Reguardless of what the first person who answered this question said - it can be used as either a purse or a bookbag.
It's your cousins personal preference.
A "tote bag" has no specific purpose, other than to "tote" things around.
I have one, it's slightly smaller than I would like it to be. Of course, it's not Abercromie - because I don't personally like that brand, or most other brands like it.
I use it for books - but at semester, when the amount of books I have decreases, it'll be more like a purse.
My cousin has one, she uses it for a purse. She carries car keys, her camera, her billfold, and all those other essentials inside of it. I'm pretty sure hers is from American Eagle.
Granted, we're both sixteen.
But I know plenty of kids around twelve who use them.
Try talking to your cousin about purses. I was considering buying one of my friends a purse - and I started off the subject with my disgust of those trashy sequin things. It eventually got to the point where she told me exactly what she liked. [ sevenmilliondown's advice column | Ask sevenmilliondown A Question ]

But when I was 12, I didn't like big purses (but I do now), so maybe you should talk to her and somehow fit purses into a conversation to see if she likes big purses. Hope I helped.
