"I was looking for a new purse was a little larger than the De Young crossbody bag I’ve been using. The Ashland is spacious and has lots of storage pockets. The soft leather feels soft to the touch and the Maritime color is beautiful. Although I like the blue and brown combination, I would have preferred the base of the purse to be blue rather than brown."
"This bag is beautiful! The buttery softness of the leather combined with the creamy yellow color is a winner. Only complaint I have is the zipper. I have other sak bags that have no issue with the zipper at all. This has a metal zipper that for some reason refuses to close if you open it all the way. I am just very careful with it because I love the bag and want to keep it so I took off a star for that."
"Didnt like this style. Wasnt for me. So I started a return…. WHAT a HORRIBLE exchange process. Instead of listening to me and my frustration, that I wanted a refund on this ashland bag, customer sevice placed a new order for a replacememnt bag WITHOUT my approval. I didnt want that style or Color. To top it off, before I even went to customer service, i attempted the exchange process on sak website, where I was then charged $114 of the difference for a bag that I DID want, but was later told “that order wasnt placed”. So they took my money and didnt place my order? Im disputing that charge with my bank. I haven’t received a refund for any of the three orders above yet — I love this brand and the product but they owe me hundreds of dollars. Ridiculous. Very disappointed and frustrated."
"My second Sak. FINALLY retired the one l've had for 15+ years. Mellow yellow, double round braided straps, zippered middle. Has been a great go-to all these years. Keeping it forever."
"Perfect size for my needs. It has the pockets on the inside and 2 outside! One zip pocket also on the inside. The design is great for me as a crossover bar and it holds all my essentials without being too bulky. Also, the color is perfect for all year round use."
"Love this bag! So soft and a unique new neutral color that goes with everything. Perfect size. Love it!"
"I’m always happy with the look and quality. Very happy!"
"Beautifully crafted leather bag. This brand is my hands down favorite!"
"Love the color. Very good quality! Great for summer."
"I love having purses in various styles and colors. They are a simple way to change up an outfit and boost my mood. This particular purse is of high quality and performs just as well, if not better, than some of the high-priced purses I've paid twice as much for. My daughter, who isn't always gentle with her purses, and I often borrow each other's bags. Even after months of use, the SAX purse still looks new."
