I am a purse snob, usually only using fancy known brands of real leather. Dooney,Coach,LV,Hermes etc. This purse is pretty. it is Not real leather,not metal extra long zippers , but for the price it's beautiful. Lots of pockets,not heavy like real leather. shorter Arm strap leather fits over my shoulder without long strap. It is cute I bought khaki which looks like a taupe. I love the color. Perfect for purse lover without the money to buy purse in the hundreds. Pretty. Perfect and Looks like the expensive purse to viewers. Not the same as the really expensive heavy leather ones but perfect in every other way. Better maybe because rain won't ruin, color gorgeous, perfect looking. I think plastic zippers make it look cheaper inside but no one sees them and lighter weight better. Beautiful
