I'm very picky when it comes to handbags, but at the age of 20, I knew I needed to get a nice one that I would be able to use for a while. I did a lot of research on this bag. I read every review there was out there. I heard nothing but great things, so I decided to splurge! 175$ is a lot of money for a college student, but as soon as I opened the package, I knew it was going to be worth it! I fell in love with this purse, it was the perfect color, size, and had the simplicity I was looking for. A classic style with the modern flap and gold detailing. If you are debating purchasing this bag, just go for it, you won't be disappointed.
