This bag has been perfect for work! I live in an area with a lot of rain so I love that it's water resistant and has zippers over the pockets to protect what's inside. There are more decorative or posh bags that I could buy, but this one is perfect for everyday use. The fabric is durable so that it has no wear and tear after daily use for a few months. I left my coffee mug too full once and it spilled over the bag, I wiped it all over with water and a towel and it was like it never happened. I also like how large the inside is. If it is not very full the bag compresses nicely to be more narrow, but I can pack a lot in if I need to.
