I wanted a versatile black bag that didn't have too many compartments inside, and was washable and sturdy. This lovely Thai bag has a pin-stitched outer side, making it quilt-like, with three easy access compartments inside. It has a big pretty wood button closure on the top. There are two big pocket compartments sewn diagonally on the front and back for easy cell phone access and make up. I like everything about the bag, including that's it's cold water washable and line dry. The only suggestion to the manufacturer is the adjustable shoulder straps don't stay put, and one of the brass shoulder strap fixtures turns around, making the bag uneven. I fixed the problem with three small safety pins, and a few stitches. Otherwise, I rate this handbad with a strong 4!
