What a great tote! I specifically purchased this as a travel tote/purse for the fall/winter. It works great because it has a divided interior with zippered compartments and a handy little spot for my cellphone. I'm small framed, 5'4", and sometimes totes can be too large for me, but this one is just right. It has enough room for all my typical handbag items, wallet, cosmetic pouch, etc., plus my camera, small umbrella, and still has room to spare. I've taken this tote on several weekends away where we were walking quite a bit, and it was comfortable on my shoulder the entire day. The flat bottom is nice so that bag will stand up nicely on a flat surface making it easy to search inside for things quickly (like my camera). I like the mix of black and brown suede and brown leather straps. It will go with everything this fall. The interior is a neutral tan/brown, again a plus in my opinion. I don't like when a bag has a patterned interior if the bag does not zip closed. This tote has a magnetic snap closure that holds closed very well. Overall, an excellent tote bag, no negatives whatsoever.
