I was REALLY looking forward to this one, because it looked so cute online and had the basic features I wanted. But when it arrived, it was so much bigger than expected! And very rigid/stiff. It feels like carrying a small piece of luggage, not a purse.
It looks very nice (I got the black one) and the zippers worked smoothly (a pet peeve of mine). But just way too big and stiff for what I wanted/thought it would be.
But the reason I'm giving only 3 stars is because the lining isn't very good. It looks and feels nice, but it's very thin and very loose. For as stiff as the rest of the purse is, the lining is equally loose. I had a difficult time unzipping/zipping the interior side pocket and had to hold it down tightly to do so. Otherwise, the entire lining just moved sideways with whatever direction I was pulling. With the two open pockets - the larger one I would use for my phone - they just move around and then hang in a weird way. And because of the pleather (?) trip around, the larger one pulls up when trying to remove the phone. The stiff trim on thin, loose fabric just doesn't work well.
Had it been smaller, I might've been tempted to keep it. But I know I'd have constant issues with the interior lining. I think it would end up tearing fairly quickly. And until then, I'd be constantly fighting with it moving around and sagging instead of holding my things properly. The thin material is part of the problem, but because it's also not secured down anywhere except where it attaches around the top rim of the purse opening, it's just a bad combination.
I actually prefer smooth/silky interior linings, but this one is just cheaply/poorly done. I've had other purses that manage to have pretty/silky interior fabric that is also sturdy and well secured in place.
All things considered, I'm returning this purse ASAP, with much disappointment.
If you are looking for a larger, sturdy/rigid type purse and don't plan on using the interior pockets, it might work out okay. I'd still be cautious about it tearing, depending on what you keep in it, though. But it is pretty at least! ;)
