The Drop Women’s Avalon Small Tote Bag

Well made vintage style handbag carried on the wrist.
I LOVE THIS LITTLE PURSE!So cute! Very 50’s-60’s looking. I purchased the Gold (metallic).Great name “The Drop”. it does resemble a big water drop!I was hesitant to purchase it because some of the other reviewers said it wasn’t quality or it looked and felt cheap.IT DOES NOT! No, of course it Is NOT animal leather, it’s polyurethane. Yet it feels thick and sturdy and mimics the feel of leather.It is well constructed, the stitching looks nice. And yes the opening is smaller than most purses, but big enough to place items inside and retrieve them easily.There is no zipper nor snap at the opening. The long loop is placed through the short loop to form the handle… this also closes the top of the bag. If the opening were bigger, items inside the purse might fall out even if it were closed. I have med-large hands (think golf gloves) and the strap slides over my hand (snugly) and is secure on my wrist.This little purse is going to be my “go to” evening, out-to-dinner-with-friends, purse. I would like to purchase a couple more “Drops” in different colors (I have my eye on the Chocolate, the Ivory, and the Red).

Stylish and inexpensive bag that elevates any look.
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.

Really different, well made, cute and I love 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! !

Good sz. Bag w/ TINY Opening
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.

It is ok, kind of like it but not that exciting!

I get many compliments on this bag! It’s simple and small, but fits everything I need! No pockets so if you carry a lot with you it may be hard to find items, but all I have are my wallet and keys so it works great and looks stylish.

Cute, with a bit of flash 💛Holds plenty and easy to manage with the wristlet set up-felt safely in place 👍
