People stop me to tell me how pretty this bag is, and I agree.  Also, it's not too big, or too small -slightly larger than a magazine.  Embroidery is excellent, tightly sewn and neat.  Colors are bright, but tasteful.  BONUS: The strap fits across the body and since the bag lays perfectly flat, it looks neat and you can shop, or do whatever, without holding onto your bag.  One of my new favorite things!
