I’ve never had a pack/purse before, but it sounded like a good idea for travel. I got the small in purple. It came super fast, and was everything I hoped for and more.Purple is slightly darker than it looks online, great color, surprisingly neutral, looks good with blues and blacks.Fits my iPad mini, but it is small, just for essentials, not larger items.Zip strap works great, easy to wear as a backpack or as a purse.Because I liked this so much, I purchased the large size, also very nice bag, just a bit bigger, thought it would work better for travel, to hold more. That is true, and overall, still a fan.Downside? Bag 2, the large size? Arrived smelling very strongly of cigarette smoke. I’m talking old ashy, spent significant time in a room of smokers with an overflowing ashtray. I have it sitting in a bag of non-clumping cat sand, with a couple bars of scented soap stuck inside to try and get the smell out. (The cat sand is an old trick known to work on books and papers). We’ll see if it works. Bag one had no smells associated with it at all.
