I was looking for a gym bag to replace the puma one I currently have. I go to the gym at lunch And sometimes after work so I need a big enough bag to hold my running shoes and a towel and my toiletries. I thought this bag was that bag. I was wrong. It is closer to a handbag. However the quality is excellent, there are many compartments fir your phone, ipod and other stuff but I  will still use it when I don't need to carry a change of clothes. But I still need to find a gym bag big enough for my everyday use.
