Of the pockets I've been sewn in properly and so it was unusable. I contacted the seller they returned my money and said they didn't want the first back. So I actually ended up with a free purse but of course it's got a pocket that I cannot use. Was my sister's help I was able to zip that pocket up so it looks normal from the outside. And as long as I remember not to unzip it then all is good. Otherwise I think this purse is great. If you like purses with pockets and you want it to stand on its own then this is the purse for you.
