Nucelle High Quality Real Genuine Classic Boston Shoulder Bag / Fasion Handbag--black

When I first got this purse I instantly fell in love with it. It was very beautiful and appealing to the eyes. The detail was just right for me. It wasn't over the top; it was just right. I'm a person that doesn't like flashy purses so this one more than fit the bill for me. The strap on the purse was great as well. I had been looking for a purse that had a strap that was long enough for me. I easily found that in this purse. I'd spent hours, days, weeks and months (if you can believe it) looking for just the right purse. The price had to be right (it couldn't break the bank). To be honest this purse was a little pricey for me but I made an exception because I believed that it was a great buy. I would have been happy with a $15, $20 or $25 purse if I believed that it would last me or if had the long strap that I needed but I couldn't find one. So one night I was surfing on Amazon and there it was. Like I said a little more than what I wanted to pay but I made an exception. The purse was black and it didn't have a lot of "extra" things going on with it and it wasn't a crazy, off the wall color. Very classic color. It was large enough to carry what I needed. It actually had too much room in it but I didn't think that would last long. I liked the gold detail on the purse and that although it had the long strap; it had the shorter straps as well. I most certainly liked the duffel bag style as well and being that the zipper was on the top made it even better. It was wrapped in its own version of a store shopping bag (like the ones Publix and WalMart are making now) and I thought that was a nice touch. It had the name Nucelle on the bag and it had red trim. It was so pretty. I could carry that bag with me shopping if I wanted to. I told a couple of friends about it who knew that I was looking for just the "right bag for me". Anyway I didn't carry it all the time because there were some places I preferred not to carry it because I didn't want to be always trying to keep up with it. On those days I would carry my everyday very small bag that I could keep with me at all times. I'd had the bag almost going on 3 months when I discovered one of the clasps on the bag had broken. The last time I had carried the bag had been about 3 weeks prior to that. In total I probably carried this bag no more than 6 times since I've owned it and nothing that I've done would warrant this happening to the bag. At the time the clasp on the bag broke it was just sitting on my bed and had been for about 3 weeks (untouched). So I know that it's through no fault of my own that something happened to this bag. I'm very disappointed that this happened to my purse because I just knew that I was going to have this purse for years and years to come. I don't know if it was just my purse that had a defect but I'm sure going to try and get to the bottom of it. Because I don't pay $110+ for a purse everyday so when I do I expect it to last almost until eternity.
