"This is an amazing value for such a GORGEOUS LEATHER tote. The length is perrrfect! The height however, I found to be too tall for my preference. I would have used it as a handbag had it not been SO BIG! If you are looking for a sexy, leather, (+affordable) tote this may just be "IT"! For a purse though, I had to find something "not-so-tall". Regretfully, I returned it."
