Great travel purse! The crossbody bags are recommended to be less likely to be stolen. You can open the flap to get to a magnetic snap pocket for things you need to access often, including a mini-zip side pocket. I kept the more secure things inside the zippered compartment. There's also a back pocket that's closed by a magnetic snap that I used to keep my phone handy but out of reach and out of site. Big enough to fit my kindle. From a non-smoking home. Width: 9 1/2" Height: 7 1/2" Strap length: 48 1/2" (This is on the middle setting. There are two holes to lengthen and two to shorten)
