3.5 stars. I really liked this bag for travel. This is a very pretty blue. I don't like it so much that I would wear it every day. I wore this in Italy and put glasses, sunglasses, tissues, lipgloss, my Rick Steve's Italian Phrase Book & Dictionary (that's 5*s) etc. I kept the majority of my money and my credit cards in my money belt. I grew up in NY and Boston so I'm street smart and held onto my bag and I would personally NEVER rely on a purse to keep my money/credit cards in Venice and Florence. I loved the little light attached to the key hook so much I took it off and put it on the Birth of Venus key chain I bought at the Uffizi. My recommendation for travel: buy this bag AND wear a money belt. Don't keep all your money in one place.

Let me start by saying, I pretty much rely on reviews to make my Amazon purchases. The other reviews of this bag had me sold. I loved the design and thought this would be great for a quick go to summer bag. The delivery date was scheduled for about 3-4 weeks, HOWEVER it came within the week and was overnight delivered to me. Honestly, as soon as it came and I gave it a look over I felt compelled to come write a review...this company really deserves the praise!! I can not tell you how shocked I was when opening the package to see how much love was put into this. It is made so well, and they even included a handmade, beautiful journal!! I am so blown away by their excellent customer service and great product, I hope others who are on the fence make this purchase too...you really won't be disappointed!
