I was very pleasantly surprised with this tote bag. I travel a lot and this elegant bag is wonderful. The size is a little on the smaller side. But I didn't want a huge thing to lug around. The leather is first class and extremely soft and buttery. Texture is amazing. The handle straps are just the right length for shoulder carry and fine for hand carry also. Few totes come with a zipper closure and additionally comes with an inside zipper closure pocket near the top. It's an A plus product.
