Reviews

Nice, but. . . . .

"I bought this bag for my wife almost exactly 9 months ago. For 8 months, it was amazing. Last month, the pin allowing for free movement of the shoulder strap wore sufficiently that it will not stay connected in the loop in which it would normally rest. The problem is clearly one of manufacturing if the bag's hardware fails from normal use in 8 months. I contacted customer service for support and was informed that Frey has a 30 day return policy for items purchased on the site and no warranty or service program. Fortunately, the bag was purchased at Dillards. They reviewed the circumstances and agreed to take care of the situation if Frye did not. Ultimately, they issued store credit which we immediately used to purchase a similar bag from a quality competitor. Frye bags are beautiful and come at premium price. Unfortunately, that doesn't seem to include premium service. Honestly, your bag will probably be fine. My advice would be to be careful where you buy it if you expect help if it's not ok."

Size of this leathet bag

"Size of this leathet bag is very manageable, and roomy,just as I had hoped. Perfect for travel. I can tell it's very well made, the leather is beautiful and the brown shade is also as it was depicted in the photo. Im very satisfied with this purchase."

Less than I expected

"I have always liked the Frye products, but this pocketbook was less than I expected. The interior lining was made of an off-white canvas, making it easy to show marks and difficult to clean them off. The handles did not hold their shape well, as they were flat and thin, and the edges were rough against my arm. Finally, like most other Frye pocketbooks, the interior zipper was not protected by leather, making it prone to ripping the fabric. I should expect all of these not to be issues with an otherwise quality pocketbook."

Loving my new bag!

"The Melissa medium crossbody is perfect!! It is large enough to hold all my essentials without being too heavy to carry. Frye never disappoints on quality. I’m very happy with this handbag and with the service I always receive from the Frye company."
