I should have listened to the other reviews.  I bought this bag to compliment a hot outfit I put together for a night out with the girls.  It was KINDA cute after I tucked and tied the little side strings into each other but still cheap looking. Couldn't even make myself wear it.  It's soooo cheap looking, like plastic.  I ended up using it as a travel bag for a bus ride I recently made....in the bag was a light blanket, my wallet, and a few under garments....after two days the handles are already separating from the rest of the bag.  One side is reinforced but the other side is attached (threaded) right onto the body of the bag and it is now tearing.  Should have been no more than $7.99 with free shipping (I paid $17.99).  I would NOT recommend this product at all!
