"I'm fairly short, about 5'3", and this bag overwhelms me......however, I love the style and of course FP never spares a detail! I doubt I ever carry it as an everyday purse, but will use it as a travel bag/carry-on. Great concept, I really do wish it were smaller so I could tote it every day! It even looks huge with the model holding it so I shoulda figured as much :0) Like another reviewer said, no lining and extra large; I prefer a zipper but if it's just used as a tote a little tie will suffice. Too cute to return, that is for sure, especially for the price. Gotta love FP!"
