I was looking for a brown leather tote to use daily, but more as a purse.  When I received this, it was much larger than I had thought!  For the price, I figured it was purse size, but this is an actual tote.  I started using it as a much more stylish option for bring things to and from work (used to use a backpack)!  The leather is very soft and I like the colorful print on the inside.
