This bag exceeded all my expectations!! It's well made and the colors are really bright, it's so pretty. I love it!! It's also pretty big, you can probably hold a bit more in it than just your mala. I personally am keeping a small notebook that I write my own prayers and things in, as well as, my mala. They both fit perfectly!!
The one thing I can say that could be a bit on the negative side as far as the bag goes, is that I do not care for the black beads at the end of the handles. I think one of mine is broken and to be totally honest they kind of cheapen the bag in a way. Other than this, the bag is definitely something I would recomend to anyone looking for a nice storage place or something to keep one's mala in for protection and or travels.
Many Blessings!!
