Review on 👜 Anuschka Women’s Leather Shoulder Bag with Hand-Painted Original Artwork - Anna by Cody Nordlund

What a beautiful bag! I've been looking for and reviewing bags for several months. It can be difficult to tell how big a bag is unless you see it in person so you can determine if your items fit as you think. I didn't need the large 13 x 13 or larger case that seems to be the standard size for so many wallets these days - they're either too big or too small. I wanted a bag with a wide bottom, at least 4 inches so it would be much easier to find things. I also wanted a zippered pocket to protect it from the rain. I wanted blue and I love pink so I was intrigued when I saw this bag and it was on sale. I wasn't sure if it was tall enough, but the bag looks huge in the photo where the bag is on the body. I also need a lighter bag that doesn't stretch my neck and shoulders. So I ordered this bag hoping it would fit me. I love her so much! It has a high quality lining that is not so thin that it tears if touched. The lining is beige so you can see what's inside. The center divider area of the zip is well secured at both ends and is easy to access when the bag is open. Although it's shorter than I wanted, it's still roomy enough. There's a small pocket on the outside (reinforced at the top so that it doesn't tear) next to the outside of the zipper. At first I didn't understand what it was, but it fits my car keys perfectly. It will also hold my little old iPhone. I'm so glad I finally found the right size and color bag. It was more money than I was willing to spend but this is a bag that will last for years. I gave 4 stars instead of 5 because the main compartment doesn't have a zipper (there's a magnet closure at each end, which is much better than a single magnet closure) and since the handles aren't articulated, I can't fold them onto the side.
