Although the look of this handbag is beautiful, the color very pretty, the material is just a bit stiffer and not as soft and pliable as I expected it to be. The top zipper / opening to the main compartment is a bit on the short side, especially considering the depth of the bag, making it somewhat difficult to really get my hands in there and find what I need. If you want an over the shoulder bag, this is not it. The long shoulder strap that is included with the bag is very narrow and when I tried to use the bag with the shoulder strap the handles seemed to always be in the way, wearing it that way felt a bit clunky and the strap did not stay on my shoulder very well and the bag is a little to large to wear across the body. Looks great if you plan to carry it on your forearm or just by hand. Overall, it is well made, I love the look of the bag, the price was very reasonable and I plan to keep it.
