I bought this in black, and I am very happy with it. It doesn't have a silver or gold decal/strap, so it goes w/ whatever jewelry I decide to wear. I like the lack of decals. The shirring on the front flap is done beautifully. It holds a fair amount, what you would need for a night out on the town. It looks very minimalist, yet high-end. It's sleek, and I enjoy that I can wear it cross-body (out to the club for drinks & dancing, or when walking around town), on my shoulder (for a casual date) or as a clutch (at a formal event). It's small enough that you could keep it in a bigger tote or purse, for those times when you get asked out unexpectedly & want to be a bit dressier in the evening. La Regale makes beautiful bags at reasonable prices, and I like their overall color selections.
