It's hard to buy a bag by looking at a picture, but I really love this bag. It is just the right size for me not overwhelming, but holds the usual-
wallet, phone, credit cards. I have the blue bag but it is more like a blue violet. With the brown stitching, it goes with just about everything. The bag is heavier than my last bag, but it doesn't bother me. I think the metal rings add the weight.
