<Problem analysis of the product>

   It has an inconvenient clasp

   It is too heavy

   The front cover is too long and the inside cover panel is too high

   The fabric and colour are not gorgeous enough for the price

<Consumer review_26-year-old woman>

   The clasp is not gorgeous and is inconvenient

   The fabric is ugly and does not fit with the brand concept

   The colour is awful

   Having just one way to open it is not good

   The inside packing area should be divided

   The size of the bag is unuseful

<Suggestions>

   Add an opening zipper instead of a button for easy opening

   The fabric is rare

   The handle length is unuseful
