This is my first B. Makowshy bag and I am in love! I was searching for the perfect black basic bag, I am not the type to switch my handbag with every outfit. The leather is soft and supple but durable. Nice length of the handle straps. I love the cell phone pocket on the outside of the back of the bag, so handy! The inner compartment holds my wallet, makeup bag and sunglasses perfectly. There are also two inner side pockets, great for things you need to grab quickly. The bag itself is not too big and not too small, just perfect. I will be using this bag alot. Thanks Amazon!
