Color: Cream
Two deep elasticated side pockets hold a large 40 oz tumbler upright, so it is not inside taking up room or tipping over onto your things.
The whole bag is about 12 oz empty. Reviewers of bags like this one keep saying the same thing: they forget it is on their shoulder.
Stethoscope, a change of scrubs, lunch, a clipboard and folders, and the zip still closes without the bag bulging out of shape.
A matching quilted zip pouch comes in the box for sanitiser, lip balm, wipes and pens, so the small things stop migrating to the bottom.
Size is the number one complaint in this whole category, in both directions. So every photo on this page is the bag swallowing a named object: a 40 oz tumbler, a stethoscope, a clipboard, a folded fleece. Judge it on those, not on the word roomy.
The handles are padded and stitched into the body rather than tacked on. It is still a soft-sided nylon tote, not a leather work bag, so treat it as an everyday carry rather than something to put bricks in.
Cream and Camel do show a scuff. If that is going to bother you, Black or Dark Khaki is the honest pick. Spot clean with a damp cloth and mild soap, and let it air dry.
The two top handles are wide and padded so the weight spreads instead of cutting in. This is a shoulder and hand-carry bag: there is no crossbody strap, and we would rather say so here than let you find out.
The stacked front slip pockets take a modern phone, and the deep side pockets take a large tumbler or a folded umbrella. Exact interior measurements go up as soon as we have a unit in hand to measure.

If it is not what you pictured, send it back within 30 days unused. Email support@primapetal.com and a person will answer. Size is the thing people get wrong with bags like this, so we would rather you check it against your own tumbler and send it back than keep something that does not work.
