Customer Reviews
I thought this would be a cute gift. The stones are the colors shown in the picture but they are muted, which makes the appearance a little dull. The flap doesn't line up, so opening & closing is not smooth. The metal is so soft, it can easily be bent/adjusted into place to close. I expect that the hinges will not hold up to that for long. Reviewers were correct in stating it will go with jeans or formal attire. I imagine it will be a conversation piece due to its uniqueness. The worst feature is the chain. I realize it has to be heavy due to the weight of the purse but a more attractive/flat chain would look better and be more comfortable. Overall, for the price, even if you only use it a half-dozen times, it's a good purchase.
This little bag is beautiful. The work is so intricate and detailed. My only negative (and I am pretty critical) is the lining does not fit properly and some of the metal shows in the seams,but it is inside and most people will never see that flaw. I would recommend this bag. Good for a credit card, a few dollars,lipstick and tissue.
lovely bag, some gems were broken off when i received it in the mail but i just super glued them back on.
I like this purse because of the uniqueness but the round one is too small. The square one probably had more inside space but was sold out. For the money value it is worth buying. I could probably get lipstick, a very small mirror, keys and that's it. Maybe not my Blackberry!
I love this little purse for evenings where I just want my keys, ID, lip gloss and a little money. It was surprisingly heavy to me. That's not a bad thing since it feels sturdy, just something I wasn't expecting. I am glad I made the purchase.
