I bought this purse after my smaller one was stolen right off my arm.  I wanted something larger where I would notice a weight difference if someone tried messing with it.  This certainly fit the bill.  It is large, holds a ton of stuff, and is soft yet durable.  I've received many compliments on it.  However, it IS too big for me to use as an every day bag (my own fault), so I've converted it into an awesome looking diaper bag.  It can hold several diapers, a pack of wipes, a change of clothes, and a snack.
