LOVE this bag - 5 days ago, Verified purchaser
There is so much that I can fit in this bag. I have used this bag to bring documents in a carrying case with a laptop, water bottle, travel-sized toiletries, charger, and water bottle in this bag along with plenty of medication travel packs. I have used it daily and will re-purchase when this one wears out.

I just love this bag. It holds just the right amount of items. It prevents me from overloading it and keeping me organized. It is well made for the price. The color is great and I get a lot of complments on it. I even ordered a second one to have two colors to choose from.

This is beautiful and I’m going to buy another in another color. Great for lugging the laptop back and forth from work and home and not aggravating my back.

I like that it’s fairly small, yet holds quite a bit. The material is durable and the handles on top make it easy to carry when you’re not wearing it. Lots of little pouches and zippered pockets.
Its alright.

It’s great that it slides over luggage as I travel very often. However, I find that the bag isn’t very spacious and the opening doesn’t go that wide to get items in and out.
Reliable quality!

This bag is a nice size for travelling or commuting because it's not super large but still fits a laptop and a few small items and a water bottle on the side. It has lots of pockets, however, one of the larger pockets inside has a seam that broke after only a couple of uses.

Perfect for work! I wish the part that holds my laptop (15.6”) was maybe an inch longer, but overall I love it.
Great, if you dont have much to pack.

AmandaKC - 2 months ago, Verified purchaser
So starters. This bag arrived way late thanks to LSO. Second. How is everyone fitting stuff into it? This is one of the Starbucks dupes, a skinny binder, a few pouches and a couple other misc items. My laptop is a 15.6 inch. So it is a little bigger than recommended. I would recommend this bag if you have one of those cute little laptops and don’t need to pack much. Quality seems good but I do think it is a little overpriced for a target item.
I get so many compliments!

Solid school backpack, although a little overpriced for what it is. I also took at as a personal item on a flight and it handled it well. The only think I disliked are the handles at the top. They aren’t able to lie flat due to the way the backpack is. A little annoying when I notice but nothing serious.
