I love cross body purses as my hands are then free for whatever I need. I work a lot of stadium events where we have to bring our things in a clear bag. This was perfect for what I need! I can now carry my chapstick, ibprophen for when I might need it, my cellphone or whatever else I might be bringing along with me in a convienient bag. This is the perfect size as it is not big and bulking nor is too small to be of any use. This was just what I was looking for!
