I purchased this originally because I needed a bag that was safe & could carry everything that I need when I go out. Due to health issues, I travel in an electric Powerchair. I need a bag that has spots for a drink, my phone, umbrella, pens/markers, my wallet, a planner, a notebook (or 3 of various sizes,) my blood kit for testing my blood sugar, a case with some medications, as well as an additional 1 for the small amount of makeup I sometimes wear, sunglasses, my cellphone, a charger, hard candy for when sugar drops too low, sometimes my Best Buy Fire HD, & a black-paper sketchbook or small Mandela coloring book. As well as anything else I might need. This only changes during spring/summer &/or Fall/winter. I chose the Burgundy color because my 3 favorite colors are Crimson Red, Green and Purple. So the burgundy that is this one to me is brighter than most "wine-reds" for which burgundy would fall under. This is closer to the crimson color, that I love, in my opinion. When I received it, I immediately opened it, because I wanted to see if there was an obnoxious odor they way some reviewers claimed. It wasn't fishy or terribly off-putting but a quick spray of my essential oil room spray I make; fixed it right up. Now when I open it, I'm smelling tangerine & Cinnamon bark. It's VERY LARGE inside, I was sure to include as many pictures to show you the different items I might carry when I leave my apartment for doctors appointments. On those days, I take public transportation in the form of "TARPS" which is a smaller bus in length only that takes me to and from appointments. Which is the reason I need to carry medicine, a drink, an umbrella, a notebook for keeping track of important things from an appointment w/ a doctor but also something I can read, watch a show, listen to an audio book and/or create or color something fun AND ALL OF THAT needs to be with me when I leave my apartment. I could be at the location of my appointment for hours because I have to give TARPS 1.5 hrs of time ahead of my actual appointment w/ my doctor for travel (both ways.) I find that even if this purse is on my back when I'm doing very short distances with a cane, once it's on my back, it's a balanced weight and doesn't hurt my shoulders. Both of which have torn rotator cuffs & normally can't handle anything over 4lbs. But my purse on regular doctor days is definitely weighing more than that as you can tell. I usually carry my bag at my feet, sitting on the foot-plate. I love the security features, such as the bigger zipped space that can only be gotten to from the inside, where most people would have that facing their back. I feel doubly safe when I am strapping it to the back of my chair. Using a small bungee cable; it allows no one to try to steal it. Those days, I don't carry my cell in the outside pockets though. I ordered the burgundy color which is vegan leather and has been rained on & yet still looks brand new. I'm taking a vacation in November with family & friends so I will be purchasing the same brand but the smaller size and probably will purchase one in a more neutral color (black, brown or navy.) I want to carry just enough to attend dinner without having to constantly take out ALL THE EXTRA that I leave my house with normally. The neutral color will allow it to be paired with any outfit. I like to dress up, for a nice dinner without my bag jingling or looking like a small suitcase. Everything the company mentioned when describing this purse was, in my opinion completely true. It will hold everything you might want to carry, whether that is a lot or very little. (I will add to my review once i get the smaller size.) Brighest Blessings )O(
