I purchased the Pecan color from a boutique store. I wanted a gratuitously large bag to carry everything I need. Hand held fan, wallet, hat, hoodie, iPad, blender bottle, protein powder, etc. This is absolutely everything I needed. I wish it came in darker colors, and overall it is a phenomenal bag. I love all the pockets. I ALSO purchased the Rachel to see if I liked it more, and it doesn’t hold a candle to the Miriam.
