This purse is lovely! It really fulfills all the requirements a purse should. The leather is not supple, it is a hard sided partial REAL leather bag with some manmade leather for sturdiness, which is VERY popular right now. Check any store.The outside pocket has a zip for easy access. Perfect if you need to put something in there, like quick cash or a folded boarding pass. I use it for my iPhone 6s plus and about 3/4 of an inch sticks out. There is no way it would fall out unless the purse was turned upside down. I carry that side towards me so the phone is not accessible to others.The 2 zipper pockets are great and LARGE. One has 2 pockets for misc. You can stick your phone there if you prefer it inside the bag. I keep my business card case in one and cheaters in the other. The other large pocket has a smaller zipper pocket in it for my misc lip color and Motrin, etc. I fit an 8' x 5" notebook in that pocket. I LOVE that there are 2 bi directional zippers on the large pockets..such easy access. When using the purse, I identify that side is the same side as the outer zipper pocket so I don't keep opening the wrong zipper pocket.Here is the HUGE SELLING POINT for me. There is a middle pocket between the 2 large zipper pockets with a magnetic snap which really works! I keep my large wallet (the type that is large enough to carry a checkbook) there. I also keep a pair of sunglasses and my keys in there and it still closes and is NOT bulky. Such easy access to things I use constantly, without being noticeable to anyone or in an open area.The metal hardware is more of a gun metal gray, which is a unique and a great accent against my red bag. There are 2 handles and one shoulder strap. The shoulder strap is adjustable. There are 5 holes to chose for adjusting. You can wear it cross body, but I didn't find that overly comfortable, but that option would be great in a crowd. It is great for a shoulder bag.I'm so pleased with this bag and if you are a pocket purse lover, then this is the one for you!'';
