This bag reminds me of the painted leather bag I got (and still have and use) in the 1970's. This is just an updated style. I like the fact that it can be used as a shoulder bag, but it fits across the body when you are on a motorcycle. Nice. My tablet fits into it well. The purse is smaller than I thought, but I like that. It is big enough to carry everything I need and even a small knitting project. The pockets are well placed and the painting on the outside is more colorful than the picture shows...really nice...
