Melissa Tote

I bought this bag for a 2 week trip we were taking to hold all my “extras” and a clutch. It was perfect! The leather quality is excellent and the color perfect match for my clutch. So many can look orange but this was a nice cognac color. The strap length was just right to wear on my shoulder. The extra compartments inside were nice to organize small items for easy access. It came with it’s on cloth storage bag and a nice note from the company. Impressive bag and would recommend! Originally I had purchased a Frye Melissa tote which was beautiful but sent it back as it was too small and was really a purse not a tote do I sent it back. So glad I did as this Berliner bag was exactly what I was looking for and a better price!

Gorgeous, gorgeous tote. As always, Frye quality is fantastic and the style is on point. It's a great size, not too gigantic but big enough to be super useful for daily use as well as travel. I fly often to DC and this fits so much, including my 13" MacBook. I love that there are two compartments so it's more organized and love that it stands up on its own. I have always liked how Frye purses have the clip inside for the keys so they are easy to find and grab. I also like how the middle zippered divider is so sturdy and padded. The inside cloth pouches are pretty small. I would usually put my phone there but it's too small for my phone and my phone isn't very big --just an iPhone 12 mini. I just put my phone in the padded middle divider and that works fine. I do wish the color was a little lighter or there was a color option à little lighter for the Spring /Summer color but it's good enough. It's just so beautiful and I love the style. My new favorite purse for sure and it will last and last like all the Frye products I have. It's expensive but worth it. No regrets. I also wish the straps were a little flatter and I hope they wear well but the handle length is great. I am petite, 5'1" and I don't feel it's too big. I can have it over the shoulder or just on my arm. Highly, highly recommend. The packaging was amazing. Every part wrapped and padded with extreme care and comes with a nice quality bag for storage and traveling. Sometimes I just sit and stare at it. It's so pretty!

This bag is the perfect size. Not too big, not to small. I've tried a few other Frye bags that were simply too small for me. They were absolutely beautiful & well made but I erred when reading the measurements. The Melissa Tote can hold my wallet, glasses, notepad, hand cream, perfume, water bottle, iPhone & iPad Air comfortably...with room to spare! The divider pocket is padded & gives extra protection against damage to fragile items. The beige is gorgeous, the lighter interior makes it easy to find what you're looking for, the leather looks & smells fantastic & the handles are super sturdy. You can see immediately the great care & attention that is put into the packaging of this lovely bag the moment you open the box. It also comes with a plush dust cover! My only wish is that it had an exterior pocket. That would be great to slip your cell phone or keys into. I've gotten many compliments so far & I plan on using this bag for years to come.

What a beautiful purse. And the compartments??!!! Perfect.Yet, I have to return. It is too heavy for me 😔

Purchased this for the wife as a birthday present. This is her favorite bag in her collection and she uses it as her daily tote. The product was a genuine leather Frye bag and the color matched the advertisement. The strap is a nice size and the bag can be carried by hand or thrown over the shoulder. Because we have children, a lot of items are placed in this bag. Thus, far the bag has held up nicely and seems to be well crafted. I would definitely purchase again.

Well..I did it! I ordered this beautiful bag. I am still choking on the price as even though I like a good quality bag..this was over the top for me. It came yesterday and this is not my first Frye bag..but it's going to be the one I use all the time I suspect. It's large and yes, heavy but not enough to put me off. I bought another Frye bag and sent it back due to how heavy it was. NOT this time. Frye bags do not collapse on you either. The one I was using lay in a heap on the floor, no structure. I wanted structure but not to the point of being stiff and rigid. This is nice soft leather..One person said one of her handles on her bag pulled loose. It would take a tractor to pull the handles off these bags. Very interesting.Yep...no big surprises..just nice organizaton...oh..and I really liked that soft pouch in the center where you can drop your cell phone or anything you do not want scratched, or broken..like a mirror.. OR to keep sticky fingers from reaching.Yep..Love it! Thanks Frye. Great work!!

I never write reviews, but I Absolutely love this purse I’ve been looking at it for months and didn’t want to buy it because it’s so pricey. It’s 100% worth the money, large, sturdy, love the real leather feel and smell. Great for an anniversary or any gift. I say anniversary because it is expensive, but worth every penny not like the flimsy Mk etc expensive brand purse. Very durable and thick but not to heavy (empty) just love it all the way around! Can not say enough good about it! Highly highly recommend it!! Especially for a gift for someone special!
