I already had this bag in turquoise for summer. The gray is dressier and goes with most of my winter clothes. The bag has a lovely sheen and the pink lining is nice, too. This is a perfect size. It holds credit cards, money, change, and notes in the front compartment. My iphone fits nicely in the front zip pouch. The main compartment holds sunglasses, pens, and a lipstick. My keys go in back. In a pinch, I've carried a camera, a kindle, and even a baby bottle. Everything I need is easily accessible in a lightweight bag. I can extend the strap and wear it crossbody or shorten it and wear it on my shoulder. When I travel, I remove the strap and the bag fits inside a shopper-sized carryon or briefcase.
