  • Awesome, but smaller than expected

    Review by Lrc 847 | Posted on 1/21/11

    A tad smaller than a typical "messenger" bag but all of the other reviews are correct... it is VERY well made.

  • A great conversation piece

    Review by Mary | Posted on 10/27/10

    This is my favorite bag. It is a great conversation piece and I love telling people that it was produced by artisans in Brazil. It is made so well, very sturdy yet isn't too stiff.

  • Show stopping purpose!

    Review by Andrea | Posted on 10/26/10

    I have this purse and I always get stopped by believe it or not... more men than women! It's crazy. I have written down the Greenheart shop web address on napkins, receipts... etc... It is a piece of artwork.

  • Best bag I've ever owned

    Review by GreenGabby | Posted on 10/26/10

    I LOVE this bag! The craftsmanship is superb, and it even came with a label signed by the woman who made it in Brazil. After I bought it I also watched the video (on this site) about the artisan group (Escama) that makes these pop top bags and it nearly brought me to tears. Not only do I love the bag but I feel like I contributed to a social cause that's making a real difference in brazil.
