Loved the bag as soon as I saw it,and was very happy when it finally arrived.  As someone else mentioned, you can't open the draw string to make the opening wider.  That would be okay, except the middle zipper pocket is so wide that it bunches up in the middle of the purse. Since you can't make the purse wider, the middle pocket didn't need to be so wide.  It gets in the way when you're looking for something in one of the sides.  I'm debating about returning it. As much as I love the look and feel of the bag, it's going to be frustrating for me to 'deal with' and I know if I keep it, it will spend most of it's time on the closet shelf.
