Exactly what I'd wanted
I got a crossbody bag with vertical stripes in multicolors, and absolutely love it. It's a perfect size for me as I rarely carry a purse, because it fits a book and notebook that I need to carry, as well as having pockets that turn in to my "coin" pocket, pens and keys pocket, etc. I'll be looking for sales for Christmas presents, and also another one for me! MultiSac is now my "go-to" brand.
