American West Reviews
Very cool looking bag but terrible odor! The size is great, a little bigger then I expected actually. Big enough to hold phone, wallet, kindle, magazine, etc. Very room. Stud detailing is very cool, strap is perfect length so bag is under your arm but you still have plenty of room for coat or big sweater. The problem is the terrible odor though! This bag stinks so bad, having to send it back!

Hi, ladies. I must say that I had searched high and low for a wallet I liked that is attractive and functional with a zippered change pocket on the back. I have returned three previously as being too long, too heavy, poorly made (kinda like Goldilocks). The actual wallet is much more beautiful in person as the tool work does not show up well on the ad. There's plenty of room for everything comfortably. It's a little pricey, but once again, I realized that you get what you pay for. You will love it.

I was a little disappointed when I first looked at this bag, but it slowly grew on me. In my mind, I had a shiny leather bag in mind, and this turned out a dull finish. Now I love this bag - it's spacious (doubles as a diaper bag!), has scarves you can swap and the "dull" look actually makes it look classy!

I love this bag. I use it for teaching, and it's big enough for my laptop and notebooks, but still small enough to keep it from being cumbersome.
Looks beautiful, well made, soft leather, lots of compartments and credit card slots. Great wallet, even better than expected!
Absolutely beautiful handbag and very well made. A little pricey, but worth every penny. I get lots of compliments every time I use it.
Beautiful hand-tooled leather purse for a reasonable price. I will buy an American West again. Zappos was prompt!

This is just a beautiful accessory case! Nice size, well made. Has the plastic lining on the inside in case something spills, love it!
This is a great handbag--nice size, can be carried over the shoulder, secure zip top. And the styling is really fun--be prepared for lots of compliments!
This has become my favorite purse. I like the structure -- it holds a lot, but doesn't look really large. Three outside pockets -- great! I also have an American West tri-fold wallet that I really like. Hurray for Zappos, especially the superfast delivery.
I got this purse for Christmas and I love it! I have gotten many compliments on it, and it is tough! I work around horses all day and the horse like to chew on everything I have in my hand, including when I am wearing this purse. I think Kandy, my mare, loves it as much as I do! I think it a little heavy though. All around good purse!
This was a gift to a horse lover.\r\nShe was so delighted with the bag.\r\nThis bag was a nice size, it will hold\r\na lot of things & it\'s also very pretty, \r\nit looks just like the photo. It reminded\r\nme of the beautiful hand made saddles \r\nyou might see in a Tack or Western store.\r\nThe only draw back would be that the leather\r\nis stiff but with time it may soften.
I love this over-the-shoulder purse. It is well made and nicely contoured to carry perfectly beneath your arm. Got lots of compliments. Wish it was really made in the USA, though.

I purchased the bag mainly because purple is my favorite color, but I love the bag. Everywhere I go I get compliments on it. I would love to have a billfold/wallet and cell phone holder all to match. If you should happen to have those, please let me know. Thanks.
I had been buying knock offs of American West purses for years. This year I wanted the real thing. Zappos had the exact purse I wanted for a lot cheaper than anywhere else with free shipping. The purse is everything I expected, the service was beyond expectation. I highly recommend this site.
If you like totes, hair on hide cowhide, silver, and a little ye-haw, you\'ll love this bag.\r\n\r\nI tend to prefer a detachable shoulder strap in addition to handles but even without that, this is my new favorite bag.
A very nice handbag with a great kitschy look. Ample space and pockets, well designed and executed. This is one of several American West handbags I own and they are all quite nice.
