This is my second MK Bedford leather tote and I carry one of them all the time. It's the perfect size for everyday use but can also fit a lot of extra stuff along the way, keeping it all secure with the zippered top. The outside pockets are so handy to use for my reading glasses and iPhone. The inside key fob is handy. The handle length is perfect for me to wear this bag comfortably on my shoulder. The pebble leather is soft and outstanding, as it can withstand rain and doesn't scratch and seems to soften with age. My favorite bag by far, ever!
