This item arrived for me just as pictured.  I think I even said "oh how cute."  I didn't have the problems other reviews have had.  It seems well made and sturdy.  Maybe I'll repost after the cats have given it the once over.  But I do really love this bag, its cute w/o being too cutesy and its large inside with a zip top so you won't lose anything and a separate zip pocket on the side so you don't miss phone calls.
