This is my first Rioni handbag. I had been reading all the good reviews of this product and decided to treat myself to this bag. I would give this item 10 stars if I could. The bag weighs about 1 pound 8 ounces by itself and after putting all my stuff in the bag it weighed 3 pounds 14 ounces. However, the bag does not feel heavy at all. I was considering getting the large boston bag, because I was not sure all my daily stuff would fit in it. I am really glad I got the small bag. I am able to fit a large wallet, checkbook, notebook with calendar, keys, cell phone, cosmetic bag and I still have room. What a beautifully made handbag!! A detachable shoulder strap and a Rioni storage pouch were included. I would definitely recommend this bag.
