The City Girl is a great size that fits all of my stuff and doesn't tempt me to cram more in because it won't go. I like the smaller size bag for that reason. I always end up taking everything with me whe nI have a larger bag even though I don't need to.
It's great for a trip to the market or a visit to a friend's place.
I love the three compartments - two with zippers. I'm paraonid about things falling out and the zipers ensure my items are safe.
My only issues come from the fact that the purse isn't sewn as well as my original City Girl bg I bought ten yars ago. Plus, the fabrics are kind of rugged compared to my original. But I am glad it still comes with the zippers with the little ball pulls, and the softer cords. I hate the rough ones.
All in all it's a lovely bag that suits my varied needs well.
