Just received this bag & maching umbrella and the look is fabulous.  Beautiful colors and design.  My intent is to use for travel only and it matches my American Tourister purple luggage very well.  Since my wardrobe colors primarily consist of blues, purples, pinks and black - this should prove to be very functional for me.  I would tend to agree with the reviewer that said the fabric is not sturdy.  No, it's not your typical canvas tote for everyday use but should be fine for my purposes.  So visually - I'm thrilled with it.  We'll see how it fares for travel as a carry on tote.
