Although this was the sized bag I wanted for a casual night out, and I liked the burnished brass fittings on the handle and the cross-body / shoulder strap, the bag would not stay closed.  The magnet on the front flap is not strong enough to stay closed when items (just a small credit card wallet, cell phone, and a change purse) were placed in the main compartment.  Luckily it had a zipper closure also so nothing fell out.  Maybe it's the placement of the handle that causes items in bag to fall forward, putting too much weight on the magnet.  Maybe if the magnet were stronger I would have kept this bag, but with the purse hanging open every time I picked it up and having to be re-snap closed, This puppy is going back to the dog house.
