This can actually be used as a unique purse, but it is so sturdy and waterproof that it is really great for small loads of laundry or storage, etc. It is VERY solid & sturdy. It's made out of some kind of rubber-like flexible plastic that bends and flexes a bit. Since it is flexible, it can spread wider to hold extra items too. It is a super fun bright hot pink fuschia color. It measures 13" in length, 7" tall (not including the 4" height of the handles), 6.5" wide, but the side walls of the purse can expand beyond that.
