I started carrying my small purse in a supermarket bag with all the other things I toted back and forth to work every day. I looked like a bag lady. So, I was looking up hobo bags and this green color just struck me. It was inexpensive enough as to where I knew if I didn't use it much, it wouldn't matter terribly. I Love the color though, in fact I can't see it not matching everything I own except for anything red or pink. It's nice and big and very well put together. It's beautiful too. Very glad I had the impulse.
