Fortunately, I could buy this with half the original price as it was advertised on an online shopping website.

(Reason) It is my most favorite item because of its style and convenience. (Example) In terms of style, its color is dark brown and it has a round shape, which looks a bit vintage but unique andfashionable.

(Reason) In addition, the bag is made of a special kind of waterproof leather so it is very ideal if I have to go out carrying this bag in rainy weather, I will not have to be worried that my stuff inside will get wet. (Example) It is small andcomes in handy whenever I am in a rush and need to carry many things. Although it seems to be quite small but when I open it, there is a lot of space for me to put necessary things such as my phone, a lipstick, a purse and a perfume bottle. It is a multipurpose bag as I can both go to work or hang out with friends. I hope I can carry this bag for a long period as I really love it and look good in it.
