text: I do not buy purses very often at all and carefully shopped for this one. I absolutely Love it and know it will last quite a while due to the quality soft  leather and solid construction.  It has enough pockets and pouches for everything to be organized and in its spot- I think this feature adds greatly to security as cash etc can be put in a spot that is quite hidden  and secured without compromising accessibility.  I bought the wine color and it is even prettier than the pix shows- very deep rich color.  There's only one thing I would change and its the front flap pocket-its not quite tall enough for my Iphone but oh so close... I thought the price was very fair as well.
