Handcrafted using techniques passed down from the colonial era, this lovely sling showcases the work of Peruvian artisan Berardo Santos. He works in leather, delicately tooling it by hand to feature embossed rose motifs at the front and back. Draped over the shoulder on an adjustable leather strap, the bag opens with a twist-lock flap to reveal an interior with faux leather at the sides. An open pocket on one side provides space for storing small items.

Very poor design. Strap which is NOT adjustable and it is way too long...”

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.

NONE!

A Handbag With Ancient Symbols, a Must!”

When I saw this handbag with the pre-Hispanic symbols, I knew that I wanted one. Then when I looked at the close views of the workmanship, I was sold. When I received the handbag, I knew that I had made a great choice. The leather tooling is outstanding and the bag is very well made. The shoulder strap is very long so I will probably have it shortened by a leather craftsman from my area. I havent decided yet.
