I bought this purse in May 2022 and have used it almost daily (this writing is Oct 2023) since the purchase. It has held up nicely. There is not one loose seam or sign of damage. I am not rough on a purse but using it daily for work and shopping usually warrants a little wear and tear. It was a little dirty so I just washed it for the first time as instructed in the manufacturer's description which is wash on gentle cycle with cold water. I unhooked the shoulder strap and zipped it up inside the purse. I also washed it inside a garment bag. It looks great after the machine wash! I would highly recommend this purse. It is comfortable to carry on your shoulder and also has handy hand straps. It sturdiness is excellent as well. I am not one to change purses if I don't have to so this purse has been an excellent choice for me. It holds a lot of items, is well made, and sturdy!
