From the Manufacturer
Bruce Makowsky is not a newcomer to the industry by any means. He ran his own handbag company and was president of a major corporation where he developed the company into a $200 million business along with the design inspiration of his wife Kathy (of Kathy Van Zeeland fame). B. Makowsky handbags are defined by a signature leather tassel in addition to chunky satin-finished hardware and signature paisley lining. Zippers and pockets create function without bulk. Colors include simple blacks, browns and ivory with pops of fresh colors such as red, denim, saffron and tangerine.

Beautiful bag, but…
Beautiful handbag — the leather quality and the color (silver) is absolutely gorgeous. The things I couldn’t get over were the facts that the leather and hardware make the bag extremely heavy and that the dimensions make the bag sound like a “medium” sized bag…when in reality, it’s BIG!! You can stuff this with loads of stuff and it’s just too big for my 5’2″ frame — the strap length was too long for me as well. The bag’s pockets are very clever and you’d definitely stay organized with this one, but it was just too big and heavy for my taste. I’ll keep looking for the right silver bag for me.

Perfect !!
This purse looks like one that you see movie stars use. I get so many complements on it. It has so many great pockets, nothing gets lost or tossed around anymore. Awesome soft leather. Goes with dresses or with jeans and a t-shirt. Very well made. I love this designer and will be back for more.

Cute Bag – Poor Workmanship-Shoddy Customer Service
I received this bag a few months ago as a gift. It’s a very pretty bag – but should be mentioned it’s a bit heavy. Well, the handles of the bag are attached by a decorative screw. The screw came apart and fell off. The bag is useless now since the strap is no longer attached. I called the company’s customer service and was told they didn’t have the screw – or any for that matter. I then received an email suggesting I go to a hardware store. Um, that would be fine but I don’t know where I would find a decorative custome silver screw in a hardware store. I then called for a manager. I was told – “this will never be resolved to your satisfaction since we do not warranty our bags”. I was speechless. I didn’t spend $45 on this bag! It was only 3 months old for goodness sake! So I am stuck with it. Customer service is not in their vocabulary – be warned
