I use this bag as my purse. It's perfect to fit a waterbottle, notebook, planner, umbrella, shirt, etc in it! It's great because I can cram all of my stuff in here. I do wish it had more pockets, they get rather cluttered and it becomes hard to find stuff. Other than that, I love it. It doesn't look big but you can put alot in it. Also durable and I machine washed it (the zebra one) after spilling cheerwine on it and it came out looking like new.
