Best pocketbook ever!  The colors are bright and true to the photos.  The stitching is strong and sturdy, so the patches and flowers remain intact.  The leather is very soft and and the inside is lined.  I personally prefer to carry it by the handles, but if I choose, I can re-attach the shoulder strap.  There's plenty of room inside for essentials without having to fish around!  I recommend this purse to anyone who loves a bright colorful one.  It's very unique and you're sure to get loads of compliments!
