This purse is everything I expected!! I love it. I came across a $700 purse online and I did a search on Amazon and found this. I am not disappointed at all. The color is so beautiful. I get soooooo many compliments since the first day I wore it. I’ve already shared the link with a few women that asked where I got it.I purchased the brown one. The soft faux leather seems like it will hold up and the size is more of a medium size purse. It has a shoulder strap that I don’t use unless I am carrying a bunch of bags. It’s very stylish in my opinion when you carry it by the handle. I know the designer brand has a merlot color that I only wish that Hicarry will see this message and add to this collection, because I will be the first to buy.Again, I love love this purse!
