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.

I searched for a long time for the right bag and was even willing to spend a lot for it. I wanted these features: (1) at least one exterior side pocket for a water bottle or umbrella; (2) exterior pockets; (3) needs to fit my MacBook Pro; (4) different carrying options; and (5) not ugly. This backpack/purse is the only one I could find that fits all criteria. First, the material is soft and thick, and feels sturdy. Second, having two exterior side pockets for both a water bottle and a small umbrella is an extra bonus, for sure. The other exterior pockets are roomy and handy for quick access to things, and there is a "security" zippered pocket in the back that may be good for passports or sensitive papers. The interior has 2 zippered pockets and 3 open pockets. In in the main compartment, I can fit my MacBook Pro (and in its protective, padded sleeve), cord, my foldable keyboard, mouse, a notebook, and still have room for a little bit more. It is not too heavy and fits well both on my shoulder and as a backpack. And, the price makes it all worth it.

I love this purse, it's not too big but will hold a tablet, a phone, and probably anything else you might need. Lots of zippered compartments, it closes with a zipper so no one can reach in, and the strap is long enough to go over the shoulder. I have a couple of the larger purses and they tend to fill up over time (because I'm not that disciplined at cleaning them out) with things I don't really need. Hopefully, I won't over fill this one. Right now, with phone, tablet, kleenex, wallet and comb it's fine, with room to spare. As always, it's well made with bright fabric. I've never had an issue with fading, even after washing, and these purses wash up well. I've yet to wear one out.
