I can’t decide whether to like this bag or not. It is definitely not ugly, but if I were asked to point out it’s beauty, I’m stumped. I like the interesting shoulder strap, but I think the opening is too small for us to be able to wear it on our shoulder. I know it’s not a shoulder bag, it is a tote, which means you should carry it in your hand. However, this bag is shaped so much like a shoulder bag that my first instinct would be to wear it on my shoulder.
I’m also not so sure about the protruding twisted seams; it looks like they are trying to make wavy lines with them. However, they do not turn out as nice waves, they are more like crooked lines. Luckily, the flat twisted seams came out nicely, but they are not as noticeable next to the protruding seams. Oh well, at least the belted tassels were done well; they add nice accents to the bag and make the bag look like it has a cinched waist.
