Hi CP dont i want to disappoint you but there was a thread on this particular tote cant remember were its gone were someone was going to buy this and changed their mind which i replied to. The handles dont look too strong to me if u want to carry a lot and the price seems to good to be true. Also the leather is not up to scratch. 5 bays is no problem for us women but men well thats another story. He he he!!!
But saying that wait and see it irl before u decide. If not u can always send it right back hope u love it the colour is fab.
Whats good for the goose isn't always good for the gander. Or the other way round.
Let me know what happens. xxx
Ive found the thread just realised you were on that particular thread so u know what ur letting yourself in for that means its ok and im sure u will love it.
