It looks like a Chinese knock-off. No idea if it is, but there is way too much of that on Etsy these days. You could probably buy it on a street corner somewhere, unfortunately.

Is that even real leather? There's no description.

Sorry OP, but i can’t let you buy that purse. A 4.0 rating on Etsy is quite low and that’s not a good sign - you’ll be unlikely to love it when you see it in person. I’m usually hesitant if a seller is below 4.8 or so - i buy a TON of things from Etsy and think you need to find a store with better ratings.

I find great deals sometimes on Poshmark?

I’d go for the Songmont version to ensure it’s decent quality. It’s a lot cheaper than any Loewe bag!

Ew no. That is a clear dupe and not even a good one. NEXT.

I like the IDEA of that bag, but just not that one. The tan is a weird shade of tan, and the cool thing is not just the shape but the piping and you can't see that on the black one. I am also worried it's kind of cheap.

Sorry OP but no.

The bag is not made well even for $50

So many better options out there.

I like it in tan- its way better than what I was expecting when I clicked the link.

Avoiding tariffs is another challenge.

I found this bag this morning and it’s been on my mind all day:

I have a handbag organizer so I’m not worried about everything falling out.

Thoughts on the colors black vs. tan? Does it seem well crafted?

LOL no it's a butt-ugly bag

Cheap bags look best in black to hide flaws.

I like Madewell bags for the price.

All colors are going to look cheap since they are not real leather. But agree with the PP. You’re not going from Loewe to pleather.

How about this, OP?

The tan looks cheap. The piping doesn't bend evenly.

The black looks better.

I have owned many black pleather handbags. They hold up very well. But they are usually finer grained than this pebbled faux leather.

Not sure I totally believe your post. I don't think Polene shoppers like to buy $50 pleather bags. I buy such things, but the only expensive bags I've bought are old skool Coach.
