Not worth the Money!!!!!

Do not waste money on this product it is not worth it. Looks like a nice product on TV and when you recieve it, it is made very cheap. It even looks REALLY cheaply made.
Don't Waste Your Money

Against my fiances wishes, I bought the Buxton Bag after viewing the very convincing infomercial. I thought it would help solve my purse problems but no such luck. It took 3 months to receive and arrived in a plastic bag, literally just a mushy purse in a plastic bag. The purse had such a strong chemical smell that I had to air it out on our patio for 3 days! Once aired out enough to carry without getting sick from toxins, I filled the purse and went on my way. I didn't have much stuff in it and the magnetic closure never stayed closed-- just a flap flailing around so it always looked very sloppy. They have used a super strength magnet in the commercial. Additionally, the bag is only meant to be worn on way-- across your chest. The zippers were cheap and packing this purse like they do the commercial just wasn't possible, especially if you don't want to lose your belongings. It's advertised as $19.99 but after paying shipping, it comes out to around $35 which could be better spent on a purse that actually closes and doesn't look cheap. If I were smart, I would have returned this product for a refund.
Not what advertised

This bag is not at all what is advertised. Made cheaply, even with the "upgraded" leather. It doesn't hold any more than my small purses, there are no security zippers or closures for the 2 main "large" sections so everything falls out, and because the strap is not leather it is already ripping away from the bag. The only thing I like about it is the cell phone holder. Have used it for 2 weeks and have to throw it away. And I know better than to buy anything sight unseen but figured "Buxton, it must be good". Oh well!
Still waiting

I ordered this Buxton bag in Feb. It is April and I still haven't recieved it. I did recieve a card from them saying that due to overwhelming demand this item has been back ordered. I'm at the point that I don't care if it is sent or not, as long as they don't charge my account.
disappointed

I ordered the bag over two months ago and it finally arrived. I ordered the bag off tv so it was supposed to be buy one get one free so I ordered two. When they came only 3 came not 4 and there was no invoice or contact information in the package. The purse itself is cheap looking but it would be tolerable if they didn't charge my credit card $115.60!!!! I thought they were only $19.95?? They charged me for 4, I only got 3 and it was buy one get one free. I will never purchase another item from tv and will not recommend the Buxton bag to anyone
Small and stinks.

Thank heavens I was able to buy this at a local store, I had really been wanting this, but I brought it home and it smelled awful. I also didn't like the size, it was half the size of what it appears, there is nothing great about this.
Hope to return it.

I am going to return mine to [] if I can. I found it was smaller than I thought, no good zip pocket for my wallet, and hard to stuff things in without some falling out or whatever. Only thing I like is the way the strap goes over your shoulder.

infomercial is very persuasive, but leaves out the very important fact that the materials and workmanship of this bag are very poor indeed. the interior fabric in particular is very flimsy, lots of loose threads hanging off seams before i ever used it, fabric tore at a zipper seam within 3 days of gentle use, and a zipper came off its track within three days too. the strap is cheap-looking nylon that does not maintain the length to which you adjust it if there is weight in the bag to pull it down. the overall flimsy quality of the bag makes it incapable of holding a decent shape when stuffed with a fraction of what they say it can hold. water bottles? forget it, unless they're elfin bottles. overall, "the biggest little disappointment" in online shopping for me ever. I used to respect the name buxton when it comes to wallets and bags. no more. i suppose they are banking (literally) on millions of us counting on that name, so why bother investing in making a truly good product. oh...did i mention that these bags reek?...use only in well-ventilated areas and away from asthmatics!
don't buy this bag
4/14/2008 - Sarah of Tennessee, USA writes:
i ordered this bag, they sent the wrong color. they corrected this, but the bag is very poorly manufactured. the strap ripped right away. worse, they gave my cell phone number out to telemarketers, who continued to call me to buy other stuff. sorry i wasted my time & $$.
Inferior!
4/11/2008 - Veronica of MD, USA writes:
I got the upgraded version in all 3 colors - day one, had to return the red one as the mesh lining was ripped in one of the area. Got FAST return...now the black one has stitches coming apart in the body of the bag, and strings keep coming off the inferior lining-thought for upgrading, would be better quality, but no...never again!
Did not like it at all
4/5/2008 - Jessica of Wisconsin, USA writes:
We saw the bag on tv, so we thought it would be great for a smaller diaper bag for our daughters things. I already knew it would take a couple of weeks to get it from the website. We just received it a couple of days ago. As soon as I pulled it out of the plastic bag it came in, it smelled horrible. Like a chemical of some type. The bag itself is way smaller than what it looks like on tv. It was very cheaply put together. I cleaned the bag off and set it in the garage for a couple of days. The smell is still there. I am calling Monday to hopefully get a refund.
Not what they advertise

