This purse is just the right size for me. I'm 5'1" and I wanted a purse that would carry all my stuff but not overwhelm me and this one is that purse!!! It's a great bag for spring & summer.  I like it so much that I've asked for the same purse in brown leather for my upcoming birthday for fall. I am very pleased to have finally found a purse that can carry all my needed items and yet not be too big.
