Marc by Marc Jacobs Classic Q Francesca

I love this bag! I bought this in black several months ago. It is pricey so needed to think about it. After I bought it I also wanted it in creme for spring. It is huge and is great for traveling or just running round. The pebbled leather is soft and luxurious. This is a bag that will last for years to come. Although expensive it is well worth it. It is probably the best and most useful bag I own. Awesome! I did order the creme one and am delighted it is just as lovely as the black.

I have this bag in black, and I love it. The quality of the leather, and the workmanship is great! I carry large bags, so the weight is not an issue for me. This bag fits my cosmetic bag, large wallet, Kindle, glasses and sunglass cases, three check books, pocket calendar and my iphone fits perfect in the pocket. I also use my 23 pocket purse organizer in this bag, and it works great while adding structure to the bottom of the bag. I am very happy to add this one to my growing designer handbag collection, and wish I could find it in the Indigo color with silver hardware again.

I'd also recommend: Ralph Lauren, Cole Haan, Michael Kors and Dooney and Bourke handbags!

Gorgeous bag - but it's huge! I went back and forth between the Fran and the Francesca, and ultimately found that while the Fran is more attractive (because it's smaller), it didn't fit everything that I needed to carry with me. I bought the Francesca to use for work travel, so I need it to be able to hold everything - laptop, notebook, iPad, chargers, magazines, wallet, phone, etc. And it does, and still snaps closed! I use it with the shorter straps and it's comfortable even over a suit and winter coat. For me, the main con to this bag is that there are not enough pockets inside the bag for little stuff (my laptop and phone chargers, gum, lotion, etc), so I have resorted to putting that stuff inside a big ziplock bag and then putting it into the purse! Not so classy, I know, but I am still trying to figure out a better solution that doesn't cause me to dig around for 10 minutes trying to find things at the bottom of the bag. It really only has one little zipper pocket and then the pockets for your phone and keys - which is not much for such an expansive bag. The other con is that after using it for only a week, I already saw scratches in the leather. It's beautiful leather (and granted, I am taking this bag all over the place, on planes, etc and am not super careful) but I was sad to see that the leather had already scratched in a few places. All in all, I am very happy with my purchase and think it's a great looking bag that's very functional for work.

I LOVE this bag! It is large but I enjoy a larger bag with being a mom of 2 and a student as well. I can carry all sorts of random junk in here. I feel like Mary Poppins! It is nicely made (it should be for how much it cost!) and I really enjoy the shoulder strap. I usually wear it as a cross body and find that it is very comfortable. Take out a loan and go on and buy it! :)
