“Summer staple”

Very much love this bag. The only thoughts I have are : First the handles are quite thin. I like the look, but they can be uncomfortably thin when holding. The Second thought is that the inside lining is quite flimsy and the pockets too shallow. My phone and wallet fall out too easily. The zippered pocket is quite small. Just a bit more and it would be perfect. That said, I have gotten lots and lots of compliments on the look. It presents beautifully
