I was very surprised at the quality of this bag! It looks good in the photos, but when I opened the box I was amazed! It's bigger than I thought it would be (the measurements say 12", but it seems larger) & very spacious! There's a zippered pocket on the outside & a few pockets inside. I bought the Owl bag with the pink handle. The colors are vibrant & the details are crisp. The bow is detachable & I thought it was nice of them to have it wrapped in plastic & tucked in the bag rather than on the outside where it could get creased. I bought this as a gift for a young friend who loves owls. She was thrilled! She started using this bag immediately for her books! I'm definitely going to get me one of these bags! Probably more than one!
