The layered look is gorgeous. There is a convertible-like feature w/ the inner strap if you want a reverse heart-shaped look or to expand to a retangular look w/ a pretty dip in the center. This feature also helps keeps your things more secure. The bag is large in all dimensions, so that you can pack clothes, food, make-up, diapers, or etc. and use as either a diaper bag, gym bag, or a getaway bag! Minuses: It only has a little flap w/ a button clasp to close. The canvas isn't coated.
