I bought a large heatwave bag for my daughter who is a senior in high school. She found it much too big for her. It was HUGE and when she took home her books it hurt her shoulders.
This bag is amazing! I bought it for school and it is very spacious. Although the colors aren't the same as they appear online, it still looks and feels nice! The large messenger is the best for fitting ALL of my school notebooks and textbooks! The strap is so comfortable and I love how it can be adjusted!! The compartments are also amazing since they can fit all my things such as: calculator, pens, pencils, etc. This bag is truely amazing and I will definitly use it forever!! I would highly recommend this bag to anyone who is looking for something that is fashionable, comfortable, and has an amazing amount of space.
LL Bean should call the mini messenger the ultimate dog walker's bag. I walk two big dogs and I never had enough hands for juggling leashes, doggie bags, and tennis ball for the beach. The mini gives me a place to stash all the stuff and leave my hands free to hold on tight when a cat crosses our path. PLUS, the iPod pocket has us taking longer walks.
i got the mini in february and have used almost everyday since. it the best bag for shopping and going to broadway musicals in new york. i've had so much fun and it's all been with this bag. it's the best one i've ever had in my life!!!!!!!!
