I was hesitant to purchase this, and I had it saved on my Amazon list for quite some time. I am not someone who splurges on purses, but after a string of cheap purses that fall apart, I was ready for quality. I am SO glad I made the purchase!! The leather is soft, the quality is excellent, and the style is perfect!! I love the clasp open and closed, and it is just the right size purse (I was worried it would be too small). It is what I would call a medium-sized purse, and it fits my oversized wallet perfectly. I wanted a backpack style purse as I don't like setting it down on germy surfaces (grocery shopping, public bathrooms, etc..). This purse has absolute style that can be casual or dressed up. I am SO glad I purchased this one!
