It was a "wow" when I opened the box.  It is everything I wanted in my new purse.  My last purse was not leather and after less than a year it started to crack in many places along the folds and next to the zippers.  It was similar in style to this new purse. So I was pleased with my new one; it looks substantial, sturdy, and has many compartments.  The only reason I gave it four stars has to do with the top buckle that flops over the main opening.  The hardware on it is too heavy so the flap tends not to lay right; I always have to snap it shut otherwise it flops around.  I would much rather have a shorter lightweight flap.  But that is really a very minor design flaw.
 I think this purse will last me a long time. The shoulder strap length is perfect; the purse hangs under my arm in just the right place. (I'm short.)
It is a large purse; I used it for traveling last week and was able to put in quite a bit of stuff----a bottle of soda and two magazines fit easily with all my regular everyday things.
