"I loved this tote from since I first got it in December 2012. I have the green ostrich and it is just beautiful. I get many compliments on this bag. FYI- The sides are not stiff and it does not stand up by itself so when you set down it slouches over whatever is in the bag. I think it is still cute slouchy but be aware, it only looks like the picture when you are carrying it. The magnet holding it closed is very strong."
