Quality not Quantity.
I saw this tote on our vacation to Seattle last year.  Talked myself out of buying it because of the price.  Unfortunately, I spent the year thinking about it. After looking everywhere for a purse that would be &#34;almost as good&#34; but not finding one, I decided to bite the bullet and buy it.  So glad I did.  My goal this year is quality, not quantity and this meets that description.  Just by holding it I can tell this is a beautifully, well made item that will last me years and years and will only get better.  You wouldn't think a plain navy canvas tote would attract much attention, but with a simple scarf tied to it, I received so many compliments the first day I wore it.  It is also very comfortable on my shoulder even when full (and it holds a ton).  The leather straps are a bit stiff now, but I know they'll soften and form to my shoulder with use.<br />The only small thing to know about this purse is it has two pockets on the inside, but does not have a small zippered pocket.  I just use a cosmetics bag in there for necessities.<br />I love this purse.  Worth every penny.
