I have used this bag for work and it functions very well. Has lots of pockets for organizing and holds quite a bit - more than you would think as it is not a very large bag. I have to say I only gave it four stars because uptimately it just isn't very stylish or cute and apparently that matters to me more than the utilitatian aspect. It is very well made and can be worn accross the body so I do sometimes take it with me when I don't want to worry about my bag falling off my shoulder. It is a very practical bag - like a small messenger bag - at a very resonable price. It also works well when traveling.
