Anna by Anuschka Hand Painted Leather Women's Large Multi Pocket Hobo - Mother’s love

Just got it. Overall, I like the quality. The eyes aren't quite as blue as the picture. Bigger than I thought. Will have to see if it holds up over time, but right now happy with my purchase. Was a bit surprised to see it packaged in a jumbo hefty zip lock bag. There were no tags, no mousture package inside. Starting to think that it was used, or bought, then returned and resold which is disappointing. However it is still a beautiful purse even if it may be used/unauthentic as some of the other reviews have mentioned. I did only pay around 170 on Amazon while the actual website for this brand, unconnected to Amazon, is selling the same purse for 275ish.

I was nervous about purchasing one of these bags because of the reviews stating that the purses were counterfeit. The prices for the Safari Gray Rose color ranged from $137 to $230. I decided to go with the seller who had the highest rating, who was selling the purse for $147. The next day, I decided to buy this purse through the Anuschka website for $230 to ensure that I was getting the real deal. However, I was not able to cancel my order that was placed on Amazon, so I ended up with the questionable purse.The Anuschka website lists several features to authentic purses:—Leather is soft, supple and feels luxurious. (I think so, but not sure. I don’t normally buy leather.)—There will be a leather tag stitched to the lining of the bag with the Anuschka logo. (There is a leather tag, but I’m not sure if it’s the right logo.)—The lining will have the Anuschka logo woven into it. (There’s nothing woven into the lining.)—The quality of art is a great way to tell if the product is genuine. The colors should be rich and vibrant, reflecting the passion behind the art. (Yes, artwork is beautiful and vibrant)—Each original Anuschka is hand signed by a member of the family. (I only see a template signature for “Anna” - not sure if that is what they mean.)—Authentic bags come with branded YKK sliders and a dust bag. (Hardware doesn’t have any brand markings. Not sure if the beige mesh dust bag is authentic.)If this purse is a counterfeit, it is a very nice one.The side that I believe is supposed to be the front has two pockets: one zippered 7.5” W x 5.75” H, one open 3.5” W x 6” H. The open pocket is too high for a cell phone. I’m not sure what it is meant for, but a small umbrella can be squeezed into that pocket.Both sides of the purse have open pockets that are 7” W x 7.75” H. They fit a 16 oz coffee thermos quite nicely!The back of the purse is more beautiful than the front. It has two roses and a butterfly painted on. I may decide to wear the purse with that side out. Why couldn’t they just make one side plain so it’s easy to figure out which way to wear the purse? I don’t want to hide any of it!The inside has two open pockets on one side, and a zippered pocket and open pocket on the other side. The two open pockets are 4.25” H. They are 4.5” & 2.5” W. The zippered pocket is 7.5” W x 5.5” H. The third open pocket sits slightly below the zippered one. It runs the length of the purse, which is 11”, and is 4.75” H.This purse is much larger than I expected. But it’s better to be too big than too small.The Anuschka website recommends that their leather protector be used regularly to preserve the artwork. I made sure to apply two coats of the stuff before using the purse.So far, I am happy with this purchase. I will have to update my review after I’ve been using this purse for awhile to say how it’s held up.

she loved it

I love what I paid for this purse! I bought it used and it looks brand new. Great size large and beautiful colors that go with any outfit. The details are amazing compartments are many and so useful. Amazon is the only place I now buy my Anuschka purses. thank you!

I will preface the review by saying I have been obsessed with Anna bags lately, so the comparison is against other hand-painted, unique, gorgeous bags. The design is pretty, the color is deep, which makes the beauty more subtle. It is definitely much prettier than a "normal" bag, but it is simpler than say the floral garden or butterfly garden designs. If you are looking for a statement piece, this may not be the design for you. One more thing to note is that his bag is big! I would say it is travel size, not every day use size.

Love my new purse. It is larger than I thought it would be but not complaining….. I love how it looks and it is comfortable on my shoulder

I get more compliments on this bag! The only other bag I received as many compliments on was my previous Anuschka bag. This is a sturdy and durable bag and believe me... I pretty much abuse my bags. My best friend saw this when we got together and immediately ordered another style and color for herself. She tells me all the time, "I get more compliments on my purse." Yep, Anuschka sure does know how to make a beautiful bag.

I've received many compliments on this purse, due to its unique beauty. It is far more lovely in person than in the product picture.The purse I received is authentic, and comes with a few accessory pouches, as well as the branded tag and storage pouch for the purse. The purse is quite large, and is true to the size described on the product page- lots of storage.My only complaint is the painted finish is already showing signs of wear after only one month of use. I have owned a few Anuschka purses and they usually do not show signs of wear this quickly. After seeing other various reviews, the paint wearing quickly seems to be a common problem now, so I'm guessing the manufacturer is not sealing the finish properly at production. I've bought some Anuschka leather protectant for my latest purses in hopes it will help preserve them longer- so far so good.Overall, I recommend this brand of purses for its unique style, quality leather, and the ample storage. If you do purchase on of these, make sure to buy the leather protector or some other type of paint safe sealant for it, so the finish doesn't wear too quickly.

Really like this purse. It's large enough to put a water bottle and umbrella in. Would do for small overnight bag. The pictures are gorgeous. Seems very sturdy.

The bag has a lovely colour and the painting on it is beautiful. I am disappointed about the leather quality. On both sides, where the strap is attached, the leather is quite stiff, not pliable. Therefore just after 3x use there are already fine, white cracks in the paint. It's difficult to use the side pockets because of the stiffness around those areas. Since it wasn't a cheap bag, it's disappointing. For lots of years I've been using genuine leather bags, but never had this problem before.

The handbag is larger than expected, and very beautiful. Worried to use it…😏

This is a BIG purse and it’s as lovely as it appears. There are lots of pockets and zippers for all your goodies. I’ve gotten many compliments on it. The strap is ugly as sin tho. Not sure why they’d make the effort to create such a pretty design and give up on that one detail. However, it seems to be well made and I’m glad I bought it.
