I purchased this for myself. after i received it and realized it was such a nice bag. i've gotten so many positive comments about it. and told how expensive it looks. I havn'et told anyone what i actually paid for it. A co worker has one that looks very much like this and she told me she paid $95 for hers and was surprised that I had one like hers. haha. I just chuckled to myself. what she don't know won't hurt me . i'm very pleased with this purse i'm ordered two more to send to my sister and her daughter that live in Washington ST. the quality of the purse is very good. the handles are securley connected with strong metal clasps and hooks that add to the flair of the purse. I recommend it to anyone who wants a big purse that hold lots of stuff. i really love this purse. thanks for such a nice purse. oh by the way i got the red girraff one but ordered the brown one for my sister and the red one for my neice . my 14 year old granddaughter want one too with a peace sign on it.. go figure. thanks again