I must say that I am very disappoited in the product. They billed me twice and tried to tell me that I had 2 orders. NOT TRUE! Then I receive the bag and it is about 1/2 the size they advertise. The workmanship is the worst. Mine has dye on the front cell phone area and the flap. The cell phone area velcro piece is slapped on sideways and doesn't line up and on top of that-the inside zipper came broken!!!Now when I look at the ad I see that all of the things it claims can go in it are flat items. Look closley. Do you see a wallet?make up bag?? Check book? The answer is NO. I would never recommend this bag to anyone. I can find a better bag than this at walmart! Don't waste your time or money. Then on top of it they charge 9.00 for shipping and they send it US Mail on a bulk permit that cost about 1 dollar per bag. It's a scam. Period. Get your money back!! Good luck.
Buxton Bag Makes more Clutter
3/23/2008 - Ellen of ohio, United States writes:
Purchased this after seeing it on TV. Did take a long time to get. Not happy with the cheap lining, stuff gets lost in the bottom, the credit card holders force you to pull all out to locate one. Unbalanced and have dropped stuff out of it a few times. Would Not recommend, even for the price.
It's a keeper!
3/15/2008 - Timma of Kansas, USA writes:
I ordered this bag directly from Buxton. Due to overwhelming demand (or so says the company), It took about 6 weeks to ship. When I first took it out of the package, it looked a lot smaller than it does on TV. I thought there was no way that it could possibly hold all my stuff; my current purse was overflowing. It swallowed up all my junk with room to spare. I didn't even have to let out the expansion zipper. The only thing that bothers me is that there's no where to really hide any unmentionables. All pockets are open-weave mesh. If you leave your purse open, be warned, the whole world will see the contents.
Bag not received after 2 months
3/8/2008 - Jennifer of Washington, USA writes:
I ordered the Buxton Bag on January 9th and have yet to receive it on March 8th. Since my bank account has not been charged for it, I'm not going to follow up on it, but it is disappointing.
Don't Like stitching bad
3/7/2008 - Cindy of Ohio, USA writes:
Bag won't hold as much as shown on TV, if you do it will fall out when you sit it down. I returned mine do to bad stitching on the front plus dye mark under phone holder. Hope to get money back faster than it took to get here.
Disappointed
2/29/2008 - Amber of Georgia, USA writes:
While the bag has helped me be much more organized, the quality is very poor. I ordered the black one but it has brown discoloration "spots" on one side. The seams aren't very strong and look like they would tear apart if I even tried to put as much stuff in it as in the commercial. The zippers constantly fall open, the leather scratches VERY easily and the velcro started falling off of the phone holder after the first day. I would absolutely not recommend this bag to others.
Buxton Bag Has Issues
2/21/2008 - Karen of Wisconsin, USA writes:
I ordered the Buxton Bag the end of January and it took almost 3 weeks for it to arrive. When I got it I was very excited because all the compartments were just as promised. It has issues however. My flip phone slips out of its holster on the strap and I have dropped it numerous times because the latch strap velcro is not very good. Though I love a smaller purse, if you don't this is not the bag or you. I also had problems with the zipper on the front compartment sliding down and opening up the purse. The magnetic clasp pulls hard on the thin leather, and I believe over time it will tear. The biggest problem I have had is that though the purse has a soft, nice feel, the leather is inferior quality. Along the bottom and on the flap after just 1 week of use, the leather has cracked and you can see white showing through. I believe within weeks the leather will be split all along the front of the purse. I am returning it now for a replacement. I will write another review after I receive the preplacement and let you know if the problems were rectified. (I'm also curious as to how long the replacement will take to come. This company does not work fast.)
Mediocre product
2/16/2008 - Alison of Connecticut, USA writes:
I have this bag; I used it for a while but found that the zippers didn't stay fully zipped, the card slots easily ripped, and the entire lining is very cheap material. But for the price, I guess you can't expect much. As for convenience, I found that it really isn't any better than any other handbag with a couple pockets. Besides, when fully loaded, it's somewhat unbalanced.
Pretty darn good!
2/12/2008 - Luann of Illinois, USA writes:
The purse took a very long time to arrive but once I got it I was impressed with how much it actually does hold. It is deep so stuff gets lost in the bottom, but there are quite a few pockets, some zippered, so if you stay organized, it can work for you. Cell phone holder makes me nervous... like the phone could fall out.
