I just opened the shawl, this am, planning on taking it on your next cruise, will not take much room and it's warm, will be an asset to my cruise attire, and I'm sure I will be using before that...
This bag is much more elegant in person, can store a cell phone, lip balms and keys. Please note, the color is not as vivid as pictured and is a muted purple. If you like quality, understated bags you will love this!!! I am so glad I purchased it!
