I have this bag in black and I have been using it a couple of days now. It can be used as a satchel or a small briefcase. I has several compartments to hold phone, keys, lipstick, etc. Its seems to be pretty sturdy and the faux leather is a nice quality. I don't think it looks cheap at all like one of the reviews states nor do I think it is too stiff.. It looks like a good quality bag you would buy in big name stores at the mall. It has a real nice lining and It came in a storage back (love that).It was well packed in the box, but it was slightly folded and luckily a crease did not develop. I would like to get it in red too when it restocks.
