I got this purse on special, for about $79. Definitely worth the money. I am not the most wealthy of people, but I like good, thick leather. My favorite purse for years has been an old tignanello purse -- which they don't make like that anymore. This purse is really roomy, the straps are solid and sewn in robustly. I LOVE THAT. I tend to throw a bunch of stuff in my purse, and my last purse the handles broke off within the month due to cheap PU leather and sewing. The design on this purse is really pretty, the colors are a bit shimmery. I am VERY happy with this purse. I've had it a few months now, and I'm pretty rough on my purses. I anticipate many happy years with it.
