NWLRWomen 20111 Luggage- Carry-On Luggage

Q: How much does this item weigh? I want to use as an everyday purse.

It's very lightweight; it weights about a pound and would serve the purpose. It's intended as a travel bag and personally, I think it's too large to use as an everyday purse, even when not expanded, but that's a personal choice - I don't know how much stuff you carry every day in your purse.

Q: Can this be washed in machine

I would read the instructions but I do not plan on putting it in the washing machine. If it needs more than a wipe down I will hand wash it in the sink.

Q: How much weight can this hold?

I can't tell you what the weight actually was, but this bag held a lot of stuff, including clothing, my cosmetics, my jewelry, my Kindle, my iPhone, my chargers, my passport, my handbag, and lots more (and I didn't even have to expand it). I wouldn't worry too much about the weight it can hold (unless you're planning on packing bricks) - the capacity is the important thing. It rests nicely on the carry handle of my luggage, easily goes over my shoulder to carry on board an airplane, and it fits under the seat in front of me.

Q: Is there a separate part of the bag that holds shoes?

There's no shoe compartment in the bag, but there's plenty of room for shoes, clothes, etc. You can put shoes on the bottom or around the edges. The bag has a large main bag, two zipper pockets and two Inside patch pocket, and a dry wet separation bag, It is enough for short trips and can easily accommodate 3-5 days of travel clothes.
