Busy with my job and trying to adult, I only have time for short getaways over the weekends. And it's tedious to carry a big trolley bag on these short trips. This is why I love the bag its small enough to be carried around comfortably and big enough to carry all my essentials for two days. The zippers on the outside are perfect to keep my wallet and kindle so they are always handy. Also, it's so stylish!
