I have exclusively used Anuschka handbags for a decade now. I love the art pattern of this purse, though I really like a few of the other bag designs better. I decided to purchase this one anyway, as the art is why I purchase Anuschka and I can live with the design. I believe these are second bags (not good enough to represent the brand where they are normally sold), as there are places the background paint is not smooth and it looks almost aged right out of the box. Again, I love the art design, so I'm dealing with it, though it is disappointing, hence the missing star.

I must either hang this bag to store it, or lean it against something, as it's too narrow to stay upright on its own. The triangular flaps of the bag design get in the way, as they are want to lean over. I only have my card purse and some cash in the middle section, which is attatched by a length of material to the purse, so no one can just reach in your bag, grab and run. The two, zippered, outer layers are useful for designated uses. One has an internal, extra zippered area that is flat...so great for ladies necessities. Other than this, both are catch-alls with no organization within each side. There is also a flat, zippered compartment in the magnetic, snap-shut section and an outer zippered compartment my 6" long phone fits in just fine.
