This is a perfect size tote.  Not to small and not to big.  I have started using it to take my computer to work and I can fit, my work laptop, my home laptop and my IPad as well as file folders and still have room for more items.  It is soft, no idea if it is real leather but it looks great and it seems to be well made.  If you are looking that something that looks great without breaking the bank you can't go wrong.
