I have been looking for a black purse for months and have really been doing some research in hopes to find the perfect one.  After careful consideration, I am happy to say that this is the one! It's just a tad bigger than I would normally have, but I still really like it and think it will come in handy when traveling, too.  I like the little extra zipper compartments on the front for things I want to have quick access to. The inside is quite spacious, too.  Glad to have found this bag and on sale!!
