This is a really nice purse. A bit bigger than expected and not quite as vibrant but there is plenty of room at the opening. I effortlessly opened the purse a good six inches. I can stack my fists on top of each other and stick them in. I like the wrist strap for the wallet too in case you don't want to carry the whole purse. The wallet also has a zippered compartment for change. I noticed most wallets don't have that anymore. The chain (shoulder strap) isn't removable but since it barely hangs past the bottom of the purse doesn't look bad if you decide to carry it by the straps. You won't have a long chain flopping around. If you wear it on your shoulder it hangs at midsection and tucks under your arm. Overall, it's a very attractive purse. Looks more expensive than it is. Very well made. A little stiff but I like that it holds form and doesn't flop over. This purse is big enough for an overnight bag for most people. Will try to add pics of the opening later. I didn't unsnap the back either. I read some reviews stating the opening was too small so maybe they redesigned it. It opens as wide as the bottom now without any effort.
