I'm so happy with this bag. I use it as a commuter bag. I purchased 2 other bags first that were decent but just didn't quite fit what I needed from them. The bag looks great, is roomy enough for a purse, extra shoes, a book, coffee thermos and lunch bag! And it's still not bulky or too heavy and will flatten (not stay pooched out) if I don't carry as much! This cost more than I usually spend on bags, because I really beat them up, but it's been worth it.
