I love the fabric, inside and out.  It's a nice size (I wanted to downsize)- not too big, not too small.  It's great for running around town.  It would be nice, though, if the bag was a little more versatile and there was a way to wear it around one's waist as well as over the shoulder.  I also bought another Baggallini bag locally (on sale) that is larger and terrific for using on trips. It's also lightweight, made of the same good material, and was great for holding my camera, a couple of books, etc.  Overall, I would say these bags are winners.
