I bought the Fluent Stash because I loved the look of it and thought it could also work as a large clutch purse. Unfortunately, it's a bit smaller than I had thought and can't quite fit everything I need while still maintaining the shape of the stash.
In the top zippered flap, you can't quite fit more than the pictured cords. I usually keep credit cards and cash there. I've tried putting a small pocket Moleskine in the main center storage slot, an iPhone (in a hardcase) on the left flap and a small Canon SD1400 in the right flap. those three things turn out to be much too bulky when you actually fold up the stash. It becomes something that you have to throw in a bag or tote, not really something you can carry around in one hand easily, unless you have large hands. The most you can fit is two items, like either the Moleskine or phone, and maybe some folded papers in the other flap.
The other major issue I've run into is that I can't access things I need easily. If you're at the airport and you need to access things like a passport or cash, you'd have to stop and unfold it all to get to the inside compartments. It's less for being mobile during travel than it is for keeping small items together and organized, making it easily to find things once you are settled.
Like I said, it looks great on its own but the functionality of the product doesn't quite reach the standards that I expect from Nau.
