This is my third Sak bag, and they are of excellent quality. I have a purple shoulder Sak (in my bag rotation) that I have been using for 7+ years, and it still looks great. This golden bag is wonderful because it has a cross-body strap that is slim and light. The strap can also be removed to put this bag into a larger tote, or for use as a clutch. I prefer to use it as a cross-body because the bag is not stiffly-structured. It holds my glasses case, a powder compact and a few lippies, large screen cellphone, and my cash and credit cards. Great for everyday use or for travel - it securely zips closed.
