I appreciated how well packed this bag came with several protective features to ensure safe arrival. I love the colors. Purple is always a toss up, because you don't know until you really eyeball it if tends toward red or blue in tone. This does tend more towards the red tones, especially the upper portion of the two purples. There is one exterior zippered compartment. The bag appears to be extremely well made with light colored interior that makes it easier to locate items. In addition to some well stitched interior pockets, there is also a zippered center section. One of the additional features is a clip on shoulder strap, fairly narrow, for someone who wants a bag they can wear across their chest.
