I literally just got this, and I am pretty happy with it so far. I hope it holds up well.I love purses with lots of outer-pockets compartments exactly like this. One of the pockets is perfect for a cell phone. I'm picky about the size of purses as well, and I like this sort of medium size. Not too big or small.I just wish I could find a purse just like this but was little bit more sturdy. I also would like this purse offered in a variety of prints/patterns.I took this bag to Disney world and it was great! Not too big, has nice compartments, and is very durable. Nice vinyl and is easily wiped clean. Would recommend.Loved the purse but one of the zippers at the end does not work well. I'm going to try some soap on the zipper. Other that it's great.product's style, color and weight are excellent. however, odor from the material is unsatisfactory.The purple is a bit darker than what the picture shows, but still cute and fits everything perfectly!I needed a bigger purse to start carrying an EpiPen set for my niece. It's incredibly hard to shop for purses online when the vendors are not clear on the measurements. Seriously, how hard would it be to include the measurements of every side and pocket?? I ended up settling on this one because it was affordable, my favorite color, and had lots of pockets. Overall I'm happy with this purse and enjoy carrying it around. I was able to tuck away all the things I don't use on a daily basis in the pockets and just use the inside for things I access a lot (and the EpiPens because they are in a bulky case that didn't fit in any of the pockets like I'd hoped).For everyday usage, I don't sling it across my body. I tighten the strap all the way and carry it on one shoulder. My biggest complaint is that the material is very slippery, so it falls off my shoulder all the time. The strap doesn't get small enough to have it high enough to use my arm to clamp it on. The few times I have lengthened the strap so I could carry it hands free, it's felt comfortable in all the normal positions: in front, on the side, behind the back.The red color has already started to pick up smudges and marks from day-to-day usage (I've had it about a month).To give an idea of the pocket sizes, here's what I have in them:- Side pocket 1: Inhaler and my work key chain. Not much extra room- Side pocket 2: Slim folding mirror and various hair ties and clips. Not much extra room.- Front pockets 1-2: Cases for cards I don't use often. No extra room. Basically these could hold a deck of cards, max.- Big front pocket: this is the biggest of the exterior pockets. Actually, the EpiPens would have fit in here but it's better used as my mobile first aid and cleanup supply pocket. Can never have too many hand wipes and band-aids with a 6-year old. One thing to be aware of is that this pocket is so big because it bulges into the main interior area. So the more you put in it, the less space there is inside. But there's plenty of space inside.- Back pocket: checkbook, pens, etc. Could fit more in here if the item was tall and flat.- Interior zipped pocket: makeup and personal care items...pretty roomy- Small interior open "Pockets": So far I haven't used these. Way too small for my phone (iPhone 6s Plus). Could put some cards or cash in them.- Main interior area: So many of the purses I had looked at had a divided interior so I was a little disappointed that this was just one big pocket. My bad of course. Once I got over my momentary disappointment, I appreciated that all my over-sized stuff can just be thrown in there. Since all the little stuff is neatly tucked away in all the pockets, I don't have to do much digging to find my phone or whatnot. It's plenty big for me even with the space the big front pocket takes up. Also, I could stick a bottle (maybe two) of water in here for the day.Overall, I'm pleased with this purchase and would recommend it.It's surprisingly a great productMy main draw to this bag was the pockets. I was looking to abandon the diaper bag and move everything into my purse, but my old purse was just lacking any kind of built-in organization. So I began my search. After a couple of weeks of poring over search results, I found this.I just received this today and so far it is all I had dared to hope for. The color does not quite match what shows on Amazon, but is closer to what is shown on the official Scarleton site. It seems to be difficult to get a picture that is true to color. I think my pictures are a tiny bit too bright, and the Scarleton picture is a tiny bit too dark.It has a bit of a plastic smell currently, but I imagine that will fade with time. Sooner if you let it air out. Despite being nylon, it is not a noisy bag at all. There's a bit of rustling if you rub the strap on the bag, but that is about it. Unlike some of the cheaper multi-pocket options you can buy, there is not a lot of crinkling every time you move the bag. It is soft, smooth, and quiet. The inner lining feels a bit more plastic-y in some places than in others, but not in an unpleasant way.The measurements listed here seem to be a bit off. Manufacturer's website says 12"x10"x6", which seems more accurate.The two front pockets are about 5" tall and about 4.5" wide. I have fairly small hands, and still can not really stick my hand in those pockets without discomfort. They are suitable for my cell phone, though, as long as I don't need to zip them. Will probably use one for that and the other for coins or napkins.The two pockets on the ends are about 4.75" tall, 4" wide at the base, and about 3" wide at the top. I stuck a 16.9oz water bottle in one and it did a pretty good job of holding it upright, though obviously that is not what it is intended for.Inside the main compartment, there is a zippered pocket and a couple open pockets that would be suitable for cell phones or mp3 players.Overall, there is a decent amount of room, and it is an attractive bag. I was worried it would be smaller than I anticipated and I would have to return it based on it not being able to hold enough, but that does not appear to be the case.I will be sure to update this after I have used it a while to let people know how well it holds up.UPDATE: Nearly 5 months later, this bag is holding up well. The smell disappeared at some point, probably in the first couple of weeks. I honestly do not remember. Nothing has snagged or torn. It carries my devices and diapers and glasses case and all manner of "just in case" things (napkins, wipes, lens wipes, feminine products, and so on) with plenty or room to spare. I have even had my compact umbrella in there and one of those large Propel water bottles without issue. This is by far the best purse I have ever had.Love this bag very much. It is the type of bag I was looking for a long time, so glad I bought it. It is big enough to fill with a lot of things. I carry almost everything with me and I filled all the spaces it has with staff. Really wonderful. The material is waterproof. I used it in rainy days and everything inside stayed dry. Fantastic. The belt is adjustable so you can ware it as you wish. I prefer cross body, more practical. And for the price it has is more than worthy.I'm ashamed to say that I didn't have high hopes for this bag due to the price. I only needed it for every day use so didn't really mind. I was really surprised at the quality when it arrived, I even logged back in to check if I'd been sent the right one. The photo does not do this bag justice. It has fast become my favourite.Excellent bag, bought two bc half price, strap long, which was reason for purchase.The very best bag I've had in years thanksVery nice bag well made good price
