(See update at the end!)  I have never purchased a handbag online before. I always believed it was one item, a purse, you needed to "eye ball" before buying. I also believed at this price range a KMart special would be just about what I was going to receive. WRONG. I am 64 yrs old and I know leather when I see it. The look of it, the way the fabric moves and feels, and the smell of the leather....all unmistakable. Until now. This handbag is a marvel. The color (navy) is a deep rich color. The fabric moves and feels supple. The thickness is generous and soft. The smell of leather is obvious but faint and pleasant. The purse's interior is fully lined with an upscale soft fabric that has a soft sheen to it. The craftsmanship is remarkable, perfectly assembled with expert stitching, and the style is beautiful. That's the only word that comes to mind when looking at this classy handbag. I would have bet my dental work this purse was leather, and carried a price tag in the triple digits. I am going to order two more in different colors. If you want to take advantage of am incredible find, you will, too! Enjoy!  Update!  I just received the turquoise bag....I have NEVER SEEN a deeper, richer turquoise in ANY handbag. When I say "deep", I do not mean it varies and is a "different" turquoise. Not at all. It is a true turquoise. But beautiful beyond description. I can't believe I just said that about a purse. But to say anything else would not be the truth. This one you have see "in person" to understand how fabulous the color is. If you like turquoise even a little....GET THIS BABY! Enjoy!
