The Leah is a spacious tote bag with a built-in divider that keeps your water bottle (up to 40 oz.) upright and within easy reach — no rummaging or unzipping required. The divider is also perfect for carrying an umbrella, set of workout clothes, or whatever you'd like to keep separate from your valuables. The main compartment is an 11" zippered closure with a zipper pocket, a slip pocket, and plenty of room for all of your essentials.
