Foley & Corinna

I reviewed this bag before using it, and wanted to update my review. The bag is still a winner, but I agree with the other reviewer who warned not to overfill the bag as it can run heavy. Also, the handle drop is not quite long enough to allow you to get the bag on your shoulder with one arm (you need to hold the handles with your left hand and slide your right arm through to get it on your right shoulder). Not a huge complaint but irritating in busy airport lines etc. Beyond that, it is a great bag.

It is unfair to review a bag without actually using it first, but I just received this bag in nude and it is beautiful. The leather is soft. The lining is fine. The handle feels good to the hand and shoulder. Drop is the right length (I am 5'7"). Hardware, as other reviewers noted, is minimal but classy; substantial without being heavy. The pockets just right. The bag smells good. No ugly tags or obnoxious designer logos (Michael Kors). I like it. A lot. I will alter my review or re-review if, after using, I feel differently but so far this bag is a winner.

Foley and Corinna makes a great bag. The mid city tote is large, so is carried best by girls 5'9" at least. Soft, easy to carry, molds to body, big but not too big. Colors galore. Watch out for counterfeits, they are everywhere online. Buy from a reputable store.

This is a great little crossbody, for days when you don't want to carry your larger handbag. I use this for shopping on the weekends, going to the movies, out to dinner, festivals, wine tasting, etc. It's got great organization - two large compartments, and a compartment in the middle that has a key fob to hold your keys. Then there are two OTHER compartments, with credit card slots so you do not have to put in a separate small wallet. It's fantastic. My iPhone goes on one side, my keys in the middle, along with cards, cash, and then lipstick and other small sundries in the other large compartment. It also works great as a separate wallet for workdays, carried inside a larger tote. My only gripe, and hence the four stars, is the zipper. The zipper extends out past the wallet itself, but the problem is, it's tacked down to the side, with no option to unsnap it. So it's a cumbersome working the zipper over that curve to get it closed, especially on those running around days. You have to hold the zipper straight with one hand, and pull with the other to get it around smoothly and close the wallet. Frustrating, especially since in every other aspect, it's so convenient. Other than that, the leather is fantastic, as is the twill lining, and the high end YKK zippers.

I just purchased this bag in the color Sky, and they are already sold out of the color (it was a nice pale blue, perfect for spring). The prices on these bags seem to fluctuate a lot (this style has been a standby for the brand for many, many seasons so colors from previous seasons are often available) so if you see a sale price it would be best to jump on it while you can. The leather is really soft, but the one I got does have an almost pebbled effect to it that I wasn't expecting. The pockets on the inside and outside are nice, the way the bag folds over is cute, but it doesn't have a real closure at the top, so you'd have to be careful about how much stuff you want to put in there. Its big enough to hold a small laptop or ipad in the extended position, which is nice if you have stuff you want to cart around. The color I got doesn't have contrast stitching like the one in the video. My only real issue with the bag is that the shoulder strap is not adjustable, and its just way too short for me. I'm 5'10" tall, and the bag hangs to about my waist, not down to my hip as in the picture, creating a disappointing fanny pack effect. I can hold the bag in the extended position with my arms at my side without the bag touching the ground, so it's OK to carry that way or putting the handles on my shoulder it looks fine, and I'm still on the fence whether to return the bag because I did get a really good price on it. As always, Zappos shipped the bag to me unbelievably fast and in perfect condition. Thanks to their 365 day return policy I have PLENTY of time to contemplate returning the bag.

I have had this bag for a year and I still use this. It is perfect when I don't want to carry a large bag. The color is a beautiful raspberry and the leather is soft and supple. I am 100% satisfied with this purchase. The cherry on top is the fantastic customer service. I ordered this bag late afternoon and received the bag within 24 hours! Customer service is what keeps me coming back.

Great bag! Super soft leather. The only complaint is the shoulder strap, which if a tad longer could make it a very comfortable cross-body bag.

