I have purchased both this bag and the similar Olympia brand bag also sold here on Overstock. I got the Olympia first and loved it so I decided to buy a second bag. One for work...I walk to work and take a lot of stuff with me like food, purse,umbrella etc...and one for neighborhood shopping...I live in the city. I choose this as the overall better tote although I love the Olympia bag too-it is taller and opens wider at the top and gives extra space for soft items like a blanket because of it. This bag has 2 outer side pockets larger than the 1 pocket on the other bag. Also this bag has 2 zippered canvas outer front pockets, where the Olympia has just the one outer flimsy front mesh pocket. One big difference to me is a button lock/release on the handle, and it does stand better when empty than Olympia. Also the handle wrap is nicer and there is a click strap across the zipper perpendicular to hold it up when very full. good feature. I bought the zebra in this and blue argyle Olympia...
