I live in Europe and this shipped to me within days of ordering and it took less than a week. While I liked the color in the photo, it was definitely a lot better when I received my purse. This is lightweight, durable with a great strap that adjusts to any length.  The main pocket is deep (with various other pockets inside), and I can fit all my wallet, phone, reading glasses, a notepad, makeup and other paraphernalia I can't live without. As I said the main is deep, but slim enough where it lays flat against my hip. I travel a lot, and the zip-away water pocket is perfect and keeps me hands free. The other outer pocket for my iPod and headphones is genius! And the outer, felt-lined pocket for my sunglasses makes it easy to slip them out and on my face without worrying about putting them in a cumbersome glasses case. As you can tell by my rave review, I am extremely happy with this purse and will shop eBags again!
