I have been searching and searching for small-sized handbag (I don't like to wear my purse on my should with the long straps; I like to be able to hold it on my arm or in my hands and if needed, throw it on my shoulder just for a couple minutes). It's so hard to tell online how big a purse will be and what it's quality is like, so I decided to take a chance with this one as it looked cute and didn't seem to large.

I was disappointed when I opened the box :(  It is large (for me) and the materials just seemed cheap.  It also had a funny smell.  As soon as I opened it, I put it right back in the box and didn't use it. I hung onto it thinking it could be a back-up if I ever needed it and I didn't really want to pay shipping to return it. I ended up giving it away in a white-elephant gift exchange over the holidays and some folks there really liked it.

So, it probably depends upon personal style - I was hoping this would be something else and it turned out, it is what it is in the picture....
