All my OMG and Edwards handbags have come within the time frame promised; have all been packaged for shipping beautifully...tissue paper + layer of white waterproof type material; all covered with bubble wrap and carefully cushioned in their box with air pillows to protect the handbag. The size is larger than it looks, even when using a tape measure....thank goodness!! As it turns out, the design, shape, and stud decoration makes the size work wonderfully well. And I find I can use all the space. The quality of the fabric is excellent. It has a soft lustre to the sight and a soft, rich texture to the touch. It is fully lined with a material whose pattern compliments the brown fabric without "shouting" at you when you open the handbag. The color? Who ever chose this color was one smart cookie. It goes with  ALL my other brown clothing items and shoes. I am impressed. This handbag is one EVERY woman should have in her wardrobe. I will continue to purchase this brand and OMG handbags. I have eight handbags from them, and LOVE EVERY ONE of them! Enjoy!
