I saw this bag in Asda recently while I was shopping for other things (isn't that always the way with supermarkets these days!?) and I liked the shape and size of it as an occasional weekend bag. They had it in three different prints, the leopard style pictured above, zebra print and a print with lots of rabbits on (?). All were the same shape, size and style and priced at £9 - I bought the zebra print one.

You effectively get what you pay for, this is a cheaply produced bag made of man made materials in a combination of faux leather and plastic. It has two large handles attached with rings to the main body of the bag and they do seem pretty sturdy. It has a smallish zip pocket on the front and a large main compartment.

The zebra print is on the main body of the bag and then the base and the reinforced sections around the handles are a block black colour. The base of the bag is flat and it sits easily upright. The measurements are as follows: height 13 inches / 34cm and width 20 inches / 50cm.

I find this bag is just about big enough to shove a few essentials in for an overnight away, I would not use it as a cabin bag for two reasons - for me it does not have enough compartments and also I prefer a bag with a shoulder strap so that I have a choice about how to carry it. Although this bag is pretty fashionable it does not give a lot of choice in terms of use.

For £9 this is a stylish and fashionable bag which serves a basic purpose and it does have enough space for a short break but you would have to be very economical with what you took. It looks pretty good but is also pretty basic.
