes a bag that looks like this but bigger, but it looks too big.
Beautiful bag and the truffle color is perfect.

Perfect little bag
This is my first BMAK bag. I purchased it in black, but might have to go back for the truffle. Has a good amount of room for a small bag. I put my keys and cosmetics in the front pockets. Would like one or two slip pockets on the inside. Leather is very soft, and I can knot the strap when I want to wear it as a short shoulder bag.

Love this purse
This purse is great. The leather is very soft and it holds more than it looks like it would. B. Makowsky purses are great because not only do they look good they are designed to be functional also.

Fantastic bag!!
Best crossover bag I've had. As to the 2 zip pockets in front- I keep my keys and an emergency kit in them. Plenty of room inside and a great pocket for my iPhone in the back. The leather is glove soft. Many compliments from strangers!! Would love to see this bag in purple!

Love this bag!
I ordered this in the blue hoping it would be a true blue since I wanted to use it with blue jeans. It's a perfect color! I was also concerned about the size since I carry a wallet, little zip bag with meds, nail clippers, and other various small items, plus car keys. Everything fits great. The east/west design is really nice because things don't disappear at the bottom but yet it is tall enough to accomodate my wallet and little zipper bag. My iPhone fits in the bottom in the back or inside the bag in the zipper pocket. The leather is super soft and the length of the strap perfect (I'm 5'8"). After I got this bag and liked it so much I ordered another one of the Makowsky crossbody bags that same night! Waiting anxiously for that one to arrive this week.

Outside Pockets are Useless
I thought I had finally found my "weekend" bag. I need 2 outside pockets - one for cell phone, one for keys. These 2 outside pockets are for neither! Why design a purse with pockets if you can't put your cell phone in it! I know he has his "famous" cell phone pocket on the back, but I want mine on the front, and secured with a zipper. I can't fit my hands in the pocket to put my keys in and out. The purse is beautifully made as are all of his purses, but practicality - misses the boat on this one. Bummers.

Perfect East/West Crossbody
I ordered this bag in black and I am very happy with the purchase. The leather is rich-looking, butter-soft, and very stylish with the ruching details. I own many Makowskys and this one by far is the most light-weight. It holds more than meets the eye and the convertibility feature to a clutch is an added plus.
