I bought this bag primarily to use while shopping. I purchased the black faux croc bag and it is very stylish and well constructed. There are 2 compartments on the front that have zippers and a smaller one for eyeglasses which has a large velcro closure. It could also be used to hold a cell phone. The inside material is gray/black alternating vertical stripes. There's even an additional zippered pocket on the backside (which I didn't notice until I turned the bag over.)  Lots of room for stuff, but not at all bulky. I'm very pleased!  I also received the bag very quickly which added an additional star!
