I ended up donating this purse even though I really liked it initially.  The problem is that because the bag is so soft, the zipper often gets stuck when you are trying to close it. Furthermore, zipper is not attached to the bag all the way around, which also increases the difficulties in closing it especially with one hand.  Because the material is so soft, the purse also hangs at a slightly odd angle depending on whether or not you have a phone in the front pocket, and it just doesnt look very nice if you do.
