MG Collection Marissa Top-Handle Doctor Shoulder Bag

I purchased the MARISSA Blue Office Tote Top Double Handle Doctor Style Bowler Handbag as a gift for a friend on Mother's Day. She mentioned that the gift was a wonderful surprise, she is very happy with the gift, quality, size and beautiful design of this handbag. She is the type of person that loves purchasing expensive pocketbooks/handbags, so I was concerned about the quality of this handbag. In our conversation she stated that she is very impressed with the MARISSA Handbag, it has a shoulder strap that can be used, or it can be held by the handles. She was also impressed that it looks like a "real leather" handbag, and many people cannot tell the difference. She states it is soft, and made of good quality materials. She has received many compliments on this handbag. She loves the amount of room inside the handbag which is great. I informed her that this handbag is available in various colors. and I purchased the blue, since it is one of her favorite colors. She also stated "I know you would not divulge the amount spent on this gift, I believe it cost you at least $200, and was expensive." I am impressed that she believes it cost more than the reasonable price it is listed for on the Amazon website from the company. I asked her when did she receive the package, and was also impressed by the speed of delivery, and the time it took for her to receive this gift. The company has displayed/described this handbag as advertised. They have done a tremendous job with advertising this handbag, packaging the product, the price is reasonable, delivery time was excellent, and the quality of this handbag looks more expensive than the reasonable price listed for the product. I would recommend this handbag to Amazon customers who are searching for a nice handbag (available in various colors) to give someone as a gift, or to purchase for themselves. She is very happy, appreciates and loves the fact that I have given her such a wonderful gift

Holy Cow is this bag amazing. It's actually a little bit larger than what I had anticipated (since I myself am quite short/smallish), but it's still manageable and easy to carry :) It's pretty useful should you be using it as a working bag, since you can put so much stuff inside, as well as an everyday bag. I get so many compliments on it whenever I'm out and about running regular errands as well, and it makes storing my bulky wallet, reusable bag, water bottle, tissues etc. extremely easy, especially since it has a little pouch within the main section of the purse. It's really beautiful in my opinion and considerably durable (so far since having it for a couple of months), I absolutely LOVE the doctor style handles on the bag with the option of the shoulder strap, as I do love my cross-body bags, as well as carrying handles style, it's extremely convenient especially on the go, the only thing that I had an issue with in the beginning was that the bowler/doctor straps were a bit short of my liking, as you can't really hike the bag onto your shoulder, but looking at the bag proportions in general, I've grown to love it the way it is, as it's pros majorly outnumber the cons. I have taken this bag on road trips and grocery stores, and I must say that this is one of the best/(possibly the best) bags I've ever found and purchased, especially at the super affordable cost.

Edited November 25, 2015 at Amazon's Request: This is not the same bag as I ordered last year. It has many of the same features and color is the main differential. It is still a fantastic manmade bag worthy of its full price and then some. I noticed almost if not fully similar bags with different high priced names for quite a bit more. Quite a bit equals more than double the price. Edited November 14, 2015: This is my ideal everyday bag for several reasons. It has space galore for anything I normally use and then space left over for other items. It is sturdy so that when I open the top I can find what I seek with little to no wasted time. It is easy to open and close and the added shoulder strap makes shopping in a store where you have to lean over or reach up you do not have to worry about dumping the contents. Its interior provides 5 little pockets to hold little pocket items and access them with ease. I would have preferred leather, but this synthetic material is just as stylish and looks exactly as you would expect the leather to look. Forget the material because at this price point it cannot be beat. Even if it only lasted for one season, it is still a good deal. The 'brass' will not hold up based on my experiences with brass-plated products, and especially on the pressure points on this bag. That is the only reason for dropping the rating from 5 to 4. Otherwise it is a fine bag and I use it everyday.

