So after having a vintage military bag as my purse for years I decided I needed something with pockets, something small but roomy that I can organize my things without stress. I loved the bag and still do, but I don't think I'd buy it again or recommend it. As much as its gorgeous, the quality on the inside does not match up.

Right away the bag felt like it was going to tear apart easily on the inside, I found seams loose and almost right away after using it a few times the inside's lining has torn apart to reveal the leather of the bag along with the sticky residue of whatever was holding it together. I had reached into my bag to grab my Epipen to show my doctor and wondered why things were so sticky and realized it was the glue from the bag. The main buckle that held the large flap shut came off, and it's obvious it's meant to do that, but getting it back on and staying has been a challenge.

Even though I got it on sale, I still think the quality of the bag is a major rip off. My army bag has lasted me for years and still has no problems, just a lack of pockets I need!! But so far this bag has been the only bag I've owned (and I've owned a lot of bags) that did not hold up as long and as well as it should have. And I'm disappointed in that. I expected to have this bag for years like my other bag, but I can see it'll probably only last me a short time until I can't take the stickiness of the glue whenever the bag tears more or re-tears after I fix it, or if something better and more practical comes around.

Good for looks and a simple day about, but not something for an every day thing with a lot of use.
