I had high hopes for this purse. Unfortunately it did not live up to my hopes. My biggest gripe is the front zipper pocket (shown in the picture with the decorative pull). The zippered opening isn't large enough to get my had in. On the flip side the pocket itself is the size of the entire front of the bag. Whatever you put in the pocket runs the risk of being lost in the pocket since you can't get your hand in the pocket to retrieve it. I thought it would be the perfect place for my phone but if I put it there it might never come out. There is also a lack of interior pockets so stuff falls to the bottom of the bag all the time.
