After looking at dozens of "security" purses, I bought this one for a trip to Europe. It's now my everyday purse! It was perfect for the trip--slim and light, but I could still fit tons of stuff inside! (everything pictured, with lots of room to spare! It could even fit a water bottle.) It was sometimes hard to reach things in the middle pocket, because it is slim, but I could keep important items near the top in the little pockets or in the front pocket. So objects I was constantly taking in/out of the bag were easy to reach. The purse also did pretty well in pouring rain, and kept the contents dry. Love all the pockets, and peace of mind :)

Purchased this backpack to serve dual duty on a bus tour as my daypack but also still look nice enough to bring to a nice restaurant as my purse. It fits the bill, with enough capacity to hold my small laptop, atlas, packable windbreaker, water, wallet, glasses, toiletries, and all normal girl purse accoutrements. It is well-made with strong stitching and hardware, and the PU washed leather-look body has a really rich, soft hand, just like expensive leather purses, but it's water-resistant which leather just can't withstand. There are so many pockets, I still haven't figured out just how to use them all! The front flap pocket is roomy enough for a small textbook or reading material or even a small wrap, which is to say that it was engineered to hold something, and not just look nice. This purse is a GREAT VALUE which I recommend wholeheartedly.

This bag arrived on time. I do a lot of browsing, and read reviews.. The bag is exactly as it's pictured and met my expectations. Great quality, durable, cute, classy. I get compliments on this bag on a regular basis. Something I don't like about it is that insuring the bag's flap is closed sometimes requires precession, perhaps the snap in buttons aren't the best choice for the bag, but I expected this and can manage. Recommend!
