"Did not meet expectations at all. Returning."
Just a faded, very wrinked cotton-ey looking bag that is too small for groceries and needs to be ironed. Took us 10 minutes to fold it back into original case. Fairly thick/heavy so not even a good idea for compact travel. Cannot believe these are $44. It has been several days and Novica has yet to send me an RMA.

"Beautiful Shoulder Bag"
My shoulder bag is beautiful and just the right size. The woven cloth and lining are made with care and the colors are perfect. The crocheted rose is another example of the excellent work of the artist. I am so happy with this product and appreciate the work that went into creating it. Thank you.

"Perfect for a small bag!"
When I originally purchased this bag, I thought it would be larger. Since then Ive come to love its small size.
