Take this impressive sling on your next adventure. Designed by Peruvian artisan Berardo Santos, the bag is handcrafted of leather in the style of colonial handicrafts, its brown surface accentuated with embossed floral motifs. It drapes over the shoulder on an adjustable strap. A twist lock closure opens to reveal a simple interior with a pocket on the side.

So many people tell me they like my purse. I always tell them it is Fair Trade from Novica. Mine was the only one at the time, but I have since seen similar ones by the same artist recently. The leather tooling is incredible.

This bag is absolutely beautiful. I ordered two more from the same craftsman. I am also on a waiting list for a fourth one, just like this. Great Christmas gifts. I bet he is having a hard time keeping up with the demand.

I was really, really hoping to like this messenger bag. But the leather is extremely (and I mean extremely) stiff. Definitely not soft leather. But the major problem is that the strap is so unnecessarily long that the bag is essentially unusable. The strap is 60 inches long. That is a five foot shoulder strap! And it is NOT adjustable. Seriously? The bag is only a few inches off the ground when it is on my shoulder and it is very cumbersome. Unless you are seven feet tall, I would NOT buy this. The only way I can use this is if I take it to a shoemaker and pay and have the strap shortened. But I dont know if I will do that since the leather is so stiff. I am extremely, extremely disappointed. This was a total waste of money. I wish I had not bought this. Novica should talk to the artist and have him redesign the strap. The current strap design is a total FAIL. I recommend that you buy something else.
