I am going to Paris for a few days and wanted a bag just the right size for carrying my camera, phone, tickets, wet wipes etc, this bag is more than adequate, it has 6 separate zippered compartments, a fly over flap which velcros to the front, and a zip round the base which can be opened to allow more room in the main bag. In the front zip compartment is a sectioned off area for a phone and a camera and 3 pens. It is made with very robust canvas and looks very fashionable. The strap is very strong and wide enough to be comfortable if carried any distance, it is also adjustable for people with long arms.
If you are looking for something a bit smaller than a messenger bag which you can carry a computer in, then this is ideal, I have certainly made the right decision of all the choice available at Amazon, just right for sightseeing without being intrusive. I would say it is also something you can carry securely without worrying it will be snatched or stolen, especially if you were to have the strap over your head and across the body, great bag, well designed.
