I purchased this for a bride who would not buy it for herself. Her mother reported that the purse is beautiful, a good size. The bride was thrilled.

It’s ok.
Color: Multi Color, Color: Multi Color
It’s really pretty. From a distance. Not worth the price point. Probably worth like $15. The craftsmanship is terrible. And there’s glue all over the outside of the stones. It also is sticky and smells strongly. I’m hoping it’ll will dry and air out by the time I need it. it got here in two days which is rare where I am and it photographs well from a distance so that part is great for events. It’s large inside. Think could hold your cell, a friends cell, lipstick and pepper spray easy. The chain is cute. Overall I’d give it five stars if it wasn’t made sooooo badly and didn’t smell so terrible. Id return it if I had time before my event.

Such a pretty evening bag. Will complement many colors.
Color: Multi Color, Color: Multi Color
Such a pretty bag, but unfortunately I wasn't able to carry it to my event. When I added my lipstick, credit card… to the bag, the front slipped out of the frame (see photo). Doesn't appear to be attached. Since I really like the bag, I'm going to take it to my shoe repair shop to see if they can glue or secure the front into the frame. Btw, the back of the bag is a pretty shimmery silver. :-)
