Thank you everyone for such nice comments. Addisonshopper,I agree, It is a pricey bag.The constuction of the bag is excellent, and the inside is made of quilted satin.It is hard to tell from the pics,There is added bead work to the front of the bag,sewn to the gold mesh.What excited me about the bag, was the chunky chain.My only complaint is that it won't fit on the shoulder.
