Years ago, I used to carry a purse, but it was hard on my shoulder, neck, and low-back muscles to keep me stablized and upright. Eventually, I decided I didn't need that much, because I don't carry half the bathroom with me every day. I needed a wallet, so I got a clutch that had room for a checkbook, pen, cards, etc. When that fell apart after years of hard use, I got another one, similar, but without the checkbook space. I used that one for years, too, and the change compartment got a hole in the bottom, the zipper tab kept falling off -- and so I got this one.

There's plenty of room for cards, cash, business cards, grocery list, change -- but it's not bigger than I actually need. In fact, it's nice, small, light-weight, compact, and designed perfectly! I tuck it up under my arm and both my hands are free. The quality is excellent, and I'm glad the exterior is woven nylon, instead of leather. We live in a remote location (we call it "Dirt World"), so nylon really works for me and my lifestyle. It's attractive and completely functional. I couldn't be happier!
