Fossil Carlie Satchel Handbag

Great handbag, with lots of room. Love my handbag.

Love this bag .. has outside pocket and 2 inside . I like the softness of the leather ans smell so good . My new favorite bag .perfect size.

The bag is just okay, not high end quality that I know. The straps makes it look cheap because they are very stiff and has fold mark on them. Not soft leather or whatever material this is made of. I cannot detect leather smell at all so I don’t know. I have fake or vegan leather bags that are better quality and soft to touch. These straps are hard , rough and stiff and uncomfortable on bare shoulders because it rubs on my skin. Also the zippers does not zip open and close smoothly. Pretty sticky. The size of the bag is bigger than it looks online which I like but not much organization pockets. Just 3 fabric pockets inside one with zipper. There is an outer pocket that is shallow and barely fit my iPhone pro max.I will give it a test drive for a week. I might return it if I find anything better on Amazon.Update 10/13/2024—Hard to find a similar style bag of the same size so I decided to keep this. I had a major issue with the strap coming apart. The buckle was lose, did not hold the strap together so the purse kept falling from the first day I wore it. I contacted Amazon and told them the bag was defective and asked if they can send a replacement ASAP because I need it right away for my trip but unfortunately they could not replace it so they just issued a no return refund.My husband took his drill and drilled a smaller hole for the buckle pin to not slide off. It kinda worked. Better but still comes off every now and then. I hate to throw it away so I will just have to find a replacement strap.I added a star for Amazon issuing a no return refund although the quality of the purse was disappointing.Another quality issue that I forgot to mention on my initial review was the fabric liner inside was not sewn properly and there’s a slight diagonal mark on the front side due to the wrinkled fabric on the interior.Overall, I love the size and the style of this Fossil bag. It is not too big yet it holds a lot. I always carry a 16 oz bottle of water, a wallet, a pack of tissues, perfume spray, hand sanitizer, dog leash, dog poop bags, wet wipes, scarf, meds, snacks, compact Bible and a daily planner. It can also fit a folding umbrella. The size looks small, perfect for a petite person like me but it surprisingly holds a lot.So if you can get one without the flaws that I mentioned then this is a great bag to have.I have always been a fan of this brand since the 80’s and always had great quality watches and other accessories purchased from this brand.

This purse is the perfect size for day-to-day use. It’s durable, holds its shape, great leather (soft but durable). The zipper is easy to open and close, even one-handed. The cell phone pocket on the outside holds a large iPhone and it’s easy to take it in and out (even with a rubber cell phone cover that usually sticks). I absolutely love this purse — if you’re thinking about it, no need to hesitate. You’ll love it!

This bag is really nice. The feature I like the most is how adaptable it is with contents. I don't carry around much daily,and the bag looks fine not filled, but when I need to stuff it with a water bottle, extra notebooks, and such, it holds a lot. Another thing I love is that it is not real heavy; some leather bags weigh several pounds before anything goes into them. The zipper works really smoothly, even around the corner. It is a good-looking, high quality bag. I love it.

This bag is a true beauty with the rich, golden brown hue. Quality is there and this is the real thing. This one didn’t come with a key, in fact if you go to the Fossil site, you will also see the photos don’t show a key attached to the bag neither. I bought the Sydney satchel a few years back on the home site and that didn’t come with a key. Idk why some get the key and some have not. It could be the time of when you buy it. I’m not complaining as you can buy one from the site if you really want one. I’m choosing to add an Ohm zipper charm instead anyway. I love this bag! suggested that you spray a leather protector over it for maintenance. I’m definitely going to be doing that and take great care of this one.

This is NOT a Fossil. The buckles are cheap and not the typical bronze with Fossil etched on them. There is NO key and there is NO leather logo on the outside of the bag. I sent this back!

I bought this for my mother's 90th birthday. She wanted a smaller purse. It holds a good bit, but is still small enough for her. It is also really cute.
