I look this bag!.  My first impression was that it was smaller than it appear on the website.  However, I am able to keep all my essentials in it with room to spare while being lightweight.  I purchased this item with the Anuschka wallet which is the size of a checkbook holder.  It fits perfectly inside.  It's really beautiful and unique and the leather is very soft.  I recieve constant compliements every day.  The hand painted design looks better every day.  I am a handbag person and this has to be my favorite bag of any I've ever purchased.
