What is the main fastening - zip or magnetic?

I like the appearance of it. The colour is a bit dull for my taste (I like bright bags) but does have the advantage that it will go with anything.

Also looks like a reasonable capacity without being too bulky or hefty.

I like the key detail on Fossil bags but easy enough to detach if you don't.

Overall, a 'like it' from me.

Zip main fastening, two outer zipped pockets (front and back) and the flap is magnetic.

Not keen to be honest - I don’t like the front zip and the key is weird

Key is defo detachable.

It’s Fossil’s signature - like the Radley dog or the Kipling thingy.

If you don’t like it, just can just take it off Confused

Not keen. Too ‘school satchel from the 70’s’ for me.

Yes, I see what you mean! I quite like a satchel, though...

Don't like the key. It's just a bit look at me

Look at me??? Anyway, she can just remove the key if she wants.

Definite win for me as I much prefer the security of a zip.

Do they do it in green, blue or purple? Grin

@TrainCarriage I know, I went to the till and bought it quick as you like. I didn't 'need' it either but too good to pass up and actually, I use it almost everyday now so it's more than earned it's keep!!

I always keep a hopeful eye out whenever I'm in in case I stumble across anymore, but no such luck.

One of those serendipitous moments...sigh.

PlaitBilledDuckyPuss I believe it does come in other colours, yes!
I went for 'espresso' as I like brown and the discount was huge.

Let us know what it's like in real life, OP.

It has arrived!!! And I am over the moon!
The leather is beautiful quality and I love the colour.
I can fit masses into it, partly because there are so many pockets. This appeals to my slightly OCD nature - I have many things I 'have' to carry all the time to feel ready for anything.
It sits comfortably across body and just looks elegant (which is not a word I usually apply to anything connected to myself).
Jury is out on the key...I'm not too bothered either way but it's easily detachable!
Oh and the hardware is 'antique' brass which I also like a lot.
