Elegant Hand Clutch
Color: Champagne Gold-satin
Phone will indeed fit inside, beautiful to carry or put on the chain, color was a little lighter than I thought champagne would have been; however, it worked very well. Will last for years details were very good.

Ok bags for the price
Color: Cream-woven
Disappointed gold looks cheap. Gold edging is very thin looking. There’s no puff at all to the weave. Returning the one with gold trim. *** Now, for the one that they call White with the silver trim this to me has a nicer look. The white is not a true white so if you’re looking for a true white,as I was, this is not it. It’s more of an off-white creamy tone. Not white as pictured. The silver of the clasp has a slightly aged tone to it. I think it would be prettier if it was a shiny silver, Clasp is nice and smooth to open and close. On both colors. I do think the white is a nice summer bag and could be used casually with jeans and a T-shirt.

Doesn’t Look Cheap
Color: Silver-satin
Perfect purse for formal occasions. Fits nicely in your hand and has a strap if you want that look. Very pleased with my purchase.
