Oasap.com Elegant Tassel Detail Zipped Shoulder Bag review

Let me tell you about Oasap.com. This online store has a lot of cute clothing, purses,shoes and more.  I signed up to be part of the Oasap Fashion Hunters Program and let me tell you I was very excited when I got picked to do a review for them. Really I was supposed to take a photo of me with the purse but I have no one to take photos of me right now so I have no choice but to just take photos of the purse alone.


Anyways I picked the Elegant Tassel Detail Zipped Shoulder Bag . This purse is $30 in the site 



It was a little smelly (a fishy smell) when I got it so I had to let it air out a bit. I used it last weekend when I went grocery shopping and I zipped and unzipped the top zipper and the zipper broke on me. I mean the part you pull on broke when I will zipping it up again .

Sorry for the blurry photo but I took this with my phone.


Not sure if I just have a faulty one or if they are all like that but the little round thing that goes on the zipper is kinda flimsy.I mean even just looking at them they look like they are easy to break. 

I am disappointed because I really like this purse. From what I have been reading oasap.com has great reviews and I am hoping that my purse was just faulty but other than that I really like this purse. It looks just like in the photo on the site and it is big which is what I like in a purse because I like to bring a book everywhere I go plus of course my usual stuff  (i.e. makeup, hair elastics, cell phone, a notebook, pens, my wallet, gum ).

Good thing I got this for free because I think because of this experience I would not ever buy from this place but if I get asked to review an other product I will give them an other try and hopefully the next product I review will be better.

  4. How unfortunate! It is a cute purse.. is it leather or vinyl? Did the smell disappear? Too bad there are some really cute items on their website but this makes me double think ever ordering anything.
    Thanks Chantale

  5. It is made with polyurethane material and yes the smell did go away completely after a few days. I think if it weren't for the fact that the zipper broke I would have really been happy with this

  6. Thanks for your honest review. This happened with a necklace I got from them. The clasp broke and I was able to tighten it. Cute purse though!

  8. I was looking for reviews on this bag, to see if the pictures they have online actually match what it looks like in person. In person, is it really that "plasticky" and vinyl-looking? It looks very shiny and almost like those shiny plastic purses that people buy. I've looked at a lot of pictures of this bag and yours just seems a bit odd to me. Honestly, do the pictures on the website match what it actually looks like? Thanks.

  10. So it really does look like that? I've seen a lot of different pictures. It's all very confusing to me... Basically what I'm asking is, is it shiny? Like super shiny? Because I hate that material. I mean I don't care much if what I own is artificial, plus I would never buy real leather, but I do like the look of it.

  11. No not really shiny at all. I love the look of it and I love that is is big but the top zipper broke within the first hour of using it and then a week later the side zipped broke.