This is a beautiful bag and looks to be worth ten times the cost. Actually, I've seen $300 bags that aren't as pretty. I bought the orange and it's a lovely, rich pumpkin shade. Perfect for fall. It came well packaged in a sturdy box with an airbag inside the purse, the hardware wrapped in tissue paper and it was encased in a protective bag. I love it so much I just ordered the same bag in taupe. Edited for second bag ordered: Unfortunately, I should have stopped when I was ahead. I loved the orange bag so much I ordered one in taupe. As soon as I saw the box on my doorstep I hoped it was something other than my purse. Much flatter than the shipping box before. The beautiful purse was mashed and forced into the flat box. The first purse had a full airbag in it to protect the shape, the second a bag with very little air in it. I've tried to reshape it without success. There are dents and creases that won't come out and the zipper is warped. The properly packaged purse looks like a top shelf glass case item and I've gotten swooning comments on it. The improperly packaged/damaged one looks like a loner on the clearance shelf and will likely be returned. Still this is a beautiful style bag and well-made. I would be giddy to have it (undamaged!) in a classy gray with silver or pewter hardware.

UPDATE: I carried this purse for maybe 6 weeks and the hardware holding the handles on has broken. Repairable if I can ever find a nut small enough to fit on the teeny tiny screw and reassemble it. But seriously, to quote my good friend Sweet Brown, "Ain't nobody got time for that." Original review: This purse is pretty nice - not the greatest, but ok. It is slightly small for what I like to carry with me, but it does have a nice outside pocket for phone. The pocket is not large enough for phone and keys, but at least having a pocket for my phone is good. The handles are also kiss of short making hanging this purse over your arm while wearinga winter coat difficult. Over all it is pretty, it is basically what I like in a purse but ultimately just lacks something for me.

I really love this purse. The shape of the body is perfect - large enough to hold all my stuff (including an 8.9" Kindle Fire), but still lightweight and durable enough to just pick up and go. The burnt orange color is beautiful and it definitely looks more expensive than it is. I so wanted to give it five stars because I love the handle, the purse and the color...but I have a lot of trouble with the zipper. Enough to knock a whole star off, but not enough to consider it a "defect" and return it. What I got for the price is definitely worth it. Update: I have now had this purse for a whole year and the zipper has loosened up and resolved itself. The bag looks as good as when I bought it. I get compliments like crazy. I own seven purses and in the past year have carried this bag exclusively even though the orange color is not a bright orangey, but a beautiful pop of fall-like color. I am massively in love with it and have adjusted my review from a 4 star to a 5 star.

I love this purse. I just got it last week and this purse looks like it's worth over $200. It is soft, spacious and looks elegant. I have received several compliments and even my brother noticed it and wants to get one for his wife. The orange color is not too bright. It actually looks very nice and it is almost the color of a pumpkin. I was concerned that it may be too bright, but it wasn't. It is easy on the eyes and give a pop of color, especially in the fall. The handles are only long enough to be carried by hand, but it does have a strap that can be added to it. It is not heavy (depends on how much you can fit) but like I mentioned before, it is soft fabric. Stitching is perfect and the hardware of the purse doesn't look cheap at all. I personally love it even though I was doubtful when I got it. Not any more. It's definitely worth the money and will make a nice Xmas gift.

I was very skeptical about ordering this bag because I've never purchased any bags from Amazon before. All the stores around me don't carry bags in the style that I favor. I've searched all over the place but nothing caught my attention until I came across this one on Amazon. Since I was in desperate need of a new bag, I risked ordering this one. I'm not one of those people who invest hundreds of dollars into a bag. The max I'd spend is $20-$30. This was close to $40 , which was kind over my budget since I'm a college student. After careful review of all the positive and negative comments, I decided to purchase it in brown and I'm surprisingly pleased! I'm so in love with this bag. Please do not hesitate to purchase it because I definitely do not regret my decision. It's very beautiful in person like everyone said. I wouldn't say that it looks like a high-end purse though. It definitely looks better than what I usually get from H&M and Forever21 for about same price. I haven't carried it in public yet so I don't know about the compliments, but it looks so nice that I don't even want to use it. Lol. I hope it holds up well. I gave it four stars because the bag came with a dent on it and the package didn't come with a receipt. Luckily I like the bag so I won't be returning it. Pros: -Well designed and embellished -Soft interior fabric -Many different compartments for your belongings -Sturdy adjustable strap -Not too big or small -Beautiful color -True to picture Cons: -Seems to dent easily -Structure seems to be holding up by material made out of cardboard -Difficult to zip and unzip but should loosen up with usage
