When it comes to purses, I am picky. Must haves: Crossover bag...Sufficient pockets to categorize items...Open pocket for cell phone and car key...Comfortable strap...Preferably non-leather...Wider base so most of my stuff snuggles in the bottom (I prefer to avoid zipping the purse closed for day-to-day use).As soon as I purchase a new purse, I start looking for the next one. I've typically purchased Rosetti's; however, I've been less than impressed with their offerings of the past year, and the straps on the crossbody bag I purchased from them last cuts into my neck due to how it is attached. I have NEVER purchased one online before because I like to check how my stuff fits before I commit. I hate having to return anything to Amazon, so I spend lots of time considering a piece before I purchase.Shopping through Amazon's offerings, I found this one and immediately liked the look, measurements, and definitely its price. Knowing I could return it, I ordered one.I could not be more happy with this purchase. The extra width at the bottom--not shared with outer pockets (compartmentalized)--makes my items easy to reach. My previous purse was taller (necessary to fit my items) and made things difficult to reach/retrieve.In fact, I love this purse so much that I purchased a 2nd one today. I may buy a 3rd one.My only complaint is the zipper because I do not like zippers with unattached tongues. BUT...I can live with this because I LOVE the rest of the purse. And honestly, it does not interfere (I tucked the tongue inside).It fits comfortably on my body, and the longer strap means I can have the purse just where I want it (I'm long waisted). (Some crossbody bags have shorter straps, such as the Rosetti I mentioned).
