4) DESIGNER {inspired} ON A DIME: Saddle Bag

Saddle Bag

Retail Price: $4,200 + $1,200 Strap = $5,400

My Price: $67

Overall Review: 8/10

Pros: The quality of this bag is STUNNING. The "leather" feels incredible - I'm unsure if it's real or not. It smells real. The hardware is solid and in great condition.

Cons: I'm not a huge fan of the functionality of this bag - however, I believe that is a design problem, not a DHGate problem. First of all, the actual shape of the purse is odd (by design obviously). I haven't had the chance to use this baby yet, so I can't say whether or not it holds a lot of items. Secondly, the crossbody strap is awkward when it's attached. Again, this is a design flaw in my opinion. You cannot take the small shoulder strap off and replace it with the long crossbody strap. I thought I was crazy, but after looking, this is just simply how the purse was designed. Huge shame in my opinion for a purse this expensive. And although the shoulder strap came along with the purse, it does not look real. The strap does not look too authentic in my opinion. I'm not a huge fan of the style of the large crossbody strap anyway. It's cute, but just not my style. I don't think I will ever use it, but I do love having a crossbody option. I may try to find a black matte long crossbody option that would work for this bag.

UPDATE: I have used this purse several times now! I have figured out how to clasp the shoulder strap on and hide the mini-strap inside the purse. It actually works really well! I actually really love this purse after using it a few times!

BUY or PASS? My final opinion on this one - I'm in the middle on this one. I saw a girl in Italy carrying this around, so that's really what made me want to purchase. She was using the short strap, so I'm sure that's how I will wear it.

If you are a fan of this style - I would not hesitate on this purchase. The quality truly is perfection!

As far as I know, this purse is very trendy in European countries. So, if you plan on doing some travel, I could see this being a great little purse to travel with! I'll keep ya'll posted on how much I use this one.
