I would say for the money you can't beat this handbag.  It is everything it is stated to be, lots of nice pockets for phone, etc. plus two open pockets for iPad, notebooks, etc. and an outside zip pocket.  I would prefer the hardware to be silver instead of gold but that's a personal preference.  The faux leather is good quality and the bag appears to be well made.  This is a very structured bag so anyone who may prefer a soft more pliable bag may not want this one. Overall, I am very pleased.
