This is a lovely purse. I thought it would be a little heavier and was surprised at how lightweight it is.  I bought it because of the lovely tapestry and also for the way it opens. I hate the inside of a purse with so many channel compartments and openings, which means I spend time hunting through all of them to find what I want. This is a single wide, spacious compartment and everything is easily seen & within reach when opened. It has a single zippered opening running along the sides and top. (One zipper but two zipper pulls...very handy) It also has a zippered compartment and a side pouch inside (large enough for an iPhone). It is very well made, quite sturdy, yet quite light weight. I am very pleased. Oh...did I mention it is beautiful?
