I purchased the "saddle" colored leather backpack and I absolutely LOVE it! The leather is thick, beautiful, and extremely durable. The bag is very well made, and it's lined in a nice, sturdy fabric. Yet, as thick as the leather is, the bag is not heavy. It's small enough to be flattering, yet not so small that you can't fit what you need in it. I have a full sized wallet, a case for my sunglasses, and an aluminum credit card wallet in the main compartment, and I keep cosmetics, etc, in the zippered pockets. There's an internal zippered pouch for small items, and 2 zippered pockets on the front. There's also a pocket on the back side where I keep my cell phone, passport, or anything else that I want to be able to get to, but I don't want others to be able to reach. There is a looped strap on the back as well, which is nice when you want to hang your purse up on a door or chair. The shoulder straps are thick enough to be comfortable, yet they're not ugly. The ultimate test was a day at Disneyland this week...easy on my back, easy to fit in the hanging nets in front of me on the Indiana Jones and Tower of Terror rides, and I was able to carry a cardigan, sunglass case, small wallet, and water bottle in the purse the whole day. I wish I bought 2 of these purses!! Best bag I've ever owned!
