I've only had this purse for a few weeks, but I've already hauled it across the country and back and I'm currently using it as my primary school bag.  It's large enough that I can even carry my laptop in it, although I can't zip it closed if I do.  I constantly have my books and notebooks and phone and scientific calculator in it, and it never looks over-stuffed.  It has nine pockets, so it's easy to keep everything organized.  I've also been very impressed with the quality, and the white color looks very classy.  It is a very large bag, but it's like Mary Poppins' magic bag.  I'm amazed at how much I can put into it.
