My Fossil has the built in card holders on one side. I also noticed mine never came with a faux key like most retail did. But I love my Fossil. My Mom even bought one because she loved how much mine held. I have the same color as you too. If you want to train your handles to flop down ward, turn them inside out and wrap your shoulder strap around them when you aren’t using your bag. That helped mine and now they stay down on their own. Good find at the outlet!!
I love the Sydney satchel and I own both the retail and outlet versions. The difference is very minor. The retail version has a key keeper inside and credit card slots...I think a little higher end interior. The outlet versions just has pockets. Also my retail version has slightly shorter handles and the outside pocket is a little different dimensions. Not a big enough difference for me to care. I bought and sold and bought it back again when I realized it should have been a keeper. TFS.
You have a retail Fossil bag sold at an outlet store. It's a past season bag. The outlet bags have no feet and you would know the feel of the lower gade leather right away. You got very lucky, those retail bags are hard to find. The newer fossil bags don't have the quality leather. Nice find!!!
Marie Just Marie Wow! Great info! Thank you for solving this mystery for me! I was thinking the leather felt like nice quality! Thanks for watching and commenting! ☺️
I picked a black one up from the website today for 52 and change with the 40% off they’ve got going. I’ve loved the bag for a long time. Didn’t notice it was designed for the outlets until after the purchase. Your review leaves me optimistic (and skeptical about some of seen on resale sites). It only showed up on the fossil website when I searched for it. Interesting.
I love the Sydney Satchel by Fossil although I do not own. I sought to purchase one sometime ago, but I couldn't find in stores or on Fossil website. The Rachel Satchel by Fossil is very similar. I always enjoy what's in my bag videos. Great review. Thanks for sharing 🤗👜👛
Just got the same bag! So excited:) I saw both the older(retail) version in black and this one in brown when I was in the outlet. The leather does feel differently. I would say the black one has a softer leather while the brown one has a more structured leather. I also watched some videos on the older verson sydney and they tend to become softer after usage and losing structure...that's why I picked the brown sydney cuz I personally like the bag keeping structure, and also the brown color!
Awesome, very good info! I’ve found that a lot of black leather bags are softer than brown. It must be something to do with the dye and tanning process. Thank you for sharing this info and enjoy your new bag! 🥰
Nice video; love Fossil. I looked for the video on your Parker Clay square wallet (so cute!) but didn’t find it. Is it included with another bag review?
I am so sorry, I didn’t do a full review on the wallet. I did a brief review of it on my Parker Clay Miramar backpack review. Thanks so much for watching and commenting, Sue! 🤗
This video makes me want to move back into my Sydney. I thought they completely discontinued the Sydney and replaced it with Rachel. Guess I was wrong.
Michele DeAnda Don’t you love when something reminds you of your love for a bag that you haven’t been using? It’s like getting a brand new bag again, lol. Enjoy your Sydney, truly a great bag! Thanks for watching! 😍
Hi! Yes, I think you are right. It already seems softer after carrying it only a few times. I love a good mix of structure and softness. Thank you for watching! 🤗
I was going to ask the same. I just got a brown Sydney in yesterday and noticed the strap was a different color brown but then I noticed the bottom panel of bag was the same different shade as the strap so assumed maybe it supposed to be. But to be sure I called fossil to ask if they should match and she said yes they should but I was looking closely here on this video and see it’s the same non matching brown color as mine.
Wow you could probably fit a whole outfit in there!! Thanks for the mod shots 👍🏻 I just followed you on IG and commented on your last post, so you know who it is 😊

I appreciated this video. Thank you very much!
You’re very welcome! 💕
love the fossil sydney satchel so much i gifted a few to my mom and friends
I just got my new purses and wallet from fossil. It's gorgeous purse 😍😍😍
Awesome!! It’s so fun getting a new bag! 🤗💕
Nice video; love Fossil. I looked for the video on your Parker Clay square wallet (so cute!) but didn’t find it. Is it included with another bag review?
Found the video of the wallet with the Parker Clay bags. I had not heard of this company and will be checking them out.
I am so sorry, I didn’t do a full review on the wallet. I did a brief review of it on my Parker Clay Miramar backpack review. Thanks so much for watching and commenting, Sue! 🤗
it's pretty but the shape is different this is probably why it's outlet but such a great find. Enjoy
Beautiful bag. Love the colour. Great video.
Simply Silent Thank you! Hope you have a great day! 🤗
Where did you get the cosmetic bag? So cute
Thanks Miriam! It’s made by Rough and Tumble. They have amazing leather products. 🥰
This video makes me want to move back into my Sydney. I thought they completely discontinued the Sydney and replaced it with Rachel. Guess I was wrong.

Leatherhappy I moved back into my Sydney because of this! Love this bag! I hope you enjoy your bag too
how do you feel about fitting your ipad in the bag?
My favorite work bag 💕
Great work bag! Holds so much! 🥰
Hi there. Your Sydney satchel looks sturdier than others, which in general looks floppier. Perhaps the leather soften after use?
Hi! Yes, I think you are right. It already seems softer after carrying it only a few times. I love a good mix of structure and softness. Thank you for watching! 🤗
I have the Sydney in black and love it. I would really like to get the key for mine though, do you know where I can get it? I’m based in the UK btw 😊
Beautiful bag loved it , great video thanks for sharing 😊
Miriam Olivo Thank you, Miriam! I appreciate that. 🥰
I reckon you have done a good job there love Well done you
Thanks so much! 🥰
I have a question. On yours is the strap a different tone of brown? I got one but the strap isn't the same brown color.
Hey Chris! I’m not sure but I will definitely check when I get home. 👍
I was going to ask the same. I just got a brown Sydney in yesterday and noticed the strap was a different color brown but then I noticed the bottom panel of bag was the same different shade as the strap so assumed maybe it supposed to be.

Good job with your video, enjoyed watching. Stay safe & bell
Be well
Lisa Frase Thank you so much! I appreciate the encouragement. 🥰
Wow you could probably fit a whole outfit in there!! Thanks for the mod shots 👍🏻

Jennifer Martinez You’re probably right! I bet a whole outfit could fit! Lol. I appreciate you watching and hope you’re having a great day! 🤗💕
£130 in the outlet in the U.K.
I immediately saw the “difference” she’s referring to at the bottom of the bag. The leather underneath the feet looks cheaper
