I bought this bag for Christmas and loved it at first sight, The leather is extremely soft but quite thin. Much to my disappointment the leather has split in two places in 2 months. I do use it as my everyday bag but I have done that with all my leather handbags over the years and this is the first to do that. Also the front small pockets are very small and almost unusable, and I can't fit my keys or my phone in them. I wouldn't recommend this product for everyday use but its lovely to look at.
