I bought this for my daughter to use like a briefcase for confidential documents. It seens like it will be very sturdy and will keep her important papers safe. Plus, this bag is much more stylish than a briefcase!
This is a great bag and coordinates with the Bean Accessory Bag. I ordered them both in green. I had originally had in mind to use this as a purse. It was bigger than I had anticipated, so the every day purse thing didn't work. I think this is great for traveling and eliminates the weight of one big bag (which I can never lift) and it is versatile. Great overnight bag or carry on and you could stretch it to "very large" purse!
I bought a bag three years ago when I went to Africa. I have searched for a replacement since that one fell apart after three years of continuous use. I think I have found that bag! So far I love it, can't wait to go on a trip with it. I do wish it had a few more pockets....
