In ❤️ with purse
Deep.Spacious and great quality.Been using it 1 year. I'm not easy on anything, very rough n tumble clumsy person. I don't treat my purses or bags delicately. This bag still looks great to say it's used DAILY as my work bag, every day run n go bag, weekender trip bag and every day purse. I absolutely love it. The zippers are hiquality, the straps and fixtures high quality material. Water proof, me proof (lol) [as I said I used it for 1ywar or more], the bottom outside is still in good condition the feet are still intact on bottom. All facets and fixtures on purse are great quality metal. The shell is just tops in my opinion, water proof, durable, stiff and rigid to hold everything in place. The over all size and capacity is accommodating being around or little more than 1ft deep. Definitely buys again and again as gifts and for self

Bigger than expected...
Color: A3 Purple and Black, Color: A3 Purple and Black
I needed a new purse because the one I have currently (that I have that for about 4 years) is falling apart on me, and I wanted a sturdier one. I ordered this one after much thinking and I paid for fast shipping to get it today! I came home from work and was excited to open it... They gave a different color than I ordered, I placed my order for purple and black, and I received gray and black (which I am not too mad about because I like those color combos too) it looked smaller in the photos, but to my discovery it's actually pretty big... The purse is in good condition, but the dangly piece will NOT turn the right way, which kind of erks me. I do like that it comes with a matching wallet though. I think I will try it for a while and see if I like it, even though it seems really bulky. I may return it because I feel deceieved. At least the purse smells good and it's good quality so far. I will come back with an update. **UPDATE** I really tried to use it, it was sturdy and held everything I needed. I think this purse would be for those who like bulky bags. It just wasn't for me. Held up throughout the time I was using it, but with this purse I wouls consider it to each their own. I use the wallet though 😉
