Bought this the first morning of the sale, and I could not be more excited to use this purse all fall and winter. The leather is soft and rich looking, and the size of this bag is perfect. After seeing it in the catalog, I was worried it might be too large in person but it is not overpowering. I went with the whiskey color which is a warm, lovely brown. Carrying this bag will add style to any outfit. If you are on the fence, I say go for it!
