Promising review: "Love it! I bought this for a trip I was taking. I took the trip and have not switched purses since then. This might be the perfect purse. It's just big enough to get in all the true essentials, but not big enough for you to be able practically turn it into another piece of heavy luggage. I have way less crap in my purse AND I can actually find what I'm looking for. The compartments are well thought-out. Very organized. For example, the front flap pocket was a secure, yet easy to access place for my train tickets. I keep a reusable fabric bag in one of the end water bottle holder pockets. The snaps are easy to operate and I'm pretty sure I'd notice if someone were to try to fiddle with one. I wear it cross body and snap everything shut and it's just one less thing to worry about in the bustle of going through train stations. I thinks it's quite stylish looking. The fabric shows no wear after daily use for nearly six months. Have already recommended to a friend and will be buying another one. Just trying to decide what color!" –pendyrus
