The structure of the handbag holds up so nicely that the handles do not show the minimal tear. You would have to literally stretch or pull the handle apart to see. It's very completely fit to be used. Still in the same condition. I did not use it. Too big for me. Dimensions in inches: 13 wide, 7 1/2 tall, 6 depth Reposhing this item I purchased from @queenreycel267.
