I bought this purse for a wedding and reception I will be attending.  I just received it today and it is beautiful.  I love the color, design and size. As mentioned already, the braids are only on one side, but it's a gorgeous purse nonetheless and the quality is excellent!

8/26/12 - Update: Still love this purse! I used this for the first time last night and was actually glad that this was only braided on one side, because I prefer laying it on the dinner table instead of hanging it on its strap on the back of my chair, so I was not as paranoid about ruining the braids since I had faced the plain side down.  Visually, I would not want this purse to be any bigger, but I was only able to fit a compact, a tube of lipstick, cell phone, drivers license, and a credit card inside it. Sounds like a lot, but you know how women like to put their whole life into their purses! =)  I had wanted to put my camera in there as well, but that alone would have taken up about 80% of the space.
