Piazza Olivia Satchel

This bag is very attractive, and I like that it's not too "blingy" and screaming a brand name. It's a bit smaller than I expected, but I love the three pockets. It's very easy to keep organized. I'm able to fit a couple diapers and a travel pack of wet wipes in one zippered section, my wallet and phone in the middle, and my iPad fits perfectly in the third section. It's a bit too small for my camera, though, which is a bummer. I'm 5'7" and I've found that the long shoulder strap works well for cross-body wear, which is a feature I love. It's very versatile. I do think that the shorter handles could be a bit longer to more easily wear on my shoulder.I have to say, though, that I'm disappointed by the quality overall. The leather scratches easily. I've owned it for a few weeks now and I noticed today that the coating on the edges of the leather where the handles connect with the rings has cracked and the folded leather is coming apart. It still looks okay, but I'm wondering how long it will hold up--the leather looks rather thin and flimsy. I haven't had any issues so far with the lining, but that, too, seems kind of cheap and I'm wondering how long it will hold up. Overall I'm kind of kicking myself for not just saving my money and investing in a quality brand name bag.

Last month, I purchased the Piazza Olivia Satchel (Black). I just used it for the first time today. I am very pleased with it. It is as I expected it to be. I would have preferred the two carrying handles to be longer so I could use it as a shoulder bag. Of course it did come with a long strap for crossbody use. Early last year, I also purchased the larger version of the this bag, the Piazza Olivia Tote (in Tan). The Tote is 4 inches taller and can carry a small laptop computer. The Satchel is smaller, but still accomodates my 10 in tablet plus a fold-up embrella very well. I love both bags and will use the Tote for weekdays and the Satchel for weekends. I love the leather that is use in the handbag. I can get lots of personal items in both bags. I especially love the roomy, top triple-entry zip compartments in each bag. Have received lots of complements on this style.

A very well constructed handbag. The pictures are spot on. I am not easy on a handbag tending to carry everything and then some wherever I go. My only complaint is the weight. Because of the excellent leather construction it is a little on the heavy side. That coupled with the fact I tend to carry the kitchen sink around lends itself to having to carry it more as a satchel than an over the shoulder handbag. All in all I am very pleased with my purchase.

Perfect size for everyday and allows you to stay organized....a place for everything.

The purse is beautiful. The only thing I would suggest is to indicate the size- small, medium, large or extra large. Pictures are deceiving and I find dimensions hard to visualize. The bag is medium-sized. Had I known that from the beginning I would not have purchased it. Now I can only use it for special occasions when I do not need to carry as much 'stuff'. I can not use it for every day usage.

This is a gorgeous bag, great quality leather and zippers. Lots of storage space and compartments. Only negative is the shoulder strap is too short to use as a crossover strap (which probably doesn't matter to most buyers anyway). The color is a little lighter than the picture shown, but still very beautiful bag!

A good leather bag fits the description and declared characteristics. This 2 bag brand Piazza, very much. Gives elegance and modernity. My wife and I are satisfied with the purchase. I recommend.

This was a gorgeous bag - I loved it but it didn't quite fit my needs as it wasn't large enough. (It was big for a purse but I want to carry a TON of stuff back and forth from work and this didn't quite cut it.) I had hoped to carry all of my purse junk (I have quite a bit...), my 10" tablet in a case with a keyboard (so thicker than most tablets and bigger overall!), a couple of diapers and wipes for emergencies (not for ME, silly - for my baby!), maybe a small lunch and possibly a zip bag with some parts for pumping at work (for baby, again). So I have a pretty tall order here. This was seriously beautiful - structured, just how I like bags (I cannot stand floppy bags!) and I was so, so tempted to keep it for someday when I'm no longer pumping or toting diapers but decided that was sort of silly - I can pick something out then! (And maybe I'll pick this, ha ha!) I like the outside compartment to hold my cell phone - I hate when a purse doesn't have a super-easy access for my phone! I LOVED the three STRUCTURED separated compartments. I have grown to hate purses with a zipper pocket that spans the middle and separates the purse - everything in that middle pocket just falls to the bottom and before you know it stuff from the two sides are sliding under the "bulge" from the middle pocket and you cannot see or find anything.) I highly recommend this bag - it's beautiful and so classy looking. It's a no-brainer on this one - free returns so you're not even making a commitment to pay shipping back if you decide it's not for you. But if it fits your needs I'm guessing you'll keep it! Important note - I was able to fit my Samsung Note 10.1 tablet with a cover into one of the side pockets and zip it - I didn't have the keyboard cover yet and now I cannot remember if there was quite a lot of room left or not for this thicker case but I'm guessing it would have fit. Just in case you're interested in that!)
