I LOVE this bag. I was worried, because according to the product photos, I thought it would be larger - almost like a tote bag. This is the perfect size. I love all of the pockets, and the main bag in the middle zips up. The two large side pockets velcro shut, and the four smaller pockets on the sides and front stay open. This is a super cute bag, and so practical!! I adore whales, and this is the perfect purse. I carry my wallet; an emergency kit with an Epi-pen, feminine products, meds, and bandaids; both my and my husband's kindles; my cell phone; snacks; and sometimes my lunch for work...and it all fits! It's great that I can wash it if I need to, as well.
