I received a second Big Zipper bag, in mushroom, for Christmas. The color is a deep, warm taupe with a light blue-gray interior, and it looks very nice. I was disappointed to see design changes that make the bag less useful than my first one. The clear plastic ID card holder has been removed from the outside of the coin purse. And some of the bag's interior pockets have also been removed, eliminating storage space I really liked. As a result of these changes that probably lower the cost for the manufacturer but take away usefulness, I changed my review to 4 stars instead of 5.

Here's my original review:

I bought this bag in olive. Love the color and the orange interior, which makes it easy to find items. The bag is very easy to wear either cross-body or over the shoulder, and it holds and organizes an amazing amount of stuff without getting bulky--it stays sleekly against the body and is very easy to wear. There are 7+ places to put items of various sizes--mobile phone, glasses, sunglasses, checkbook, makeup, etc.--so everything is easy to find. No more rummaging around! This makes it perfect for travel and everyday use. And despite the manufacturer's suggestion to spot-clean only, I wash my Big Zipper in the washing machine. I put it in a mesh laundry bag for protection and always use cold water. I never put it in the dryer, just hang it to air dry overnight. Sleek style, great organization and easy to clean--it's really the perfect bag.
