This bag could be an amazing work bag, as it can fit a laptop and 8 1/2" x 11" papers easily, as well as tons of other items. The interior material is a silky-feeling satin with Radley Scottie dog print. The bag consists of 3 separate large compartments (two zippered compartments, and a middle compartment that closes with a magnetic closure). There is one zippered interior pocket, as well as 2 side pockets. On the exterior, there is one open pocket between the handles on the back side of the bag.
