in fact i treat my purses pretty badly. they get thrown on the floor of the car, in the corner at home, in the closet at friends, and on the floor at the office. more than once i've been known to use my purse as a doorstop! i just don't worry about them and as a result they always look pretty grim after a short time in my care. then i found this bag - its perfect - great construction - sturdy fabric - several pockets which help me stay organized - the strap is very strong and sturdy and a good length. the bag will outlast anything i can throw at it and still looks new and stylish! love the color and i know this is the best purse money i've ever spent! in fact i may have to order another one in a different color! thanks bean for having such a great item in your catalogue! cheers to all!
Love,love this bag.....bought my "blue denim" shade a few years ago.....still going strong. I have other more expensive bags but this one seems to be my favorite......so rugged.....I can toss it around without any worry ....believe me, I do toss it. Thanks L.L.Bean you've sold me on this one, that's why I've ordered another in a different shade.
This is a practical, lightweight, durable bag for travel or other casual running around uses. I like it as a purse for when I go on outdoor photo shoots.
The long strap can wrap around my body & stay out of the way. It's got two spacious enough compartments that zip shut to keep contents secure.
I bought two colors. The lighter one is ok for general travel, the darker khaki olive is what I take on photo shoots (in case I want to set it on the ground).
I've decided I'm not someone who likes purses with over flaps. It's a bother. The same basic purse, in the same size with zippers but no flap would be a better design to my taste. But, if you don't mind flaps, it's great!
