This is a beautifully made bag, very distinctive, and the contrast black/white/red goes with almost anything in my wardrobe. This tote shape and size is what works best for me. My only concern about the bag, that keeps it from perfect for me, is that it is very heavy. The quality materials used aren't lightweight versions of car seat belts - they're just as heavy and sturdy as what's in your car. What it should be, but it does get heavy on my arm or my shoulder.
