I was surprised at the size. In the pictures, it looked a little more tote-like? I'm used to sizable purses, but other than that, I can't deny how cute and unique it is, and it's still big enough for quite a few items. It's not TOO small or anything. I'm guessing it's the price it is because it's suede? I got the brown one with the back color down the middle and it came in good shape. No complaints. I'm not used to suede purses, so the first thing I'm going to do is buy some suede cleaner.
