I was not sure how I would like this messenger bag as the description was not very detailed. However when it came I was pleasantly surprised. The bag is absolutely beautiful the colors are vibrant and match well. The opening is not as wide as I had hoped but it works for me as I put a piece of Velcro on the inside so that I don’t have to keep zipping and unzipping the bag. Love the pockets it has as well as the conceal carry. It will not house my 9mm but houses my 380mm however the main pocket is big and roomy enough to house my 9mm along with my wallet and makeup bag. It is very sturdy a bit stiff but once I rolled it around it was very pliable. It is soft and not too baggy on the inside. I can drop my phone and keys into the smaller pocket in the front without having to dig through the bottom of the bag to find things. Also holds my tablet and a book just fine. Like the length of the handle as I am a crossbody carry as I like to have both hands feee.
