The Kipling Europa Handbag was a gift for my lady friend who enjoys traveling.  A week after getting this with all of its pockets and zippers, she said she was able to use it instead of a carry on when she had a flight. Her report was that the bag had enough compartments that she was able to fill it and still be able to find things when she needed them.  As far as I'm concerned it is an excellent gift as indicated by her appreciation after she received it.
