This is THE most perfect purse anyone could purchase. I love how soft it is and quite roomey. Fit my Blackberry and agenda perfectly with no crowding issues.

I own several different DA purses but this purse is my favourite – I\’ve used it to death twice. Now I want my third

I LOVE this handbag!!! I have two of them… they’re perfect for carrying everything you’ll ever need in a compact, neat way. No rummaging in the bottom of a large purse… this bag holds as much as my old ‘gaping hole’ bags and much more conveniently!! Kudos to who designed this one.

Just obtained this purse and find it to be excellent. Organized really well so can hold lots of things, but compact at the same time. Absolutely love Derek Alexander purses.

I have bought this purse four times in a row now. It looks great, it lasts extremely well (all Derek Alexander purses that I’ve bought have done so), it’s smartly-designed, and at this point, I would be made if I couldn’t still buy this model, but they always are still carrying it!
