text: I really liked this purse at first - it's very cute, and it's a great size.  However, the straps began to fray and then fall apart within a month.  I do carry a lot in my purse each day (water bottle, lunch for work, wallet, etc.), but the purse was not overly stuffed, and I have never had this problem with such a new bag.  Normally, non-leather purse straps do not begin to fray unless the purse is close to a year old.  I wish I could return the purse, but sadly, by the time I got around to dealing with this issue, I was just outside the one-month return period.  My fault, of course.  I would recommend that those looking for a bag that won't fall apart on them look elsewhere.  I have had great luck with Anne Klein bags in the past....
