The Story of the Waldorf Astoria is a comprehensive historical account of one of New York City's most iconic hotels. Written by Edward Hungerford, a journalist and author who covered the hotel extensively during its early years, the book delves into the Waldorf Astoria's origins, construction, and evolution over time. The Waldorf Astoria was originally two separate hotels, the Waldorf and the Astoria, which were merged in 1893 to create a grand luxury hotel that quickly became a symbol of New York City's opulence and glamour. Hungerford traces the hotel's early days, including its famous guests and notable events, such as the birth of the Waldorf salad and the first-ever charity ball. The book also covers the hotel's major renovations and expansions, including the construction of the current Waldorf Astoria building in the 1930s. Hungerford describes the hotel's role in World War II, when it served as a headquarters for the US Army, and its later years as a hub for international diplomacy and high society events. Throughout the book, Hungerford weaves in anecdotes and stories from the hotel's past, bringing to life the personalities and events that have shaped the Waldorf Astoria's legacy. The Story of the Waldorf Astoria is a fascinating read for anyone interested in the history of New York City or the evolution of luxury hospitality.

Almost perfect!
Color: Green
I'm going to be traveling for over 30 hours next week. I've had my eye on this bag for a few months and decided that it would be perfect for my bag I keep under the seat in front of me. I take as little onboard as possible. I check everything. This holds my 13" MacBook Air easily along with my makeup bag, regular purse junk with room left for a pile of snacks. It did have a strong odor when I took it out of the box but I've had it about a week and it seems to have disapated. I wish the handles were a little longer so I could throw it over my shoulder, I'm not someone who will use the strap. Straps and handles are just weird to me. There are tons of pockets though! Definitely a good purchase!

Beautiful Large Purse
Color: Light Brown
5 STARS !! Love this purse. I have had expensive name brands and this I has been my favorite. Love the size, the hardware, the long strap, stong handles, the feet on the bottom the color is beautiful. Great quality so far 6 months. Even got sprinkled on in the rain dried no spots. The large is large so if you like large bags it is it. I have always wanted a I guess you would call it a medical bag. As you can tell from this I really love the bag

Great choice
Color: Light Brown
I probably lost a good 40 bags in a house fire and am just now able to begin to replace them. I made a good choice starting with Iswee! The quality and craftsmanship is top notch! Easy to get into and find items right away! The leather is soft and sturdy and the color is great! I would have rather the hardware be done in an antique finish rather than a shiny silver but it’s okay. I’m going to enjoy carrying this bag! Thank you

YOU MUST BUY!!
Color: Green, Color: Green
Hello, This is the first ever review that I’ve ever written. I couldn’t wait for this bag to arrive, and it came today as scheduled. It IS THE MOST - ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL - as soon as I opened the packaging I could smell the leather! - the “colour” lol is RICH! I am a GREEN everything person, and this green is STUNNING! The QUALITY is great and appears to be VERY DURABLE. The inside is EXTREMELY roomy and deep, which is good for me because I’m lazy about zipping my purse up. BUT the zipper glides with ease. It’s a medium weight purse, so be aware of what you’re putting in there lol Value wise, it’s definitely worth the money and it looks MUCH MORE EXPENSIVE than it actually costs! I took the strap through and made it a shoulder strap also. I WILL definitely be buying the burgundy one next! Thank You ISWEE BOBBETTE

Great Tote Bag
Color: Navy Blue
This a really nice bag! I can't wait to go on my trip. It is just the right size, not too big, not too small. It holds a lot of things and I can reach in and see all of it. I like that it has the shoulder strap that you can either keep on or take off. The leather is so soft and looks beautiful. Seems to be really well made and I will have it for a long time and plan on using it every time we travel.
