Good option for people that carry a lot with them
Color: Silver
Very pretty purse for a dressy occasion. I always carry a lot of stuff with me and this actually can fit it. The option to be able to unfold the top to give it more room to put stuff in is fantastic! I love the 2 different strap options as well. It comes in a nice drawstring bag for storage. Very happy with this purchase.
