This handbag is beautifully crafted, with a plum stitching and plum faux-suede strap that offset the black "leather" & metal rings perfectly. To me, this bag is a chameleon - it looks sexy with jeans or professional at the office. Plus it holds EVERYTHING! One thing that really surprised me is how soft it is (you know how alot of faux leather feels like galoshes or plastic), my cat Kibble loves to sleep on it. 5 stars!
