This was purchased for my middle-school aged daughter. A friend of ours monogrammed it as a nice touch! It is very cute! The bag is quite roomy. The bows can be removed too. She has packed 3-5 days worth of clothing & tolietries for a week at the beach. She uses the bag monthly for overnight stays & trips. After 2-3 months one of the straps started tearing/ pulling away (at the top of the bag where ribbon bow is) & we had to have it sewn back. We also had the other straps reinforced to prevent that from happening again. The straps need to have reinforced stitching along all 4 sides where the are attached to the bag. That is why I gave the bag 3 stars. I still would recommend this bag.
