Hi Deb! I bought the tate about a month ago.. It is a decent size - I can fit my mini zippy, cosmetic pouch, keys, tissues and random things like chewing gum...
I prefer using my mini zippy in this bag rather than my french purse so I can fit more.. Whereas If I used the french purse, it would take up most of the bag space!
It is very cute and stylish.. A bag to hold essentials however I found the strap doesn't fit properly on my shoulder... Like it's too thick and slides off easily.. I use my speedy more often.. But it is a nice bag =)
