The first thing I will say is that this purse is MUCH bigger than I anticipated, but that really isn't a disappointment. The quality is great, the texture is nice, and I love the amount of room inside. There was another review that mentioned how heavy the purse was "as is" because of the hardware, and I have to say, I agree. This bag definitely has a bit of weight to it. I bought this one in white, and as a spring/summer bag it's great! I get compliments on it wherever I go, I can fit just about anything I can think of inside, and the price definitely justifies the overall purchase. Buy with confidence!
