The purse arrived in a timely fashion and is very good quality. The only thing is that it is MUCH smaller than I anticipated and as such almost TOO SMALL for what I use. I am trying to force myself to get used to it, but so far it really is too small. Material and workmanship were all fine however.

The materials, construction, and appearance of this bag are first rate, but it definitely is a MINI bag, which I believe few women will find suited for daily use. The built-in wallet, a feature I greatly value and which is difficult to find in most styles today, requires that notes be folded in half (so tightly that they are difficult to remove), and the coin purse is so tiny that it is very difficult to use. Credit card slots are very tight - one cannot fit in a standard business card. The pocket which supposedly is just the right size for a phone would more accurately accommodate a postage stamp.

This is a nice bag for evening or occasional usage, or to wear under one's coat to protect cash and credit cards whilst carrying a tote bag as well. As a 'standalone' purse, it is inadequate.

Arrived very late, over a month after I placed the order, despite being listed as "in stock". Arrived in a box without a packing slip that looked like it had been taped up with an entire roll of duck tape. The purse itself lacks any degree of femininity and all compartments are too small to be at all useful. Customer Service at the Belt Outlet was nice enough to speak with, but I'm still annoyed that I have to take time out of my day to return this thing.

Love this purse - great for travel, great number of compartments. I'm constantly on the road with my job, and love this little purse - fits into my computer bag compartment so I easily consolidate to 2 bags to meet airline requirements (roller bag and personal item - computer bag). Has a long shoulder strap, love that too! Side slit pocket to either slip cell phone in or hook onto. Great product!
