This is a nice bag. A similar bag I wanted was $45 and of course a brand name. This was a good compromise. I work from home, so I no longer carry purses on my arm everyday. I was looking for something to grab when running errands that would fit my kindle and mini notebook. It is my fault I did not realize this bag actually fits a regular size notebook if that's what you are looking for. There are lots of pockets which is great for me to keep everything separated there are three main pockets without adding bulk also great. The zippers are not smooth like a couple reviews mention but it adds to the look of the bag and I am not worried that I will break the zipper off. The bag also holds its shape very well and doesn't attract dust. I tend to drop it on the floor when I come in the house and haven't had to wipe it off yet. I do wish there were more colors available though.
