Really sturdy and firm, not cheap material at all. I bought it in black for my mom but I would buy it in more colors for her as well.

I love my purse! The red is a stunning color and I am so happy with this purchase. Only thing is the fabric/material was a little bent on the side and I am not sure it will come out. I have it hung up now with a heavy book in it to see if it can stretch it out. Other than that I love the purses.
