It's around 8 inches in height and 12 inches wide , the straps are about 25 1/2 inches long-yes ;)the purse has somewhat of a softness to it. I purchased years ago at a vintage / punk place. I always had compliments from people how beautiful it is. And asked where did I get it. It was kept in storage. I'm a purse freak! Lol have many ..Stored in a non-smokers home;)it has a snap to close and one smaller pocket inside , for smaller items.
