"I was looking for a simple bag to throw my 'last minute when I'm running out the door' items in. It's perfect. The leather is very soft, the lining is pretty, the red is neutral. I like the detail on the top, and the zipper is not in the way when I'm not using it. The straps are thin, so it wouldn't be the best for heavy items, but it's very 'delicate'/pretty/simple. I have used it for a month, at this point, and it looks like it did when I first got it. I feel what I thought I was ordering is what I got!"
