My bag arrived very quickly, surprisingly on a Sunday! I spent considerable time researching the bag I wanted for my upcoming trip to Europe. It was hard for me to shop online and not be able to see in person the size of the bag. I carry a Miche demi purse (medium sized) for my everyday bag and I wanted something a little roomier for the trip. This bag is about the same size, maybe a little smaller than that. It's a bit deeper and narrower with a more constricting opening to the main compartment, but I'm hoping the outside compartments and organization pockets will help make up for the smaller sized main compartment. The fabric is nice, looks easy to clean, and less "luggage like" than I thought. I have the black one, and I can see myself taking this anywhere but the most formal occasions. It appeared in the photos that the front zipper compartment did not have a locking feature, however, when I received this purse, all three zipper toggles (the two from the smaller front compartment and the one from the top main compartment all locked into the same toggle together. The zipper toggles are not centered, but they do lock, which is a nice feature. The rear zipper does not lock. I like the long adjustable strap that allows it to sit comfortably on the front of my hip which is what I wanted. I was worried that there weren't enough little pockets/ pen loops inside so I also ordered the Travelon purse organizer. I like it a lot, but it makes the inside of this bag seem very full so I will probably just use it with my everyday purse and not take it on the trip. I think I can get by with the compartments in this bucket bag. I'll just need a small change purse or wallet, which I usually don't carry. The bottle pockets fit a standard 16 oz water bottle snugly. I'm glad because I was worried they might want to slip out with the tilted angle I saw in the photos. This bag should hold my daily essentials, which include water bottle for me and my husband, small wallet, ID, phone, journal, maps, pen, lipstick, sunglasses case, and still have room for a light cardigan. I know I will need to cover my shoulders to enter the churches in Italy in August so I was hoping to have room to pack a light cover and maybe a light maxi skirt to throw over my shorts. If I roll them up boy scout style, I think it will work, but it will be a full bag. I don't expect to have any additional space for souvenirs, so I may just pack along my very lightweight collapsible bag that folds up to be about the size of a travel tissue pack. Then I can spill over if I acquire additional items to carry without having to carry a larger bag the whole time. Overall, I'm happy with my purchase. Although I thought I would use this exclusively as a travel bag, I think it may end up becoming my everyday bag when we get home. The security features are what convinced me to purchase Travelon for European travel, but they are a nice bonus for everyday too.

My old purse was small, barely big enough to hold everything i carry around with me. Now that i'm in college, i really need a bigger bag than can easily hold all my stuff. I got this because it looked big, sturdy, with lots of compartments for organization, had a waterbottle pocket, and a cross-body strap.Right off the bat, i liked this purse when i got it. It's big, and with a little fiddling i got the strap to be just the right size. The waterbottle pockets expand, to be just big enough for my 24 oz bottle. Like some have said, the mesh pocket is a little annoying. Once my keys got caught in it and it was a struggle to get them out, but otherwise it hasn't been an issue. I keep my school ID in the card pocket since i use it all the time, and it's easy to get it in and out. FYI, the LED light is very cheap, it's literally just a lightbulb and two batteries held together with a bit of plastic. Didn't matter to me, just don't expect a nice flashlight.Now to the part that mattered to me the most: Size. This purse is BIG. To demonstrate how big it is, let me list off everything i put in it biking back from the store (yes, i wear it comfortably while riding my bike.)-Two pairs of needle-nosed pliers, still in the plastic packaging-My glasses in a large and bulky hard sunglasses case-A stick of deodorant-Wallet-School ID-Phone-Earbuds-Bike lock-Three sanitary pads-A 17 oz drink bottleAll of this fit in the purse easily. I didn't have to rearrange anything before tossing in my purchases, and it didn't even feel overstuffed. In conclusion, this is a great everyday bag for anyone who has a lot they want to carry around and have easily accessible.
