MINTEGRA womens M006 Casual

Beautiful looking and very spacious, I wanted a purse for office with lots of pockets in which I could keep all my belongings separated properly, this is exactly the way it is, neither too small nor too big, just as much as I need. it's the same

I ordered this in black, and I've only been using it for a few days... but I couldn't LOVE it more! Yes, it has 12 - count 'em! 12 - compartments, which some said is confusing, but if you take a minute to really think about how you want things laid out for ease of use and then load it up accordingly, they can actually help tremendously with your organization. I'm extremely picky about purses because I like to be able to find things "instantly while blind-folded" - and sort of whip things out James Bond-style - and it's taken me over 5 years to find a basic black bag that suited me... and this is it! CONSTRUCTION: As a seamstress, I approve of this bag, lol! Since at least one reviewer had said it was falling apart inside, I checked every seam, zipper, hardware mount, etc on mine, and couldn't be more impressed. Everything appears to be sewn very well, and there is extensive use of seam binding throughout, which, I feel, will go a long way to prevent tear-outs. FABRICS: The fabrics used for both the interior and exterior are substantial, without being weighty or stiff, and I expect they will both hold up well, as well as be somewhat stain and water repellent. The fact that it's machine washable is unprecedented - and so cool, isn't it? How I wish everything was machine washable... (-: By the way, washing it is a great way to test the seams... The inside of mine is a dark tan, btw - rather than black, like so many purses - so you can actually SEE your stuff inside without a flashlight - wahoo! STRUCTURE: I love that - although super lightweight - the bag stands up on it's own without falling over, even if it's only about half full. That said, it's so thin and lightweight, you could pack it as a 2nd bag in your suitcase without taking up much room or weight at all. I also love that you can leave the main compartment open while carrying the purse on your shoulder and the purse doesn't gape, collapse inward or deform in any way. It still looks stylish. (Told you I'm picky.) STRAP: Someone said the strap looks cheap, but I beg to disagree. It is smooth webbing with a slight sheen, and I think it adds a bit of elegance to the bag, harmonizing well with the muted gold hardware, which adds another subtle pop of class. One slight worry I have is that the hardware that the strap slides through is a little rough where the ends of the metal meet, and although it's not currently causing a problem, I'm wondering if it will scratch/ pick out the strap over time. Other than wrapping it in tape or filing it, not sure what could be done. Someone said the strap keeps sliding out of position, but I'm not having that problem. The strap IS a bit slippery, so it might happen if the bag is full of heavy things and is moved on and off the shoulder a lot. I'll just put a stitch in if it does, since changing the strap length day-to-day is not necessary for me. The strap is on the long side, so would likely fit folks of ample girth or height quite well. I'm 5'5" and sort of thin, and I have it on the shortest setting, although I do wear it as a shoulder bag rather than a cross-body bag which needs more length. COMPARTMENTS: I just love them! The zippers flow smoothly and easily, the pulls are just the right size, and everything can be zipped up securely (except the 2 elasticized "water bottle" pouches on the ends). Somehow, for me, all the compartments are just the right size and location - for keys, cellphone, wallet, sunglasses, notepad, pens, cosmetics - EVERYTHING! One small thing I love is that the 2 open pockets inside the main compartment (against the front wall) go all the way to the floor of the purse, and are wide enough for your WHOLE hand to go in, thumb and all - unheard of in women's bags. I put small/ tiny things in here, like lip gloss, hand sanitizer, granola bar, and because the pockets are nice & deep, nothing falls out if you happen to lean over while the purse is unzipped, unlike with the typical shallower pockets. A great utilitarian design! A note on the 2 "water bottle" pockets on the ends of purse: Gosh, they are tiny (!), but as another reviewer suggested, I ordered 2 "mini-thermoses" off Amazon and they work beautifully in these pockets. (I use one for my coffee and one for my water.) These are easy to take in and out of the pockets, and no falling out, despite being 9 & 3/4 inches high. (The diameter on the ones I got is 1 & 3/4 in. and they hold 8 ounces each.) One drawback of course is that these tall skinny bottles will topple over in a standard cup holder in your car (I didn't think of that!) so you kinda have to either keep them in your purse or between your legs when driving. Alternately, you can fit an 8 & 1/2 - 9 in. water bottle (of regular diameter) inside the purse, if you can spare the room. COLOR CHOICE: I'll probably want to order more of these because I love them so much, but I find the other colors offered just awful (navy, hot pink, burgundy). Does anybody else wish it came in some nice muted pastels (esp blue), a neutral beige, and perhaps a mellow brown or light grey? I'd probably buy ALL these if it did... Happy hunting, everyone!

Great bag loads of pockets lovely colour well worth the price

I really do NOT need another bag! Ha! But this was such a great price- $20- I mean, I can’t walk past a BARGAIN! The dark blue is a lovely colour. Enough pockets to organise myself. Lightweight and water proof- which is sooo good because the first day I used it, I put my water bottle in it and, you guessed it- the whole thing got wet! But! It dried easily and no more dramas! It’s just as the picture shows- the handle/strap is strong and plenty long enough. Hmmm so tempted to get another colour at that great price and quality!

El material parece lona de plástico, no tela. No me gustó el aspecto. Por lo demás tiene buen tamaño, varios compartimientos y se ve práctica. No me gustó el "look" y la devolví.
