The size of the bag is great for my purposes. The amount of pockets on this thing is impressive; it holds all of my random necessities and then some! I carry around a LOT of stuff including some unusual items, and this holds it all with room to spare. I was astonished to find that I could comfortably fit an extra pair of shoes, and there's STILL ROOM. The outer material is decent. I mean, nobody is going to mistake it for genuine leather unless they're a moron or have never seen leather, but it's not as cheap-looking as I'd anticipated, even in the saddle color. It is very soft and pliable though, so if you're after that sort of worn-in, slouchy feel (like I was), it's perfect. The lining material is VERY soft and quite thin, so much so that I don't anticipate it lasting very long before something tears and my belongings begin to disappear inside its guts (this happens to every bag I have ever owned). The delicate lining and the length of the strap would be my only "complaints." The strap is just a touch too short for my liking, I like it to hang a bit lower on my hip, but this is a very minor issue. Overall, if you're looking for an absurd amount of storage in a pretty cute bag for a good price, I think this is a solid option.
