Seriously, this year the on the fashion shows that I've seen, the bigger the bag, the better. This bag is only moderately "big" comparatively to the monsters that the models were carrying. I look at it this way, I love purses and this just gives me more to love! Top notch workmanship, vibrant dynamic patterns & colors and a super value. It is great to throw a water bottle or two in for errands, my notebook computer and a change of clothes for an overnight. Love it!
