This purse exceeded my expectations because of it's price.  The color is nice, the feel is soft, and I love the handles!  They make the bag look like a designer bag!  I haven't tried the shoulder strap yet, I don't really like the way it looks on there and seems to take away from the look of the bag - that's not to say that I won't ever use the strap, just my personal preference on the looks.  Give this purse a try, I'm betting you'll like it as much as I do.
