The first time I saw this I knew I wanted it - blue is my favorite color and I love to flaunt it - the brighter the better. This bag just makes me happy. Its not a small bag though it was called that on Amazon. I don't use it for everyday, because its really too big but its great for special occasions of for day trips. Every time I look at it, I smile. Very well made, it seems to me, and as many have said, it looks more expensive than it is. I highly recommend!
