Doesn't look big, but you can actually fit a lot in it
This purse is the perfect size for people who want to be able to carry more than just a wallet/keys, but still don't need or want to carry a huge bag everywhere. I was able to fit a water bottle, my wallet, my Kindle, and an A5 size notebook in the main pocket with no difficulty. It would have had plenty of room for my phone too if I wasn't using it as a camera. In the front pocket, I had gum, lotion, keys and a couple other small items. Even with all that, this bag still zipped fully closed and didn't look overstuffed, as you can see in the second picture. This is the first messenger bag I've found that could do that. The material seems be durable and easily cleanable. When I was comparing different Travellon purses, I saw several people mention the inside fabric getting stuck in the zippers - mine does not have that problem, and I intentionally tried to get it stuck to check. Although I didn't buy it specifically for the anti-theft features, I do like that I can lock the zippers. That said all the locks really are is clips, and if I was looking to travel with this I would not put anything very valuable in the outer pocket (that zipper is easier to get to and get undone when you are wearing the purse). Ironically, that's where most of the RFID card slots are, probably for ease of access for me, but I feel like "easy access" kind of goes against the idea of "anti-theft". Still, I would definitely recommend the purse because there is plenty of room in the main pocket.
