5 out of 5 starsThis is exactly what I was looking for! I'm a little particular when it comes to purses, and this is the right mix of chic and sturdy. Fast shipping too! Thanks so much.

5 out of 5 starsSmaller than I pictured but quickly became my go-to bag. Lightweight but sturdy, nice long drop on the handles makes it easy to get the bag on and off your shoulder.

4 out of 5 starsThe quality is very nice, perfect size, nice quality. Unfortunately I didn’t realize the handles would not be long enough to slip over my shoulder.
