The bag was larger than what I expected it to be. It's made out of fabric, which is a good thing knowing that it'll last for multiple uses. I do think if you put something outrageously heavy in it, it will rip or the seams will undo. So as long as you don't do that, the bag will be fine for whatever use! Also, it's a cute Christmas bag that'll be worth putting some kind of present in. Why wouldn't you want it?
