Mini Paloma Studded Calfskin Satchel

I ordered this bag based on the five star reviews however no one said anything about the zipper part. Is it cute- absolutely. Is it stylish - you bet! Is it eye catching- yessss!! However, that top zipper is a pain. It functions like the jacket zipper where you have to align the two metal pieces a certain way or else it won’t work. Imagine standing in a crowded area with this bag filled with daily essentials and trying to align those darn metal pieces so your stuff won’t fall out. What a shame, I would’ve kept it if not for this obvious flaw in design. It’s really not a functional zip top. If the zipper is not taken apart every time I need to pull out something from the bag, it is more geared towards someone who likes miniature tote style cute bags. It’s not for me, I returned it.
