"This bag is wonderful, a little too long though. I tied the ends in a large knot and it workss wonderfully for my use. I had bought it to use only in the summer months, but the colors are so deep and vibrant that I will use it year around. I've had many complements and questions about where I got it etc. It is a great buy for the money. I would definately recommend this to a friend."

"I love it :) It is just beautiful, the strap is long but that is something that I love... I can carry it with the strap accross my body.. I love the colors on it :) it is by far one of the cutest bags I have ever boughten and I love this bag so much that I'm going to buy another one to have for later on... there was a minor smell to the bag so what I did was put a few light sprays of my favorite perfume around the bag and then put it in the dryer on air fluff and after about 10 minutes the smell was gone... Im very picky when it comes to purses and I can honestly say that my purse searching headache days are finally over!!! as I have searched and searched for what I consider to be my dream bag... I would suggest this bag to women every where as it is truely a beautiful bag that is worth having... It is so different and unique, it is to me- the perfect bag :) I wouldn't suggest carrying everything but the kitchen sink though, as this bag is meant for light things... It is not the kind of bag that you want to carry ten pound items in :) It isn't designed for all of that... so if you think you want to get this bag then I suggest that you clean out your origional bag first like I did and figure out whats really important and needed and what isn't for this bag :) It is by far the best bag I have ever carried and it is the only one I will ever carry again :)"

"Simply stated, this is a beautiful bag. The picture doesn't do it justice. The colors are rich and vibrant, and it is soft in texture. There was a bit of a musty odor, but after a day or two of airing the odor went away. I bought it as birthday gift for my niece, and she absolutely adores it."

"The purse was a gift and well received. The purse was just as pictured and the silk fibers beautiful. The best part is helping women in small villages earn valuable income by purchasing it.
The only complaint was that the purse has an unpleasant smell. There was a note in the bag saying that it would need to be aired out as it had come over on a long ocean voyage, however don't most imports?
We aired it out a week before we gave the gift and it still smelled. The odor was not of the natural silk fibers but was almost a combination of fuel oil and mildew and was quite acrid and unpleasant. I mentioned to the giftee that if the smell did not go away after airing it a bit longer, that we should return it."

"Should have kept it for myself! The colors were beautiful. The craftsmanship was great. It was true to the picture (slight color variation), and of heavier quality than I'd expected. Wish I hadn't given it away for Christmas!"

"I bought this handbag for my 18 year old daughter for Christmas. She was very happy with the purse. She calls it bohemian chic and has ceased using her other handbags for the time being to use this one exclusively. ."

"The product arrived in great shape. The colors are perfect. What a unique gift! There is one downside however. It smells very musty, as if it's been in storage for a while. I just sprayed it with Febreeze and problem solved."

"so the bag was not at all the colors in the picture. i was expecting to get a colorful, mostly turquoise purse. instead it ended up being mostly deep red with other colors accented throughout. i bought this as a gift for my mom and luckily she likes the colors that it is. i was disappointed but it did end up working anyways"

"This is the second time I have purchased this bag for my daughter. She carried the first one for 2 years, as a teenager and she loved it to pieces. The strap got really streached out and the lining ripped. I ordered her another one and she got it for Christmas and she was so happy she almost cried. This is a very good buy. She is very hard on purses and normal people wont be as hard on it as she is, nontheless she got lots of complements on it."
