Anuschka Hand-Painted Women's Genuine Leather Crossbody Bag with Triple Compartment & Card Slots - Flap Open Design for Daily Use, Travel, and Work Essentials

WOW! I was NOT expecting anything like this ‘mini’ crossbody clutch - the size, colors (Peacock), functionality and everything else about it! I’m not opposed to spending money for good quality items which I believe will last a long time and not go ‘out of style’. I also don’t like being a walking ‘advertisement’ for a brand’s logo (like the LV letters all over the outside of his items) or to ‘show off’ the price of the merchandise. These lovely bags are not like this either with only one name discreetly painted on one side, the back. This is the first one of this style I bought and it’s not going to be my last - I admit that I did buy other styles and colors by both Anuschka and ‘Anna‘ (Anna being designed by the junior painters). For one reason or another I returned them but not due to any defect or flaws, just my personal choice and needs. This one is a WINNER in my book! The colors are so varied that they blend in with many outfits and seasons plus the size is perfect for carrying ‘essentials’ without the need for a large, bulky handbag. I suggest that the entire description be read as it states what is included in this bag - i.e. a mirror and detachable key fob - there are more features as well. While it’s on the ‘pricey’ side it’s really well worth it - it’s also something that’s so unique that it gets many complements, not like similar priced bags like Coach, Kate Spade, etc. that you see coming and going due to the popularity and availability. For the men out there - great gift idea for your wife, mom, daughter and any other special woman in your life! I am waiting for several more of her handbags to arrive and although the styles and colors are different than this one I’m going to have a difficult time deciding which one (or ones!) to keep! I’m sooo happy that I stumbled upon Anuschka’s line of handbags when ordering her shoes, which by the way are also fabulous and (for me at least) fit well AND are comfortable to walk in. For reference to her shoe sizes - I am usually an 8 1/2-9M depending on the brand and whether they come in 1/2 sizes - if not I always go with the size 9. With her shoes I find them to run large and suggest going down a size (or 1/2 size) - the 8 is a very good fit for me, in width and length. Hope this review helps and happy shopping for Anuschka products! Another related comment - during my handbag searches under ‘related items’ I was lucky enough to find a monogrammed leather keychain that had my initial (E) available and I love it too (another great gift idea that isn’t expensive and would be a unique stocking stuffer, ‘Secret Santa’, or just a general gift for someone be it for yourself or someone else)! The one with this letter is in a black colored floral pattern (the name escapes me as I write this, ? Garden perhaps).
