I have two of these I purchased in Hawaii on separate trips, and I find that they are my go-to
bags year round! I live in the rainy Pacific NW and I never worry about these
bags getting ruined. I have a number of high-end (LV, Dior, Chanel)
bags that don't see the light of day half as much as these
bags do! I wear them pretty much exclusively as a crossbody bag with the strap fully extended and I find that not only is it comfortable to carry but the various pockets help keep me organized. The included pouch is nice, but I prefer the triple-zip cosmetic pouch (easier to organize), so I use the included pouch for receipts and business cards. What I also really appreciate is the size, I can easily carry a wallet, cosmetic case, Kindle and several other items without jamming the bag full. And because it's so lightweight and the wide webbing strap is so comfortable, I don't get shoulder aches even when the bag is packed to the hilt!
