I absolutely love this purse. The one I had before I’d had for about 3 years and it was falling apart and I wanted a new one but I’m really picky with purses since I use the same one all the time and I want it to be able to hold a lot but not be very big so it’s tricky to find one. I wanted one that would be a little more sophicated looking than my old one, would hold it shape, and fit all of the stuff I carry around with me on a regular basis without being super big and bulky and this checked every box for me. I love that it has the two big punches on the inside and the zipper pockets as well. I care a lot of little stuff and I decided to get a tiny pencil bag to keep in one of the pouches and along with my rather large wallet that takes up about the size of one of the big pockets with the other one still free for keys, phone, etc which is great. I love not having my keys lost at the bottom and buried under my wallet. I also like that it stands up on it own and as long as you don’t over stuff it, the shape holds really well. I like the long shoulder strap as well because I love crossbody purses since they’re easy to carry without becoming annoying. I just wish the long strap was a tiny bit thicker and that the short straps were detachable. It also had a pretty bad plastic smell when I first got it and it had to air out for a day or so but after that there was no longer an unpleasant smell. Other than that I love this bag though and it’s super convenient for me as an everyday purse, plus it’s really cute. EDIT: So I absolutely loved the overall look of the purse but the quality of it is pretty pathetic considering it was like $30. The purse was folded when it arrived and the crease from the fold never went away and when I set it on surfaces it caves there and looks pretty bad. One of the inner pockets was also stitched incorrectly so it was basically unusuable. The back zipper pocket stitching started to fall apart too so things I had in that pocket were slipping inside the purse. I restitched those two things myself and I thought it seemed okay, and then the long strap (the detachable one that was one of the main reasons I chose this purse) broke again and again. I must have super glued it at least 10 times and every time I tried to fix it, a week or two later it would break in a different place all over again. I realize $30 might not be a lot for a purse to some people but if I went into another store and bought a purse for that much, I would expect it to not have this many flaws. Its really frustrating considering how much I wanted to love this purse. My advice - its not worth he money.
