I love this purse. St. Patrick's Day is my favorite holiday and I had been looking for a good green purse for a while. This was better than I expected. The purse is perfect and I got a ton of compliments on it during all my parties, parades, and other celebrations this month.The rainbow strap has a wire in it, which means it's really easy to hold. Another reviewer and the seller both told me the strap was too small to carry on your shoulder, but it wasn't for me. It fit right under my arm, perfectly, just the way I like it.It really does look like a pot o' gold and the "gold coins" (made of cloth) on top is a brilliant touch.It held my camera (Canon powershot), smartphone, small wallet, and a few other things very well.The purse closes via drawstring. I did make a modification: the slots where the strings came out were way too big and the strings kept slipping inside. I sewed the slots almost completely closed and re-knotted the string ends to make the ends bigger and now I don't lose the strings anymore.I definitely recommend this for St. Patrick's Day or anything else Irish.
