The 40 inch adjustable strap is long enough to allow someone that is 5'6" to wear the bag on my side and have the bag hit me at the hip. The dark grey exterior contrasts nicely with the fuschia interior. The bag is a light material and seems like it would be a good bag for traveling with since it has a lot of non-zippered compartments on the outside of the bag. Inside though is a bit disappointing. There is no zippered compartment. The credit card holders are useless because they're too shallow to securely hold a card and prevent it from sliding out of the holding during use. The coin purse is nice and comes on a detachable cord. The bag is pretty big, bigger than I expected and I think I will have a hard time digging for things at the bottom of the bag. I got this bag on sale during a Gold Box offer but I would not pay full price for it because of the design of the interior. The credit card holders seem very common to all of the Baggallini bags I looked at so I guess if you go with this brand you'll just have to live with the wasted space there where I think a zippered compartment would be much more useful.
