This bag was perfect for a weekend trip out of town. I was able to use it as a carryon and it fit all the things I'd need without having to have checked luggage.The zippers are very thick and strong so it was easy to "stuff" a few extra items I purchased while away and I didn't feel like the bag would break.It's affordable, pretty and soft. The only thing I noticed was when it arrived in the mail the bag was of course folded and the black leather had rubbed onto the white. I was able to clean it off with warm water and a sponge. But other than that the bag is perfect.
