I bought this bag to have something when I travel, but don't need a larger backpack. You can easily fit a wallet, some cosmetics, cell phone and a book or Kindle in the pack. It doesn't hold quite enough for me to use on a daily basis, unfortunately. I have the pewter color, and I like it quite a bit, both the fabric and the color. It also has slots for credit cards, but not enough to completely replace a wallet (or my wallet, in any case!).
