Got this bag in taupe and I love it. The tassel makes the bag as do the clips that make the bag shapely. The ONLY thing I wish was that there was a zipper pocket on the outside for my metro card - just makes it a lot easier for me because I live in the city and don't like to have to dig in my bag to get to it but this looks like a bag on one of the shopping networks that sells for several hundred dollars. I love the taupe color and the tassel and that I can wear it over my shoulder and that it has double straps (oh, and a long strap if I want to wear it crossbody).  Great price for a nice bag even if I only get one or two seasons out of it, I will be very happy!
