So far, there has not been a perfect handbag on the market. That said, I love this brand! Love the fabric, as it is very strong, and lightweight. I no longer shop for leather bags. They are heavy to begin with, so by the time one adds all their belongings, its too heavy to drag around. I have dismissed the idea that one has to own a high-end designer bag. Those designer bags are for women who can own several dozen bags for her wardrobe. They tend to be stiff, heavy and nearly 100% impractical!  I don't need to draw attention to myself. I would rather look like a sensible person, than one who is needy. As for this particular bag, it serves most of my needs. So here are my suggestions for making it the perfect bag. I would like Baggalini to make this model a little larger and add the following:  The most important thing is to place the credit card slots so that they face the user while she is wearing the bag as a cross-body. These days, when we are at the check stand, with a line of customers behind us, we have to keep the line moving. It makes sense that we only need to unzip the compartment, and make a quick draw for the card. Designers need to take many things into consideration. We need to maneuver our carts, unload, pay attention to the clerk, watch the screen on the card reader, and safeguard our handbags. We don't want to take it off, set it on the counter, open it up and dig for our cash or cards. The card pockets should be facing towards you. I believe there should be more card pockets, as 4 is not enough. There is no pocket to place paper money. There should be a zipped pocket for our bills, and another one for coins. This is why I suggest the bag be larger...maybe two more inches all around. The little pocket under the front flap is a little too small for medium to large hands. This is supposed to be an organizer bag, and substitute for a wallet. Other features could include a steel loop on the outside to hang keys, an interior ring for an extra car key, Perhaps a plastic lined pocket for cosmetics. There should be a loop for a pen in the upright position, as a horizontal loop is faulty. Also a designated pocket for a large mobile phone. With my suggestions, this could be the perfect bag for everyday and travel.
