This bag is absolutely gorgeous! I purchased this as a "happy new job" gift to myself a couple of months ago, and within a week of receiving it, my co-workers were bringing friends by my desk to see my purse. I receive compliments on this purse all the time, even from men who normally don't notice "the details".

In terms of function, this bag even feels ergonomically designed. I wear it with the high point of the zipper behind me, and it seems to balance the weight of the bag well (of course, the bag is only heavy because of what I put in it!) There's an interior zipper pocket and a cell phone pocket, which are helpful. My only complaint is that the interior material is vinyl, which seems silly when the outside is such amazing leather. I've been able to wipe the outside clean with a damp cloth thus far, and have no permanent marks on it even after two months (and I am rough on my accessories!) I look forward to having this piece in my wardrobe for many years to come, and may consider purchasing the red one as well.

I selected this after viewing over 1000 handbags. It met all of my qualifications: beautiful style, excellent black leather, room for essentials but not enough to overload. It is handsome and comfortable on my shoulder. The strap does't fall to the floor when I'm seated at a restaurant but hovers above the zipper because the footed bottom lets the bag stand.

I got this handbag a few years ago as a graduation gift when I earned my BS Degree. I still wear it and everyone who sees it gives me compliments. It's just one of those awesome bags that make an impression and I absolutely love it. Still in great shape after 5+ years of almost steady use - the only time it's not with me is when I have to grab a clutch for a special event.
