I like the look of this handbag a lot, it is a bit heavier then i like but that is what you have to expect for something with so much metal work on it.  The first time i used it the lining in one of the pockets gave way, i considered sending it back but decided to fit it myself.  Since that time other parts of the lining has frayed and given way as well, it is easy to fix with a bottle of fray check but you shouldn't need it for a brand new product!
