The purse is beautiful and very stylish...but, if you are a small statured woman this purse may be too big and too heavy. When attempting to access a weapon through the zippers is difficult because the zippers are too short. If you have a small caliber handgun, you may be able to access with ease. If you want to access your handgun from the top flap of the purse, you have to hold the flap back with one hand, unzip the purse, and still holding open the flap, then you can retrieve the weapon. The flap of the purse does not stay secure because there is only one, almost, quarter-sized magnet sewn in the flap when there should be at three because of the weight of the leather.
