I am giving this five stars because it is beautiful, looks very well-made and durable, and is everything the listing said it was. I purchased this in hopes to combine the two bags I carry on a daily basis - a regular purse, and a structured tote that I use to carry my laptop, and a few computer accessories. The tote doesn't have a top so I'm not comfortable carrying my wallet in it.I think I will be returning, however, in search of something wider. While there is nothing wrong with the bag, I am writing this to help out anyone like me who looks through reviews for the nuances of a product.After excitedly opening it and filling it with my must-haves, I found it difficult to see what was in each section because it was so deep, but not very wide. The laptop section is in the middle, which does provide the best protection for the laptop, but it makes the dimensions of the bag much less for the other spaces. As someone who starts with the essentials but always accumulates extras, I'm afraid I'll have to empty the bag frequently to find what I'm looking for.Additionally, it was a little heavy for carrying on my shoulders. It would be fine for the quick trips walking to and from my car, but if I needed to walk around for several minutes it would hurt. A shoulder pad would be a lovely addition to help distribute the weight a little more. The strap for your hand is very sturdy (I didn't remove the plastic but it seems like it would be comfortable), so not an issue if you're not needing the shoulder strap!
