This is a great little tote bag.  Living in South Florida where rain is a daily occurence during the summer months, I needed a tote bag that would hold a pair of shoes and an umbrella that would look respectable going to my office.  This works perfectly, and has the advantages of top zipper, outside zip pocket, and even an inside zip.  In fact, I'm finding I'll use it on the weekends instead of a handbag.  This size is small - look at the dimensions, but as a handbag it will hold wallet, sunglasses, my kindle, which I'm never without, cosmetics, phone, etc.  It is extremely lightweight, and washable! This particular size, in solid black, was difficult to find, so thanks Amazon for carrying it.
