FURLA Lotus Large Carryall Shoulder Handbag

This bag is very professional looking. My work portfolio fits into it perfectly. Came packaged in large bag to protect it from shipping box. Very pleased with it.

I received a wrong colour I ordered a Beige colour I received Blue one, It's cost if I return the wrong one because I will pay extra tax and courier fees becuase I'm out side on USA I'm susing Shop and Ship account with Aramex. So my claim is a compensation equivalent of 100% of the value of the bag.

I am a huge fan of Furla products. All of my 2 previous purse and wallet purchases have held up over the 10+ years I've own them. They make quality goods. I've been looking for a large carryall to fit not only my own stuff, but my 2 kids misc. things. I was thrilled to see that Furla came out with a large carryall so immediately order it off of Amazon. I have had this bag for only a week. Here is what I noticed after just a week so take it with a grain of salt since I've only had it for a short period of time.What I liked about the bag:1. The leather feels like it's quality. Some expensive brand name bags can actually look like cheap knock offs. This leather is very well made. It's not soft, feels tough and sturdy. If you are going for more a soft leather, dainty, feminine look, this may not be it. But it looks like it will hold up over the years. It definitely looks for "business-ish" than a romantic dinner night out accessory. It actually looks very modern and not outdated (translation: granny bags)2. The zippers are easy to close and open. It easily fits an iPad. It is very very roomy in the main compartment. It actually looks and feels perfect on my small 5'2" frame. Many of the large totes on the market can look disproportional on a petite person.3. The middle magnetic snap closure has to be somewhat "lined up" to click. It's a bit annoying. However even with the magnetic closure secured, the bag actually doesn't collapse, fold in the middle, if that makes sense. You can easily reach in to grab things. Some may see this as not a good safety feature as things may fall out if you accidentally turned it upside down. I can see it happening on an airplane overhead compartment. However, for a mom like me, it's a lifesaver so I don't have to zip open/close my bag every time I want to get something for my kid. I can wear it on my shoulder and reach in to grab stuff with one hand (since most of the time I am carrying my child in the other).What I didn't like as much about the bag (which is why I gave it 4 stars):1. The color is actually a bit darker than what is shown in the picture. I expected a more beige/light sand color. It is just a darker beige. It almost looks a bit dirty to me at first. I've grown used to it and love it now. But just be warned that it is a shade darker then in most of the pictures I've seen on many of the retail websites.2. One shoulder strap stays on the shoulder while the other tend to keep slipping off. I am 5'2" with narrow shoulders so that may be the issue. I have to tuck the outer strap underneath the other one then that solves the problem. But again, it's just a little extra step I have to remember otherwise it keeps slipping off and the bag just tilts and outward and becomes uncomfortable.Overall I would still recommend this bag to someone who is looking for a quality bag for everyday use, for work, school, toting kids nick knacks around that's not a diaper bag. Furla really makes quality bags that are functional and stylish. Love it so far!

I've had the bag for almost a week and get compliments on it every day. Its very roomy but also has great compartments.
