Beautiful bag. Does not look cheap. Mine came bent at the base so it wouldn't stand straight. But I'm sure once the food went away then it would be sturdy enough to to stand on its own. True to color. I will be returning this bad because it doesn't meet my needs. I need a large tote for corporate job that needs to be polished (yes this purse does look perfectly polished) but large enough to to hold a small pair of walking shoes and a normal sized soft lunch cooler. No way this can handle that. Also the base is less than 12&quot; in width. While the top part might be 16&quot;, the shape of the purse won't allow me to fit everything I need.
