Baggallini AMG332DO Ala Carte Medium Crinkle Giraffe Womens Handbag

I purchased this from Amazon a few months ago, since I do a lot of traveling and hate hate HATE how crowded the planes have gotten, but man, I need my "stuff". I have gone through an embarrassment of handbags in the last two years. They either are the wrong size, fall apart or just don't handle all my "stuff"

Earphones? check
Kindle reader? check
Umbrella? check
Paperback book? check
Water bottle? Gotcha, not allowed through security! But if I am at the gate and want to buy food to take on, well THEN the water bottle fits beautifully in the outer compartment. And I can stuff my food into the bag easily.
