This bag is a great size! The 4 outside pockets are so handy for keys, my company badge/key card, cell phone and an extra for anything you need to slip in there quickly! It's a good sized handbag, but it is not overwhelmingly large. It's a good size. I like the zipper on the top to close when I am in a large group and want some extra security. The leather is very soft and supple and doesn't weigh down the handbag like many leather handbags tend to do. A great buy for the money!
