I just received this handbag today and I love it!! It is a little larger than I expected but it is wonderful. Even the cell phone pocket on the side fits my Iphone, I was sure that it would be too small.( you do need to put the phone in facing the handbag so the lip on the cover does not get hung up on the bottom seam of the pocket when you try to take the phone out) The quality of the purse is very nice, the carry strap itself is not leather, the rest of the purse is a nice leather. I have found that all purses I have purchased in this price range do not have a leather carry strap. THe front pockets offer alot of storage, much more than I was hoping for. I loaded the purse up within minutes of the package arriving and am a very happy customer.
