I bought this purse, because I like Pacsafe purses, especially for traveling overseas, because of the Safety factor (slashproof, rfid, etc). This purse is a good size, and can hold many things. The shade of purple is a little lighter than shown in the photo (I prefer a darker shade of purple). What could make this a better purse is if the main section of the purse was divided into 2 sections, and if there was an additional zippered pocket on the outside of the purse.
