The art tote bag has 1 main pocket with 3 pockets on the out side. The large main pocket can hold a lot. Also long items and somewhat tall items can be in the main pocket. There is one pocket of 3 that is medium size. The other 2 pockets are a little bit smaller. All the pockets are great. It gives me the option of where do I want to put my items. There is a strap that you can just the length. You can also take off the strap and put it back on the tote. This one is better than the new ones. The new ones can’t hold a lot compared to XL art tote bag.
