I got the RED one and the color is a rich, deep red, slightly darker than the picture makes it look. Believe me, if you are wanting to make a 'red' statement, there is enough purse there for people to exclaim at the 'big red purse'.

I was surprised that the bottom, pouch part of the bag is so soft. The material is not thin, it is just very flexible. It has a silky feel to the surface, but it's not as firm/rigid as I thought it would be, which is actually good. So, the bag is more like a sack rather than keeping the stiff looking shape in the picture. When you set it down it slouches into more of a puddle. There is slightly more structure around the top b/c of the double layers of materials.

This purse opens WIDE, which is what I was looking for. I got tired of the purses that you can't open enough to see what's in there. That being said, you can still close it up enough so that it isn't a wide-open purse. There is a short flap that you can zip up to close the main part of the purse that I will use sometimes when I feel I want my purse more closed. The corners tuck in at the top, like the picture, to make it appear more tailored. I was pleasantly surprised to find hidden magnets, about an inch down from the top, that keep the tuck closed when they meet/cling magnetically, keeping the purse looking neat when you aren't digging in it. There is one zippered pocket on the outside and it has a nice sturdy zipper with a heavy, impressive zipper pull

There are plenty of interior pockets on the sides, some with zippers, for the things you want to secure. They don't stick out to interfere with the center chamber - this is GOOD. The pattern of the fabric kind of hid that there are a couple of pockets on the other side, without zippers, that are great for a small cell phone and maybe a lipstick or small Ipod. The lining is a kind of rough cotton weave. I guess that's where they cut costs, but I don't need a superb fabric for a lining in a great purse that I can get at this price.

Very happy with my big @ss red purse!
