I’m an artist illustrator and published writer. That means I travel with a lot of accoutrements. I want something as light as possible, lots of organization and large enough to carry my au plein air tools and electronics of the trade. This handbag is lightweight empty and has lots of pockets and sections to keep you organized. It is vegan leather (faux leather) but it smells and feels like real leather. I have the tan brown color which is rich and luxurious. The lining is attractive and so far is holding up well. I’ve only had the handbag for less than six months. The handbag is highly functional and the strap can be adjusted for a shoulder bag or crossbody bag. There are adequate places to store colored pencils, micro markers, travel watercolors, sketch pad, water bottle, umbrella, iPad, iPhone, Kindle, glasses, wallet, makeup and miscellaneous. It is extremely easy to use and provides easy organization and access to your items quickly. Absolutely love this handbag and highly recommend.
