Purse looks exactly like the photo, and the strap adjusts to a very long length so you can comfortably fit it over your body or just on your shoulder.  I have used this purse regularly for 3 months and it does not show any signs of wear, included the gold colored buckles.  My only issue with the bag is space.  It will not fit a regular sized clutch with anything else in it, but it will fit a small wallet, travel container of baby powder, phone, mints case, and lip gloss very well.
