I purchased three handbags; "Nutmeg Meadow" & "Thai Sapphire" for myself, & "Ruby Elephant" for a good friend of mine. Although they looked larger on the model in the photos, they are all just perfect! They go beyond perfect, really, and into the "stunning" realm. All of the materials, from the fabric to the metal &/or beaded accents are gorgeous. I used the "Thai Sapphire" handbag yesterday & was not disappointed whatsoever. The design of these lovely bags seems well thought-out, & expertly crafted. The strap stayed on my shoulder, the bag stayed tucked against my side, everything was easy to find, & no matter how much I stuffed into the bag it never felt or looked bulky. Another feature I really like are the wider sections of the straps set just above the compartment area. This design feature, while visually pleasing, makes dropping things into the bag a sure thing. No more items bouncing off the edge of my bag onto the floor, no more keys catching an edge to droop over the side...& eventually fall to the floor. Also, these wider strap sections help protect the contents once they are inside the compartment; an excellent benefit when shopping in crowded stores & markets. I love everything about these handbags & hope to someday own at least one in every color! Oh, and my friend LOVES her new "Ruby Elephant" handbag (& is planning to purchase "Blue Blossoms" for herself). I presented the bag to her yesterday & she's already decided it's THE bag she's taking for her upcoming cruise. So, from me & my very happy friend...Thank you very much!
