I've wanted this bag for a while for vacations but did not buy it until recently. I'm sorry that I waited because I love it. I bought it for use on vacation and it is perfect. It holds all the extra stuff I tote around while on vacation including a book. Worth the money.
I found the Bean catalogue open on my wife's dresser to this bag - I ordered it - it arrived in time for her birthday and she has used it everyday since - she says it is not too big but holds her "regular items" and the book she is reading and she loves it. Thanks!
I use this as an everyday Man-purse and it works wonderfully! It's professional looking, holds just enough and is not too bulky. It's also great for traveling and flying. If you're looking for a great shoulder bag for daily use, especially if you're a guy, go with this one; as usual LL Bean outdoes itself on quality.
