I have some cool turquoise sandals and was browsing the Net, looking for a matching purse. I had no intention of buying a zebra print, but when I saw this one, I had to have it! Even though the description says blue, it looked more turquoise to me, so I took a chance on it because I love the cheerful style and the shape.

<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/New-Blue-Large-Vicky-Zebra-Print-Faux-Leather-Satchel-Bag-Handbag-Purse/dp/B0026TFB8Y/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">New Blue Large Vicky Zebra Print Faux Leather Satchel Bag Handbag Purse</a>&nbsp;arrived last week and I am more pleased than I dreamed I would be: The trim is turquoise--just a shade brighter than the shoes--so my gamble paid off. (It wasn't much of a gamble, since I could also carry this bag with black shoes. :-) But what really surprised and delighted me more than anything is the way it hangs--in cute little puckers that are hard to describe--and the material is something I've never seen before. It's faux leather, but has a rubbery texture that's quite pleasant to the touch and will be very easy to keep clean.

All in all, it's a very attractive bag with a top zip closure, silver-tone hardware that complements the turquoise, just the right amount of interior pockets, and at 16w x 11H it has plenty of room for all my "girly" things, including my water bottle. All that and the price is right! What a bargain...

As you can tell, I love, love, love my purse!
