"Okay so I wanted to get a handbag unlike any of the bags that I already own... So I opted for this bag in the Berry color... The color I would say is very consistent with the picture (almost spot on...) The bright pink/purple takes a little getting used too but I really think that this color compliments the gold hardware quite well. Speaking of the hardware... In my opinion the picture made the chains look rather thin and made me fear that this bag would not be durable, but luckily this is not the case. The hardware of this bag seems very solid, and I am not concerned about it falling apart any time soon... However all the chains do weigh the bag down significantly, but not enough to make me want to return the bag. In addition I do not think that the straps with the chains would be very comfortable if you had a lot of weight to carry. ,but luckily the long adjustable strap does not have chains attached and can be quite long or short depending on our preference. Another thing that I did not like about this bag is the fact that if the bag is not folded, as shown in the stock photo that leaves about 5"" of the bag open ( although there is a magnetic enclosure at the top). Overall I really like this bag... With the 2 additional straps ( one short chained, one long without chains), there are so many styles that can be worn with this bag and at only $32 you can't beat the price! "