I was really excited to get this bag. Since I travel quite frequently it looked large enough to hold everything I would need while travelling. Unfortunately, when the bag came I was disappointed on several levels. First, I didn't love the quality of the leather. It was a bit stiff for my taste. But overall the bag looked OK, not as stylish as I had hoped. It was not until I began to use the bag that I really was let down. I have worn the bag maybe 20 times and the stitching on both parts of the handle/shoulder strap started to unravel. I will need to pay to have this repaired as it is just getting worst each day. Next, the liner is beginning to seperate from the leather near where the snaps are located, on both sides, it's like a hole is forming. Then the zipper pull from both the inside pocket and the outside pocket has come apart. I can't believe that a bag as expensive as this would be of such poor quality. I own quite a few designer bags, some I have paid much more, some I have paid much less, but this one is by far the worst quality I have every purchased. I won't buy this brand again.

I love my new red bag! I bought the black a month back and loved it so much that I bought the red one. The quality is terrific and so surprised how much it can hold.

I bought this in venom. I would marry it but I am already married. It is super soft, super big, super versatile, super hip (though luxurious) and the perfect amount of pockets. It goes with everything.

This bag is super cute; however, the strap was not long enough for a true cross-body (I am only 5' tall, wearing it as a cross body left the bag at my mid-lower back) and the strap is not adjustable. I was majorly disappointed, if only the strap was longer or adjustable, I would have kept it.

Pretty case but very disappointed in quality. Case has a great soft silicon feel to it and design on back is beautiful but the case is sooooo loose. It slides on verrrry easily. Would like it more if the silicon was a big more snug to my phone. I feel like when I throw it in my purse the case is going to come off! Not worth the money I spent for it but I do love the color and design.

I love this bag! It is holding up beautifully under constant use by me. This bag can hold a lot and I love the different carrying options (cross body, shoulder, arm). It has great pockets, zippers and color (venom).

This is a gorgeous bag! I bought this to take on the plane to carry iPad, passports etc so i could be hands free. This holds all of my items. The quality is excellent very soft rich leather.

The bag seems fabulous, but I wonder about not being able to close the bag at all. No zipper, no magnetic closure? Otherwise it is a great bag with lots of organizational storage solutions and a coin pouch! I love it, but I feel I need some closure!

My bag just arrived and I'm looking forward to using it. The leather is beautiful and the overall quality of the purse is clearly very good. The interior pocket is large, with an attractive zipper that extends down the side. The appearance is sophisticated and classic. It will hold a lot while holding its shape.

I bought this little pouch because I like the styling of other Foley & Corinna bags. However this one felt really cheap for the price, it had an odd leather smell and although it is a cute concept, I returned it. When I opened the pouches they were lined with a cheap silky fabric. It seems that the compartments open up too sloppily and the style feels lost in a sea of other purses like this. I was looking for a more originality and attention to better craftsmanship.

Great small bag for going out, or when you just do not want to lug around a giant bag. I wish the strap was adjustable and maybe a little wider? It seems a bit fragile. But I like using it without the strap too. Decent leather, felt way better than the Rebecca Minkoff Mini Mac I tried (it felt too soft - cheap).

This professional looking bag is crafted beautifully and the leather feels nice to the touch. The straps rest comfortably both on my shoulders and on the crook of my elbow. The closing strap seems like it would take some time getting used to, but a slight tug to the inner handle helps get the strap out smoothly. Despite all these positives, the fact that the Simpatico does not have any feet still bothers me! I think it really takes away from the overall practicality this bag has to offer. Also, as a petite person (5' 2"), the shoulder drop and the dimensions of the bag make me appear even more petite so I will sadly be returning it.

This is a very versatile handbag -- I ordered it in an electric blue and am thinking of getting the black. I love how lightweight it is and that it does look very stylish worn all three ways! It's even better that I got it on sale here at Zappos and it arrived the next day! Zappos never fails.
