I hate to shop for handbags . This was so easy ,the multiple pictures let me see that it was perfect for me . I was not disappointed . The quality of the leather was so primo that it came shipped in a cloth bag covered by a layer of cardboard on each side further protected by plastic . The interior was lined in satin ,with multiple pockets ,zippered and open .All the brass fittings were protected by cling wrap . Of course it was received in perfect condition . It is the most beautiful handbag I have ever owned . I would recommend this company to my most finicky friends . The price was less than this quality commands . Love it .
