I was pleasantly surprised when I opened the package and saw this tote.  It looked like a designer original.  I have received quite a few compliments, but I never told anyone that I only paid $15.99 for it, because that would spoil the fun.  It is fully lined, and although the trim is faux leather, it appears genuine.  The stitching on the trim also gives it a very finished, elegant look.  It was worth every dollar spent, and then some. I place it right up there with my Coach and D&B handbags. I would recommend it to anybody looking for a decent looking tote that doesn't cost an arm and a leg.
