I love the size of this compared to a full size backpack. I purchased with the intention of using it for places like the airport and festivals. I throw my water, wallet, brush, lotion, ChapStick, keys . . . my life, in there and would still have room for smaller purchases or a sweatshirt or light jacket. There are plenty of pockets to keep things separated, and the zippers and lining on mine are functional and seem a decent quality for the price. I intend to purchase another on of these, and I think it may become my new go-to purse, I'm just waiting a while to see if there will be other color options. I bought the Blue, and it is less grey/blue than I thought it would be, but its still a nice color. I do end up with a decent amount of weight in it, and have had no issues with the straps moving, or the zippers straining at all.
