This is a lightweight shoulder bag that holds a lot or a little. It fits very nicely as a cross body bag and is very comfortable. My negatives are when they say sunwashed it is really drab. I got the olive. Also, as mentioned by another review, the top foldover is too big even if you were to fill up the bag with stuff.
I bought this as a gift for my son's friend who's graduating law school in May. She's not the traditional 'briefcase' type so I was looking for a bag that could serve the same purpose but look really cool. And she loves it. Called me immediately upon its arrival to say how perfect it will be for her lifestyle. Plenty of room for a laptop, papers, cell, all the other necessities that a young attorney would need.
This bag is just the right size for my needs. It has pockets where I need them and I like the zip top - a double security under the flap closure. I'll use it until it wears out and then order another one.
