I love everything about this bag, and I've received many compliments on it just in the first week. The color of it and the clean lines go with everything from professional outfits to casual weekend looks. For me though, looks don't matter much if the functionality isn't there. I'm happy to report this purse is not only beautiful, but thoughtfully put together for optimal organization. The two pockets on the outside of the purse are deep but quite tight, so they are not ideal for keeping a cell phone or keys in as I thought they might be. You could certainly use them for that, but I would worry that the pockets would stretch out and cause the bag to wear more quickly. However, do not despair. Inside there is a large zippered pouch on one side, and dual pockets on either side of the bag. One side has two pockets that are cell-phone sized and can easily accommodate any device. The other side has one slightly smaller pocket and one slightly bigger pocket. The larger one is perfect for car keys, while I use the small one for lip glosses and such. No more rummaging around for those pesky smaller items that seem to fall into the mysterious bermuda triangle that live in all tote purses. Thank you to the practical geniuses at Michael Kors for your generous use of purse pockets!! The remaining space in the purse can easily fit a tablet or book along with all the other necessities. I am a little concerned by some of the other reviewers who reported straps breaking, but they appear to be well constructed and considering everything this bag has to offer, I am willing to take the risk.
