I bought this as a tote to take on the plane, and it was perfect for that, super spacious and nice large, deep pockets for boarding passes, wallet, etc. I have been trying to use it as a regular purse and I think it's just a little too big for that, for me. It becomes the black hole purse where I just lose things in the pocketless interior of the purse. Some love purses like that, but I think this works best for outings like going to the beach or a day trip. But it is cute and the color adds a nice splash to outfits, definitely got a lot of compliments on it!
