I WAS REMINDED WHY I NEVER ORDERED A SOFT BAG.....THEY COLLAPSE IN ON THEMSELVES. HOWEVER, IF YOU LIKE SOFT BAGS THIS ONE IS GREAT. LOTS OF POCKETS AND LOTS OF SPACE. THE FAUX LEATHER IS SOFT AND SEEMS FAIRLY DURABLE. I JUST DON'T LIKE TO HAVE TO FIGHT THE BAG TO GET ANYTHING OUT OF IT. I'M AFRAID I'LL HAVE TO RE-GIFT IT.
