I have never had a tote bag like this before and so far I really love the look and design of it!  The blue Denim is very pretty and I especially love that the lining in the bag has light colors to easily see inside and with birds on it.  I've always loved anything with birds.  It has a fun and youthful appearance to it and I am thinking about purchasing another one in a different pattern!  I put a few reading books inside and keep my keys in a small pouch in the bag as not to rip the lining because I do worry about sharp items ripping it.  So far it's holding up great and I love it.
