My husband bought this purse for me last year for my birthday. I love how it looked. But the wallet never closed once I actually put all my debt cards and check book in it. And by month six the handles already started falling apart. Now all of the handles are completely cracked and I can see the padding. It cuts my shoulders open. I would not recommend this purse to be purchased unless you are not find to be using it all the time.  Not worth the money that I spent on it that is for sure.
