For certain things you just need time a larger bag than the normal handbag and I find this perfectly. You can loose a bottle and a book store, etc. It makes a robust impression, has a lot of storage space and many additional compartments in different sizes. The red seams fall on very strong contrast with the black bag falls on the photo hardly noticeable. That might seem quite bothersome for some buyers. There were of me a point deduction. Have the bag but retain as the size, weight (slightly) and the price for me simply outweighed.
