I purchased this in the Eggplant color. It's got enough of a "earth tone" to it that I feel it goes with a lot of outfits. This purse holds a TON of stuff and handles the weight very well. It does not feel heavy at all, even with a full water bottle on the side. I have a hip/ SI joint issue, my physical therapist was pleased with this choice of purse. I got a grease based stain on this purse the first week I owned it. I was so bummed! I used an old toothbrush and some dish soap and it came right out! The material is high quality,it will be easy to keep this purse looking new for a long time. I'd recommend this purse to friends and family! BTW I clipped the zipper pulls off the purse, I think it looks classier this way.
