This pouch is great for holding makeup, pencils, toiletries, tech cables, and whatever else you need to hold. The zipper is smooth opening and closing without snaps or pulls. The material is a nice canvas or other material that appears durable when holding multiple pens and other pointy objects- no holes so far! Itis very deep inside; this one is about 2/3 full with pens, correction tape, a timer, hand sanitizer and lotiona nd more room to go! It is think, but lined on the inside with another fabric. The wording on the outside is very inspirational (appears on both sides) for educators of all types. This would make a great gift for a special educator in your life or for yourself. Travels well and looks wonderful.
