Wasn't sure I loved it when I first got it, but now I REALLY, REALLY LOVE IT.  It is a little larger and firmer than I expected.. but it is very VERY well made and i am sure it will soften up over time and I am now loving the space it has.  I don't carry much in my purses, but this allows me to throw things in it as I am running around, like really small purchases and even a snack or two and a bottle of water.
