There are a lot of things I like about the organization of this bag. I also enjoy that it is a bit on the smaller side with expandable pouches on either end that I can put my water bottle or sunglasses into. It is even relatively comfortable to carry. HOWEVER, I got this bag around Thanksgiving and now it is February and, even without daily use, THE INSIDE LINER HAS COMPLETELY DETACHED ON ONE SIDE! - This is particularly unacceptable for a bag that is supposed to be sturdy, but really even less than I would expect from a regular purse/bag of decent quality. Only 2-3 months before it falls apart?? Ridiculous.
This is my Second attempt at a Travelon bag, my first one was too tall and narrow for my body type. I posted some pictures and a video review as well. I am a very short bodied person 5'3", so I can't use a "tall" purse without looking "stumpy" or having the purse be from my hip to my armpit. This bag hugs to my hip well. It is a little bit bulky fully packed but I do have it crammed FULL of stuff. It fit : 2 Tour Books, large and small, language guide, hard glasses case, hard camera case, full sized wallet with checkbook, diabetic testing kit, and power bank/charger for electronics. Plus a small amount of makeup and a pen. It has 2 end pockets that will fit both 16 oz and 23 oz water bottles. I did have a small issue with one of the zipper pulls coming off, a simple "crimp" down of the zipper holder and it was fine.
