This purse was a great value, it doesn't look gigantic, but it can hold a lot, and has all sorts of pockets. I do wish the brown wasn't so dark on it, but the photo presents it well. There were a couple loose threads here and there on it, but otherwise it's fine. It fits comfortably under your arm, and all the main pockets have zippers so you can secure your belongings. The shape of it is actually nicer than in the photo, where it looks rather square and flat, the bottom curves nicely when you carry it.
