I am an Anuschka fan. I have a flap over shoulder handbag in the same design, and ordered them at the same time. This checkbook cover fits very well around the checkbook - no struggling to get the checkbook in, holds it securely. Has a slot on the cover for your driver's license. Good price for an item from a luxury handbag line. I don't write checks very often, but now with this brilliantly painted cover, I always know where my checkbook is. One extra advantage for me of Anuschka products: in addition to their beauty, great design and sturdiness - is that it is very easy to be mindful of where they are at all times!
