When I first looked at the purse and then looked at what I had to transfer, I thought there is no way - It's too small! I was wrong! I did throw a few things away that I didn't need, but not very much. It was just little things like expired coupons, gum paper, etc. The compartments that are in this purse make it so nice to organize and they are zippered so nothing falls into another section. It seems very comfortable to carry also! I haven't been out in any rain yet to test how water resistant it is, but I don't think I'll care anyway. I hope it holds up well because I really do like this choice I made!
