I go to a lot of concerts, ballets and operas, etc., and I need to carry reading glasses and distance glasses plus lozenges and paper towels and for opera and ballet, binoculars. My clothing already contains a handkerchief, comb, a wallet, keys, and several other personal items. So there's no room for glasses etc. without my appearance becoming a mass of bulges. I searched extensively many stores and finally found the Dr. Koffer Black Venetian Leather Cole Shoulder Bag on Amazon. It's handsome, the perfect size, and exactly what I wanted. It was shipped quickly and I'm already using it frequently. I highly recommend it because of its size and quality. It's available in three fine colors.
