WHAT IS IT?

A coin purse from Accessorize.

THE DESIGN

It is a small purse with a zip at the top. Mine is navy blue but if they had had the green one I would have bought that because it looks a very attractive colour. The bow is cream and there is matching piping on the front of the purse. There are no compartments inside and it is tightly lined so that the lining won't catch in the zip.

WHAT I THINK

I bought this to go in a very thin clutch bag because I didn't have a purse small enough to go in there without making it bulge out. It's mainly a coin purse but you can fold up a note and fit it inside but credit cards fill up the interior too much. I like it because it is a very smart looking purse and also because the fabric part of the zip matches the colour of the purse.

The purse feels nice to carry in my hand because it is soft and smooth so I pick this one up quite a lot when I am going to walk to the shops just for one or two items and don't need to carry much cash. The zip works smoothly and it has never stuck even once, the purse doesn't open out very wide so if I end up with lots of coins during a night out I have to struggle to close the purse. I try not to overload it because I don't want to damage the zip or seams. The purse is only 12cm long so is compact to go in any of my small bags and it was the right size for me to lend to my daughter when she was on a school trip in June.

It only cost me £3.50 in the sale but the normal price is £5 and I think that is very cheap because the quality is so good. You can buy it in Accessorize stores or online.
