These are very versatile bags. You can put a phone and a wallet in them and be fine. Or you can literally put a full bag of groceries in them. Or your work "stuff", mail, papers, and rolled-up raincoat. It is almost a weekend bag - or a bag for just a couple small items - whichever works for you. It is fairly well-made. I've abused the bag, and it still has all its stitching and zipper and such. Despite the price, it doesn't look cheap at all. It looks nice for a casual bag. I actually bought several in different colors. My only problem is that my daughter tends to take them!
