i am buying my second triple zip bagg. this is my every day purse.

to give an idea what it can hold:

-i use the front (smallest zip compartment) for a coin purse and pack of gum.

-my multiple lip balms store easily reachable in a little zippered pockett in the front big compartment.  in the main part of that compartment, i keep my camera, travel size sunscreen, and a small pouch/wallet of misc items.

-in the largest (back) zip compartment i have my "wallet" (a 3"x4" fairly flat zipper pouch) of credit cards/cash, a small notebook, and a travel pack of tissues.  i do not use the credit card slots that are built in (agreed with other reviewers they are flimsy and take a little extra time to manipulate).

-i attach my keys by their key ring to the outside front strap clip, where they are easily reachable without even looking.

-i slip my cell phone into the wee back zipper pocket and generally leave it unzipped for easy access. if bulky items go in here, they feel uncomfortable against my leg, but a smooth flat cell phone works perfectly.

with a slight bit of rearranging, i can fit my kindle touch in its leather case in the back compartment to bring along my day's entertainment.  but most print books will not fit.

after over a year of daily use, i did develop problems with the metal connectors between the strap and the clip (where the clip top peg fits in to swivel/spin-around hole) detaching from each other.  i have often fit them back together, but they inevitably pop back out again. as a temporary fix, you can use the clip to grab both the d-ring on the purse where it normally attaches, and the ring on the strap - the only downside is that it then cannot swivel and the straps get twisty.

my only aesthetic comment is that the colors (at least the blues and greens) are dull or watered down. i guess that makes them more neutral? they are not vibrant, more like "powdered" versions of colors.
