To me, the Defea is the perfect bag! It's spacious with room for all the stuff I sometimes need to carry around with me (it will fit my iPad or my small laptop) along with make-up bag, large purse, specs case etc, etc. The two pockets on the front will keep tissues, phone, travel pass etc. easily in reach and there are also the usual Kipling internal pockets too. The two small pockets on the sides of the bags are great for headphones and other small items.

The two handles aren't long enough to go over the shoulder (there is a separate shoulder strap for that), but they are a comfortable length to carry, or to loop over your arm.

I have this bag in black and brown now and will certainly get at least one more in a lighter colour for summer.
