When I read other bag reviews that say “it holds the essentials” and the bag is inevitably the size of a paperback novel, I chuckle. I am a mom of four and *this* bag holds all of *my* essentials: keys, wallet, phone, hand cream, sunscreen, lip gloss, any other cosmetics I might need, ibuprofen/pepcid/zyrtec/childrens’ ibuprofen, iPad, a kids’ book or two, snacks, water bottle, wipes for any messes, and a changing pad/diaper if I really need (though I am thankfully almost done with this!). I could even fit my 13” laptop in here and use for work if I wanted. When the straps are lengthened all the way I can wear crossbody. You could also shorten them to wear on one shoulder. It is made from a beautiful pale blue, soft and supple leather that is surprisingly neutral. It looks great with jeans. It comes with a clutch with a keeper leash and also has an inside zipper pocket. The top has a covered zipper, so it closes fully, unlike many totes. I loved this bag and bought it. It was the stuff of my large bag dreams. 🩵✨

Heavy and comes with a clutch inside. Wish it were slightly smaller and had more pockets.
