After reading the reviews of other buyers, I was a little hesitant to purchase, but so far I am very happy with this bag. The leather is really nice and soft, seems well made to me and is very stylish. I love the fact that it has an outside zip pocket for car keys or sunglasses. I haven't had this bag very long but so far it is holding up very well. And the price is so reasonable that if I only get one or two seasons out of it, it is well worth the price. I gave it a 4 instead of a 5 because I wish it were a bit larger but that's because I carry so much stuff. All in all, I highly recommend this bag.
