I am so happy with my bag. I needed a larger bag as have been seriously unwell and have to carry a lot of things with me for emergencies. The bag is surprisingly roomy. The front pocket holds my blood monitoring kit, insulin pens and needles and tablets. It keeps them away from the main bag area. This makes ot easy to find and use them when necessary. The bag area holds such a lot. I have a small bag in the bottom with emergency supplies including spare underwear etc. Never had to use them but is comforting for me to know they are there. There is plenty of room for all the bits and pieces you usually find in ladies handbags with room to spare. The only thing I am not so sure about is the calico lining. It is not as luxurious as it could be and might get grubby quickly. Apart from that everything else is perfect. Beautifully made and looks good as well as being practical.
