Very lightweight

I am a HUGE fan of Fossil products, yet have mixed feelings for this particular purse. I already own several Fossil handbags, all of them leather or mostly leather... this is my first (mostly) fabric bag in their brand. This purse is made of a very lightweight satiny "ripstop nylon" type of material, lined in a thin black cottony fabric. The handles are leather on one side, fabric on the back, and the bottom of the bag is a coated canvas. There is a dedicated phone pocket recessed in the middle of the back of the bag deep enough to fit my Samsung Galaxy S10 plus, and open pockets on both ends that will fit a disposable size water bottle. Interior has two open pockets and one zippered pocket, and it perfectly fits my 13.5 inch Surface laptop in its sleeve, with room left for whatever else I want to carry. It has enough structure to stand on its on despite the thin fabric.This purse hits many of my checkpoints for a winner: lightweight, comfy straps, zippered closure, exterior pockets, opens WIDE for easy access, fits a laptop... why my hesitation? Honestly, it is the style. Because of the fabric and the pockets that I so love, it very much looks like a diaper bag (a stylish diaper bag, but still a diaper bag). That said, I still think this is a keeper, as I see myself grabbing it as my "throw everything in it and go" purse.Tl;dr Not the most stylish purse, but great quality and usability
Great for different occasions

I really like the look of the Jenna Fabric Shopper Fossil Purse Handbag. It has a large zipper pocket that is large enough that it could double as a smaller diaper bag or hold a lot of kids stuff if needed. On the inside it has a zipper pocket on one side and on the other side it has two open pockets both big enough to hold a phone. On the outside it has pockets on both sides. It also includes a small pocket to hold your phone. I like the look of this bag and it is very light weight. I like that it can hold enough stuff for my children during the day, but if I wanted to go out for a girls night it would still look great. The outside material can be easily wiped off if something gets on it.
well made and durable

The Fossil Women's Jenna Fabric Shopper Purse Handbag is an attractive large purse. The black polka dot pattern is nice yet not overpowering. The nylon synthetic construction seems well made and durable. The leather straps look like they will hold up well to carrying some weight. It is well suited to carrying a computer (my wife's is 13 inch), pad of paper, water bottle and the other items that she normally carry in her smaller purse. The outside zipper compartment is good to have for items that need to be secure and easy to reach (like her iPhone). The problem with purses this size is finding smaller items like a phone. This purse will be a useful addition to her purse collection.
Big enough for all of your stuff

This is a very nice handbag. It's not small - as you can see in the photo when the cat walked by :-). It can easily fit all of your stuff including a 13" laptop computer. My wife likes it a lot.The seams are strong and the outer base is water resistant. There are a few pockets inside, but not too many. Likewise with the outside, a couple of pockets and a place to put a water bottle, maybe. It's a very spacious bag for all your needs.
