After several months of looking at different leather bags and going to zappos website to read reviews on this one and watch the video (which helped a lot in knowing the true size) I finally decided to splurge and spend the $ for this purse. Best choice ever! It's a perfect size, holds a lot of stuff. Very soft leather, zippers are heavy duty and pockets are large. Fossil bags can sometimes be heavy before anything is in them...well not this one. It's finally put a stop to my very long search to the perfect bag!! I highly recommend this one!
