The bag is with me, since October 2014 (for bought 39.99) in use and is overused tidy. She is always relatively heavy (lots of paper, 1 L bottle, etc. packed and yet show no signs of fatigue. The handle is not a little torn. That happened to me otherwise in briefcases quite often. I have to carry a relatively large amount, enough for me to pocket not always in terms of size, but for normal use is quite spacious. The pattern is great and the bag does not look so dull like my previous briefcases. Schön would have been a zippered pocket in the interior, but even that is too . get over by the quality, I am pleasantly surprised, the design is great I also have the right to purse Now I consider myself still zuzulegen a handbag variant;!. o)
