I bought this purse specifically for a three week trip to Europe.  It was perfect.  On planes, trains, metros and a rental car, it held up beautifully and was roomy enough for a ton of stuff.  A great feature is the large front pocket with a velcro closure flap.  Within this pocket are several compartments for items like cell phone, iPod,camera, pens, etc., and a zippered area which was a handy place to store my passport, money and other important papers. On the other exterior side is a large open pocket perfect for stashing items like sunglasses, tissues, brochures, etc.  Inside the main compartment, I stored all my medications in another secure zippered area.  The purse is deep, but not annoyingly so...like some purses where everything falls to the bottom.

I made constant use of the side pockets especially designed to hold beverage bottles.  With all the walking I did, it was so handy to have easy access to my water.  This purse is really well made and did not show wear or stress in spite of the amount of items and weight I carried in it constantly.  The blackberry color is really a neutral which looks great with black and almost any other color.  The straps are very comfortable and adjustable.

I highly recommend this purse if you are looking for something roomy, practical and well-made.  It would easily hold an iPad, workout clothes or even serve as a small carry-on bag for traveling.  Definitely worth the price.
