Long ago, I downsized the purses I'm wiling to carry, but I insist upon pockets here, there, inside and out so that I do not have to open a great huge cavern inside expensive leathers and fabrics to paw through my purse just to find keys. This bag is compact, yet still very functional. Inside are pockets for a cell phone, lip glosses and other small items as well as a zippered one for things you must carry but rarely need. Outside is a slim, zippered space, a fold-over pocket that snaps closed securely, and an open pocket for items you must find quickly. Organized and light-weight, this bag meets my needs very well.
