I wanted a purse that would hold all my credit cards and money.  I wanted one with a wide comfortable strap.  I wanted a purse that I could use everyday.  I have all that with this purse.  I just wish the purse had a flat bottom so it could stand up on its own.  That is the biggest con about this purse.  Otherwise, it's a great lightweight purse that drapes across your shoulder with lots of comfort.
