Venus

So sleek!  Venus is all about clean lines and sleek styling!  The side pleating design details are stunning.  They look as equally beautiful while worn as when the bag sits next to you.  The first thing I wanted to do when I held this gorgeous style was place her directly on my shoulder.  She is incredibly comfortable to wear.  At 10.2 inches, the strap drop is perfection and when you take one strap off the shoulder leaving the other one on, reaching inside was quite easy which I like.  Nothing fussy about her.  The interior is fitted with 5 sections and 2 of them, oh my heart, are completely leather lined so you get to see what feels like never ending delicious leather every single time you open your bag!  Because of the sections and wide top it was easy to see each of my belongings upon opening because they stay put, no digging around to find something and I like this much more than I anticipated.  For a top that opens so much, the zipper closure really pulls the bag in towards you while zipped turning this wide open handbag top very flat again.  I also adore how I decide how full or thin the handbag will look by the contents I place inside.  On days I want to carry very little, she stays close and is quite chic.  Absolutely love Venus!!!  Now on with some pictures!
