This was perfect for a wedding! I have to carry an inhaler and Epi pen wherever I go. Try getting an Epi pen inside most cocktail purses -- it isn't happening! They both fit perfectly in this purse along with emergency medicine, a compact, a lipstick, a lip liner, small hair brush, my car keys, and my cell phone. It still closed flat and looked beautiful so that i could carry it as a clutch. It does come with a pretty gold chain, and I can use that in the future. It is made with good quality material. It didn't have any smell coming out of the packaging, and the gold areas had the extra protective coverings. I'm sure that I will be using this for many functions in the future. In fact, I may buy other colors since I have this lovely neutral.
