I started out looking at another brand but liked the colors and style of this one. After reading the positive reviews, I thought I'd take a chance and order it. I really like the versatility of it. Now I don't need a purse and a computer case, I can use this for both. The colors go with everything. It has handles and a cross body strap. It's not heavy but it is sturdy. There is a strong leather smell but not mildew as someone else described it. I'd buy it again.
