A demonstration of how much can fit into the Zhoe! It's about the same that can fit into the Little Athena, for those curious. I was super impressed because this time, I tried to fit a water bottle in, and to my surprise... it did! I couldn't zip it up with the water bottle on top, BUT it didn't make my Zhoe bulge at the top or look as if it was holding too much / was too "full".

(I actually have two water bottles that could potentially fit into Zhoe, but the other one is a much smaller size. This water bottle is 20oz, which is perfect for situations when I'm not sure if I would have the ability to re-fill, for example.)

The water bottle was stored unzipped at the top of the main compartment. In theory I also could have zipped up the main compartment if I had stashed the water bottle on the bottom, but in most scenarios I would probably have the water bottle on top - after taking a drink, I probably wouldn't take the time to jigsaw the water bottle back into the bottom.

I also included two pictures of what it looks like from the top-down, with and without the water bottle stacked on all the stuff.

Luna in bronze crystal goat. Handles were customized to be 1.5” wide. Light gold hardware. Marine lining.

Marco used medium thickness leather with extra backing for this bag. It feels sturdy. As far as care of this leather, he says this is a laminato, so he suggests not stressing corners and handles too much.
