I bought one about 2 years ago. Used it every day. Carried everything I needed on a daily basis. Also would throw my large sketch pads, notebooks, bottles of water, an extra shirt or flip flops, all kinds of stuff in there. It was very durable, and the fabric and lining was soft and light weight. I really used this purse. The lining finally wore thin and ripped, after a long time of constant, hard use. I tore out the lining and kept on using it for a little bit. But it had lived it's life. It had gotten dingy and tattered. Oh, it doesn't stain easily and totally machine washable. Dries really fast too. It'll air dry in like 30 minutes, but you can throw it in the dryer if you want. Carries a lot of weight if you need. I loved it, and I bought another one. This 2nd one if just as good. It's a good length. The opening is perfect size, not to big where things spill out and not to small where you're cramped digging around looking for things. Always easy to find stuff even though it's a large bag with only 2 small side pockets, and those easily fit your cards, keys, phone, lipstick and Altoids for a quick grab.
