text: This purse was perfect for the first four-or-so months. Really great looking for work, nicely sturdy, with a smooth and convenient carry strap. It felt really well made. I liked that it had an open area plus at least one zippered pouch.<br /><br />Then one day, one of the zippers split open while it was supposed to be closed. I could force-correct the zipper to close and work for awhile, but it kept happening. After a while, the splitting occurred more frequently to the point that one side pouch it really doesn't stay closed and the other opens at inopportune times. In full disclosure, I carry some lumpy stuff - a big key ring, a bi-fold wallet, big sunglasses, a cellphone, and small tablet (sometimes) and various other bits and bobs. I think the lumpiness of my purse's contents maybe caused the zipper(s) to bend awkwardly since they're along the outside edges of the purse. In any case, if you like a medium sized satchel with pockets to carry a lot of stuff, you might be better with one that has a zipper pouch through the middle and a magnetic clasp across the top.<br /><br />Also, I purchased my purse at Macy's though it's this exact style.
