This purse or bag, was very special to me, since it have been searching for the right one for six months now.  When I received it I found it to be very beautiful.  The only thing I did not care for was the strap, it seemed too long, I am average height and it went down past my hip, when over my shoulder.  I was able to sew the straps smaller. It was well worth keeping it because it is hand made and very awesome quality.  I could picture some sweet woman or man, stitching it and the fact is, that it is fair trade.  It is great for all seasons and can be used for an all over type of bag if not a purse.  impressed
