I got this as a babysitting bag to engage with the kids and hold books and activities. It works perfectly for that! Kids love it, the material is sturdy and (so far) easy to clean, and it holds a lot more than I thought it would. Would definitely recommend this bag to anyone looking for a fun but functional design.The bag is very large (which I wanted). All materials are synthetic, but it is very sturdily made and has taken two weeks' being loaded up and dragged around town with no ill effects. One small "con:" the interior pockets are all a little on the small side.I haven't smudged it or spilled on it (yet), but the faux "leather" looks as if it will be very easy to wipe down. I receive compliments on the image, which is very pretty. The straps are adjustable for those of us who like to sling our totes over our shoulders. If you are looking for a big, good-looking tote that will hold together, you should buy this one!Very cute. Spacious.
