The DropWomen's Avalon Small Tote Bag

This is the cutest bag ever and looks more expensive than it is. I bought the gold one. I can fit my makeup basics bag and my hobo wallet easily. I recommend it.

I love this purse! It's smaller then I usually carry, but it's quite roomy for its size. Love the olive color and I will enjoy carrying it! !

I’m a complete bag snob/collector. I have LV, Chanel, Fendi, Balenciaga and more in my closet. (To be honest though, most are pre-loved.). Because they are so sturdy and well-made, not to mention they won’t go into a landfill, I’d swore I’d never go back to cheap bags that don’t last. (Which is what I carried for decades.)Apparently, I lied. I saw this Avalon bag and it caught my eye instantly. I have spent hundreds on bags that are not as stylish as this one. It took a while to pull the trigger...me, carrying polyurethane? But I broke down and bought it in black. Surprisingly, I don’t have many black bags so I figured this would do until I buy my next designer love in black.It is really adorable in person. It looks great with jeans and sandals or with a LBD for a night out. It really elevates an outfit. I have not carried it much because of Covid Quarantine, but the one time I did I was complimented. I think the style makes people not realize it’s not leather. There is also a zip pocket inside to keep items safe. And, carrying it in winter I won’t have to worry about rain!There are a couple of problems with the bag though. One is common with black bags-they often have a black lining inside, which makes it impossible to see your belongings. This one is black inside too (and doesn’t seem to be lined except for the pocket area, although I could be wrong, it is not near me to check. I’ll revise this if it is). Lined or not, it’s a deep black inside. Fortunately, I had an extra purse organizer in red which helps me see, plus it gives me extra pockets and shape for the bag without changing its looks. It was hard to get it in though, which leads me to the second problem-the opening. While the bag itself is larger than it looks, the opening is small enough that a full-size wallet or large sunglasses case may be hard to wrestle out of there. While the bag is actually generously sized I think I may treat it like a mini and just keep necessities in it.All in all, it’s a stylish handbag that even collectors may enjoy. I hope it does hold up because generating more garbage is a bad thing. I feel about handbags the way I do about dogs. Buying a bag preloved is the same as choosing a shelter pet over a breeder.If this ever comes out in a real leather, I’ll be first in line to purchase.

I bought the taupe and the color is a perfect match with the espadrilles/wood platforms I plan on wearing with it. Yes, as others have reported, the opening is small and you have to be gentle with it, but if you want this bag to keep its shape as pictured, just stuff it with something soft. I put two folded pashminas inside and plan to nestle my bigger items in between them while putting smaller items like keys, money, lippies, and perfume in the interior zipper pocket. Also, an added plus is that the vegan leather truly does mimic real leather and gives it a quality look. This won't be an everyday bag for me but splendid to pull out every now and then. For the price point, it's perfection.

When I ordered it I thought it was bigger, I wanted to return it but then I started using it because the color was perfect, then I noticed is very good quality and for the size it holds a lot in. I really like it, I use it more than my other bags, it is so cute and comfortable to carry, is different.

I’d looked @ these. Had red & black on” try before U buy”list for yrs.( so long they weren’t avail for that anymore) ! Needed lightweight bag after surgery. I LOVE real leather , however it’s heavy .So I got these. Happily surprised the black faux leather didn’t look cheap. Upon opening, the size was great! When I went to put my things inside, I discovered the opening was so tiny even my wallet wouldn’t fit through! Why! 😫There’s plenty of room for larger opening ! The black one was a black hole…most stuff could go in , but U’d never find it again! No wonder it’s on sale. BIG THUMBS DOWN! Sooo wish The Drop would’ve opened the opening up . A pocket or two would be nice too as it’s actually ONE BIG HOLE! Functionality aside, it’s adorable on the outside.

This is a super cute and easy to carry kind of bag. The opening is a little too small but if you’re only using it as a clutch for an evening out type of situation you’ll be fine. If this is your everyday bag then I would suggest something that is more accessible.The reason I gave it three stars is it has an overwhelming stink that smells like a chemical plant. After everything in my bag for the second time came out smelling like the chemicals, I decided to throw it in the washing machine. The good news is because it isn’t leather it washes beautifully. The bad news is I watched it twice and it still has a little bit of the smell although far reduced from the pre-wash. I don’t know that I would purchase it again unless it was about $20 cheaper!

It’s got a small opening, and it’s hard to see inside. But I use a (small) purse organizer in bright pink. Voila. It is a trendy, fabulous little purse. Love it!
