Ordered after seeing one at a store. There are not a lot of retail stores that carry this brand - what a pity. Very well made and as told to me the longer you use the purse the softer the leather gets. The painted design shows no sign of wearing, fading or coming off and I have owned this purse for about a year. The color is true to the picture maybe even better, the included glasses & cosmetic cases are very nice and I use them with other purses. I thought the handles might be to short but they are the perfect length for carrying over my shoulder. The 3 different compartments are perfect for cell phone, grocery lists etc. The bag is very roomy and I can even carry my iPad in it and it is concealed!
