This is the perfect carry purse. Why? Not only because it's well made, but the cross-body option is absolutely necessary for city carry. I've been using this purse for the past 2 weeks and see nothing to complain about. Every time I take it out, a woman compliments me on this bag. The color is really orange, and obviously pumpkin in nature. It pops against most of my wardrobe, which is more conventional and businesslike and well, black and gray. I would also like to see this purse in a burnt orange, not so bright. It's great though and my fav of all my purses. And, there's plenty of room for my little clear airline bag for liquids, a wallet, glasses case ...
