Interesting to see a review on a bag that you've actually used for some time. Most reviews are just showing brand new bags with no long term use perspective. Thank you!
I LOVE this bag. I have two: one in Heritage blue and another in the brown Croc print. This style is one of the best bag designs out there. That zipper opening is pure genius, I don't get how more brands don't do that regularly.
Helpful video! Fossil makes a great, lasting bag, and that brown looks better with regular use. I condition my camel Carlie with Coach leather cleaner and lotion, but most of the darker colors do just fine without pampering.
I have the same bag for about 4 years using it off and on and I love it. I can fit my planner, snavks, even my babys diapers, a couple of them and bottle
Hi, I've got several fossil bags, including this one. As much as I love the look of it, it's not the bag for me. I have the ferlicity satchel and ive used that most day's for two year's now and I will say the leather gets softer and softer over time they look better as they age, the linings are like a thin denim and really hard wearing also easy to spot things you need with a lighter lining . I think. Fossils customer service is brilliant. I had a wallet that started to tear, and they replaced it free of charge. I don't think you can go wrong with a fossil bag they are really well made.
I had sold my original Rachel and tried a Hailey but found I missed the 2 outside pockets so I re-purchased another Sydney and just moved back into it because you can see everything so nicely and also it opens WIDE. Neat to see it a couple years later. Actually looking forward to mine breaking in more. Nice review!
I have a vintage Fossil bag that I used daily for years and cleans up like new. I abuse my bags somewhat so after all these years the inside zipper has derailed and I can’t seem to fix it so I’m trying to come up with something I can use the pocket for without closure. Maybe stitch it down into 2 cargo pockets??? Or stitch in magnets? I’m so attached to the bag I’ve got to come up with a plan.
Thanks for the review. I was gifted this bag (the colourful print one, which I think is less sturdy than the leather) and while I love the look I find myself not using it because it's quite floppy and unstructured. Do you feel the need to fill it when using it every day so it has some shape?
i have the same exact rachel satchel but the short handle of the bag just started peeling and i was wondering if there is anything i could do to get it replaced 😢 if anybody knows, please help
is it just me who noticed that fossil bag quality has become bad lately? since they change their logo from rhombus to oval, you can tell the quality drop. I have fossil bags with the old logo and they are fantastic. had them for more than 8 years and still look good. meanwhile, I bought this crossbody bag with the new logo and it's so bad. I only use few times, not more than 5 times. yet it's peeling, and the leather is stiff too. almost feel like PU but it says genuine leather. so funny cuz leather should not peel. and I know they use lower-grade leather, probably mixed with synthetic. but damn so pathetic.. I had to sell that bag and keep the old ones
Mine peeled, too (handles, strap, pulls, and tabs. No issue on the main bag). My 2 friends also have the same issue with their Rachels so I checked online. I found out that the bag itself is real leather but the trimmings are made of PU.
Yes lots! I live in the pacific north west and it rains a lot here and I definitely still use it like normal in the rain! It hasn’t been soaked or anything but definitely rained on
The handles and strap on the Rachel are not leather - I believe they are made of polyurethane, as is the shoulder strap on the Sydney - that’s probably why you get areas of rubbing. It’s annoying and personally I’d rather pay a bit more and have an all leather bag! (I think the very first ones were all leather and then they downgraded)

Im a big fossil bag lover! I have around 5 fossil bags and they hold so well! I love that it’s a quiet luxury and how the leather holds up very well.❤

This is my favorite bag, I’m a bag girl so I have a few different ones and I always end up back with my Rachel.
Ive had the Rachel in the light brown saddle color for about 4 years and the leather still looks great. Such great quality!
Ordered this bag the other day. Your review helped a ton in my decision. Thank you :)
Wow only one purse for 2 years I wish I could be more like you! Btw I do have the same bag in my collection. Tfs!
Thanks for this video! I just placed an order and was wondering about it, thus came across your video. Enjoyed it a lot!
I love it! You won’t be disappointed!
One handbag is very minimalistic, wow 😮Very helpful video, Rachel is on my list 🤩
Great review! I am not nice to my bags also so I need a bag that can handle my normal wear and tear which is why I need bags that is made well.
Love this! I love Fossil bags. I have used mine for years as well.
Lol “ I’m not nice to my bags” - same girlie same 😂❤
I have the same Rachel satchel and I absolute love it the most!! The leather is so soft and I just love the team colour too.

Thumbs up for only two bags. I have been delivered and am actively downsizing. I know there are a couple of fabulous vacations in my closet.

Such a beautiful patina!
Where did you say your pouch is from?
Gymshark!
did you take it in the rain? has it been rained on?
Yes lots! I live in the pacific north west and it rains a lot here and I definitely still use it like normal in the rain! It hasn’t been soaked or anything but definitely rained on
@@shelbyritchey thanks for responding, I ended up buying a second hand one, and love it.
Does it fit an ipad air?
i have 4 of these rachel** bags and it fits my ipad 11" pro!!

Kenapa punya saya terkelupas bagian handle dan strap😢😢😢😢
this just happened to me too and i was wondering if there is a way for me to replace the handle 😢
Shelby, the word is ESPECIALLY not expecially. There is no “eck” sound. It’s like saying the letter S and following it with pecially .
