I waited a bit until I had a chance to use the handbag for a while. They are very useable and function well for a day-to-day use, but it is a stretch (actually as well as figuratively,) to include my laptop. I purchased two of them, the camel and the beige. These are terrific handbags for the money, and the colors are exactly as depicted in the photos. They do not, however, measure 16" at the bottom, but rather 14 1/2". I would have really liked to have them at the stated size of 16", but both measured less. I also had an issue with the lock, (opening it to stretch the bag so as to obtain more entry room,) only to never be able to re lock it. My husband found a similar lock and replaced it for me, but I think you should consider the cheap lock as potentially non-operable when attempting to actually open/close it. The product description also states that there are "...3 Large Inner Compartments one of them zippered with leather trimmings. Letaher trimmed inner side wall zippered pocket and a cellphone/wallet holder..." Well, the handbag's inside is a big hole (as is now fashionable to do,) and has one zippered wall pocket, and two relatively small utility wall pockets on the opposite side, one of which is cell phone designated, but my cell phone does not fit in it (I have a small flip phone.) All else remains the same, I like the bags, but again, the measurements are not as described, they do not contain any compartments, and the lock was inoperable on the two I purchased, hence the 3 star rating.
