I've had this little purse barely two weeks so I can't speak to how well it will hold up over time, but it SEEMS very well made. I am pleased. I read the one star reviews and find myself wondering if they received a completely different purse than I received. First, mine does not stink - at all. The zippers appear to be strong. It looks and feels like a quality purse. Now for details:

It measures 8 3/4 tall x 6 3/4 wide, and has MANY pockets. The very top, main compartment is zippered . There are no inside pockets or dividers in this largest compartment of the purse.

On the front of the purse there are two zippered compartments. They are roomy. I can put my hand all the way down in them easily. Then there is a rounded zippered pouch on the front that zips almost all the way around, but not quite all the way to the bottom on either side. It has cloth slots inside, on the purse side, for three credit cards. My credit cards fit snugly enough that they won't fall out easily, but not so snug that they are at all difficult to take out. On the flap side, it has a clear "window view" pocket for your drivers license. Again, my driver license fits snugly enough not to fall out, but not so snug as to be difficult to take out (unlike in my wallet!!).

My Samsung S7 phone, which is in a slightly clunky case, fits easily in the larger of the two front compartments. Room to spare on both sides, but if it were much taller it would be too tall to zip the compartment. It does not fit in the smaller front compartment, nor in the rounded credit card pouch.

An LG G3 phone in a slightly clunky Otterbox case is a hair too tall for the larger of the front pockets. It fits in the pocket VERY comfortably, with room to spare on both sides, but is a tad too tall to zip the compartment. Without the Otterbox, I THINK it would just barely zip. And of course it is too tall for the smaller pocket.

The BACK of the purse has one zipper compartment. My Samsung S7 fits very comfortably in it and the compartment zips up, but if it were much taller, it would not zip. The LG G3 fits comfortably in this back pocket, but again, it is too tall for the compartment to zip. Without the Otterbox I THINK it might zip. Not positive though.

Further down on the back there is a flat pocket with no zipper. It is a perfect fit for the LG G3. The top of the Otterbox shows slightly, but since it happens to be black like the purse, you don't even notice it. It is a snug enough fit that it doesn't fall out easily, but if I turn the purse upside down, the phone WILL fall out. It is not so snug as to be the slightest bit difficult to take the phone out quickly when you need it. It slips in and out of this pocket easily, but would only fall out by itself if the purse is turned upside down.

Of course, the LG G3, in its Otterbox, fits VERY EASILY, with room to spare on the sides and the top, in the main (center) compartment of the purse. I think most phones would fit in that compartment. The opening is 5 1/4 inches across. A phone 7 1/2" tall would fit in the main compartment. The LG G3, in its Otterbox cover, is less than 6 1/4" tall.

If I make the strap as LONG as it goes, it is 26" long on each side. In other words, if I hang the purse on a hook and measure from the hook (the top of the strap) down to the metal circle that holds the strap on one side of the purse, it measures 26 inches.
And of course, there is a metal circle on the other side of the purse and from the top of the strap to THAT metal circle is also 26 inches.

If I make the strap as SHORT as it goes, it is then doubled and is 13 1/4" long on each side. In other words, if I hang it on a hook and measure from the hook (the top of the strap) down to the metal circle that holds the strap on one side, it measures 13 1/4" inches. And of course, there is a metal circle on the other side of the purse and from the top of the strap hanging on a hook to THAT metal circle is also 13 1/4 inches.

Overall, it seems like a very nice purse, and as of right now, I do recommend it.

I like this purse. I have the XL size in several colors. It has a large zipper area at the top. I use that pocket for my cell phone which I have in a phone case that holds credit cards too so it is a little bulky. It has 3 other zipper pockets for your other purse items. It has a 5th zipper area that opens out & has about 3 slots for credit cards & your ID. In addition, you could put paper money & coins in this area or your lipstick for quick access. It can be worn cross body or the straps are adjustable.

The perfect size. I use it for everyday. Nice for traveling, too.

I have had this same bag for a number of years just in a different color. I always return to the same one when I need a new one.

Lots of zippers not alot of room inside but all leather, color good. For the price it's nice.
