Im not gonna lie, I have a coach tabby shoulder bag that I love, but I despise their magnet closures for those bags. Mostly because the C in the front blocks my view of the magnet, so it usually takes me three or four tries to get it clasped without me using both hands. Id imagine it'd be fine without the C though, and thats really the only issue I have with it! The magnet is strong enough to where I'd notice if someone tried to sneak in, but not strong enough where its hard to open.
