This bag is big and roomy.  I ordered it for vacation but I will probably use it for everyday.  Lots of packets.  Throw your lunch inside and off you go.  Your favorite magazine will fit too.  Lays close to your body.  Great for hands-free shopping.  Big pocket for your phone.  Zippers zip easily.  Although the hardware is a bit heavy---mostly the big rings that hold the shoulder strap.  I hate a purse where you have to empty the contents to find what you are looking for...not with this bag.  Big roomy opening to see what's inside.  Yes...this will be a useful bag.  And again thanks Amazon as always for a quick delivery.  My merchandise arrived one day prior to expected delivery date.
