This bag is perfect for travel. So far it's been on multiple trips to visit our granddaughter, 2 beach trips, and a long air flight to Maine from Florida. there are so many secure pockets to keep your essential items separate and easy to access. this is a great purchase.The fabric is very sturdy. So is the sticking. There are zippered pockets on the top. bottom (umbrella) and outside. There's an ope pockets inside and a zippered one. This purse holds so much but starts out light and stays light. I love it.I can carry everything I need and more in this bagLooks a great bag with a lot of capacity and pockets. That's what I needI was hoping for a cotton or spandex type bag, not a silky one , but its absolutely beautiful!!! It has been very sturdy. Tons of room in it. If you're a light packer, you could easily make this an overnight bag or a purse. I love mine!!Its my "personal item" for traveling. Check dimensions, it might be too small for some.I love all the pockets! I have designated each pocket for something specific.Go to work. Large enough to carry what I need.This is a great tote. Roomy, but not too big. Lots of pockets, both inside and out. Outside pockets are deep enough to hold a travel umbrella, water bottle, lysol wipes, etc. There are two inside pockets, one is perfect for phones. There's also a zippered pocket inside. I'm 5'5" and have a bit longer torso and this tote's straps are a good length and don't cut under my arms. It appears to be washable, but I just wipe it off. Glad I bought it.
