I bought this for my 19 y/o daughter. I narrowed my search down to a few, and she chose this one.<br /><br />I understand that you get what you pay for, however, I assumed this purse would last at least 6 months to a year. It, in fact, only lasted about 1 and 1/2 weeks.<br /><br />The purse appeared to be the quality one would expect for the price. The stitching looked decent, and overall, it matched the pictures. However, after only about a week of use, the seam one one side of the purse popped open. When my daughter told me, I told her &#34;No big deal. I'll just stitch it for you. Just be careful with it until you can bring it over.&#34; She planned on bringing it to me that weekend, but on Friday, as she was leaving work, the strap broke. And it wasn't just at a seam. It BROKE IN TWO! It was not something I felt I should or could fix, so I returned it.<br /><br />I will say that I had no problems with the return process, but I am uncertain as to whether that is because of the company, or if it was Amazon's doing.<br /><br />Overall, a pretty big disappointment. My daughter really liked the look of this purse.
