This is a beautiful bag. The leather is very soft and supple. The magnetic closures are very strong so nothing will accidently fall out. It is large enough to hold all of the "essentials" but not so large as to be cumbersome and heavy. On the inside it is divided into two sides with a middle zippered section, as well as two small pockets and a zippered pocket on one side. On the outside there are two zippered pockets on the sides as well as the large pocket in the front and a small cell phone pocket on the back. I wish they would give the dimensions but I couldn't find them so I will provide them here. It is 10 1/2" tall, 15" long and 5 1/2" wide at the base. The only downside is that since the leather is so soft it is a bit floppy but that is the tradeoff for the wonderful feel of the leather. This is my second B. Makowsky bag and I will be looking for more at Amazon's great prices.

this is the perfect size tote. you can fit you essentials without over stuffing.

I just wish it would be clear that the leather is pebbled. It lightly pebbled, but I prefer smooth. iIt did not specify that.

I have several B. Makowski bags. they are fairly expensive, and I think you can make better choices if you see them in person.
