I've been looking for a tote bag that had some style as well as plenty of room for files and all the normal stuff women carry in a purse. This is a very sturdy canvas fabric with a substantial leather shoulder strap. The strap is supposed to be adjustable, but I haven't quite figured out how to adjust it. It has a zipper compartment on the outside, which is very handy, and three more compartments on the inside. It also offers another zipper to completely close the inside of the purse, but I don't use it. I do like the way the top flap bends over in an asymmetrical manner. It gives the bag a more stylish look than most tote bags have. It comes in several colors, but I really love the blue since I live in jeans. The fabric is a little stiff at first, but I think it will soften up in time. I would definitely buy it again! An excellent price for such a well-made bag. I've also received several compliments on the bag from strangers.
