Frye Ilana Harness Shopper’s Tote Bag - Leather (For Women)

I am a big fan of this brand, and own several Frye bags-- I'm always looking for something new and fun to add to my collection. I waffled between the colors, but ended up purchasing this in the grey color because it is totally unlike anything else I own and goes nicely with almost any outfit. It is just perfect--large enough to hold everything I might want to carry around with me on outings or short trips (a little too nice for work and too big for me to use as an every-day bag). I think the leather is stunning and the bridle/harness hardware trim is a nice bonus. I like the shape of this bag--shallow and wide, not too deep. Leather lined, with a small removable zip bag (can be snapped into place). It is rigid enough to stand on its own and the handles are firmly stitched and are definitely strong enough to support the weight of the bag when loaded down. The leather is thick and rich--this bag will last for years. Seems like an expensive purchase but I have seen this bag at a far higher price in other stores and online. I had to restrain myself from buying the bag in cognac, too (luckily sold out now!)
