The item arrived on time and nicely packaged. As I initially inspected the purse I found it to be well made, but extremely stiff with a slight odor. Hopefully both will disappear with wear. Also, it is a little larger than anticipated, and would be great if the designer would use a non-gold finish on the trim metal. The design is adorable and so "happy", that I cannot help but smile when I use it. It will be a useful and whimsical addition to my wardrobe .
