I purchased this several years ago and have kept it in storage without ever using it. There are no stains, but the handle has chipped a little bit from taking it out and taking photos a few times. I think it can be used by both women and men. It has many pockets and a belt to attach it to a carry-on suitcase. How about it for travel or everyday use in the coming season? ^^ Please note that it may take some time to reply and ship due to having a child. Also, I will pack it as small as possible for shipping! Thank you! ^^
