This purse is absolutely as stated.  I have this purse and I love it.  Wish I had one in white.  I did see where someone complained about the strap, saying it was flimsy, but I disagree.  My handle is as sturdy as the any other part of the purse.  I did buy a smaller wallet to use with it because my other wallets were just too thick since they had checkbooks in them. But I am able to carry all my needed items in this purse.  It opens on both sides for left or right hand draw, key locks on both zippers which is important if you are visiting someone and set your purse down with children around.  Very nice purse!  Would buy another if I find it in white or another color for summer.
