Fiction. Asian & Asian American Studies. LGBTQIA Studies. Women's Studies. SMALL BEAUTY tells the story of Mei, a mixed race trans woman managing the death of her cousin, the ways she contorts to navigate racism and transphobia, and her desire for community as she takes an opportunity to leave the city and revisit a town from her family's past, where she discovers queer family history while parsing through her own anger and trauma. Cycling through time, points of view, and rural and city life, the novel introduces us to Mei's community in fictional Dundurn and Herbertsville, loosely based on Southern Ontario places: Annette and Connie, other Asian trans women from the drop-ins; Sandy, Mei's older cousin and constant (if aggressive) support; Diane, an older lesbian with a pick-up and secret links to Mei's blood family; and Nelson, a presence lost before found, whose story is told in pictures sewn into a suitcase. Interspersed with one culminating night-time lake scene, the book carries us through these stories and towards their completion as the frustrating, necessary web that keeps Mei attached to the world.

Excellent Leather Quality - Beautiful Handbag
Beautiful handbag. I usually only buy designer handbags of good quality. I am fond of a particular Tory Burch handbag that is no longer made. When I saw this handbag, which is similar in looks to the bag I can no longer find by Tory Burch, I decided to take a chance because it was on sale at an amazingly reasonable price. I am so glad I did. The bag is gorgeous, stitching impeccable, and leather excellent quality. Love all the interior pockets. Lining in side is beautiful. Also, not heavy even with all my stuff in it--do not hesitate to buy this bag. It is a very good find on Amazon.

Great purse!
Color: Coffee-lichee
Beautiful purse! The stitching is great and the leather is so soft. This purse has lots of room while not feeling big and bulky. Will purchase from this brand again.

Mostly Open Tote, with Pockets
Color: Grey-lichee
I love this bag. It's large enough for a short shopping trip, but not so big it drags when carried by hand (I'm short, so it's a factor). I like the pebbled surface but wish the bottom had little feet to protect the leather when set down. It has 1 zipped external pocket and 2 internal zipped pockets, although the second inside one could use a bit of structure; it flops, tending to cover items in the main compartment. It is high quality otherwise, fully lined, and a good value. I use it frequently, with enjoyment.

Nicest bag I’ve ever owned. Designer quality, obsessed.
It’s still hard to believe that how nice this bag is and that it’s mine and that I got it in Amazon. I’ve been searching for a high quality bag and was willing to pay 3x this price... I have many designer bags and somehow this is better than anything I’ve ever owned. I’m so happy I tried this out because I’ll never own another bag again. I literally get asked everywhere I go where I got my bag and everyone’s shocked to hear it was Amazon. I want it in every color... red is next for my bday! The leather is insanely high quality, straps are *LONG,* COMFY AND STURDY... Normally shoulder bag straps are either too short or so thin that they hurt/feel unreliable. So many inside pockets plus an outside pocket... It fits so much yet it’s not a big ugly tote.. it’s still a shoulder purse. I carry a giant wallet, small wallet, mints, chapstick, medication, a giant core water... and more and it all fits perfectly and straps are comfy. Literally obsessed... also I’ve never written a paid review before, this is not one, I just seriously love this bag so much.
