This is an absolutely gorgeous and stunning bag. I really liked it because it's really my style BUT I had to return it. It's a bit smaller than expected and I could imagine having a  lot of difficulty opening it it I were standing up or didn't have something to lean it on. Overall, it's a great leisure bag if you want to carry a few small objects but for the price I couldn't justify such a frivolous buy. Maybe another time. Nice gift item.
