When this bag first arrived, I thought, "Oh, no--this isn't going to hold ANYTHING." I was wrong.  What I have in it today: a folder full of papers for work, two small notebooks, an iPad in a case, a small cell phone, a pair of reading glasses, a rather large clutch wallet, a battery charger, a small umbrella, a CD, a box of calcium chews, three mint tins, gum, ibuprofen in a bottle, an inhaler, eye drops, several pens, one of those little folding grocery bags, a small hairbrush, and some makeup.  Seriously.  The bag looks good and is very sturdy, with good zippers (I tend to destroy backpacks and such, so I pay attention to these things).  I couldn't be happier!
