Every woman angst over whether she should invest in a "white" purse. It can only be used during a specific time of the year and must be tucked away as soon as a cool breeze remains more than 2 days. Most of us skip the white bag, pull out a straw hobo or beach bag and make do. But this time, I searched and searched and because of the price I bought! This purse was only $29.99 so what did I have to lose?? When I received it, it was squished in the smallest size postal box, (that's okay, they wanted to save postage cost) and it is soft leather so that was fine...When I unfolded it, it's pretty darn big!(big enough to fit your laptop and your personal items) the inside had a cute tan leopard print no overly cheap looking hardware...I was pleased! Ladies you will receive compliments on this bag. This purse is for the trendy "Jennifer Lopez" type fashionista, it's really big and roomy.  The age range for this could be 16-55 years so it really just blends in with who YOU are personally. Over your shoulder it falls right about to your hips, though it does not have shoulder straps, the handles are long enough to hang. So if you like a "trendy" bag that cost next to nothing BUY it! I received it about 3 days after ordering it.
