After reading previous reviews I was hoping for a larger bag than the photos let on, and I got what I wanted. This bag is beautiful and sturdy and 'oversized' just as the description says. I wanted a larger bag to use as a carry on for a trip to France, and as an overnight bag for small weekend trips while I am abroad. It's too big to be a 'purse' but a perfect 'tote' size handbag.
Ordered the tan even though I was hesitant about the color and in person it is a much richer color and absolutely beautiful.
Love it!
