I've had many compliments for my bag. Mostly, people think it's suede until I reveal it's canvas. The longer I have the bag the more people mistake it for canvas because of the shading that happens through time. You can say my bag has character.
The size is perfect for a petite person, but mostly I love the velcro pocket on the back which is ideal for my cell phone - easy access.
The zippered pocket, under the flap, has a key holder so I never need to be searching for my keys in the cavernous mess that is my handbag. The most important thing is the strap for the keyholder, it is long enough for me to open the door to my house without having to detach the key hence preventing me from ever walking out of the house without my keys! (I almost never leave the house without my handbag.)
The interior compartment is just right because it allows me to carry some snacks but not so big that I continue adding without the need to review the contents.
I got it in sand dune and love the color. I am saving the bag for an upcoming vacation so I haven't used it yet, but have started filling it up and it looks like it will be perfect for everything I need. I really like that it is light weight but substantial.
Love this bag! I had it for awhile before I actually started using it, now I use it all the time. Features I like...lots of room with out being too big or bulky, zippered compartments for security, and key clip makes it easy to find my keys. You can't go wrong with this bag and you'll wondered how you ever managed without it.
This is a great bag; in fact, it's my third one. Several years ago I got a burnt orange colored one, then the olive, and now the brown. I rotate them throughout the year. I ride the bus to work and this bag can carry several bottles of water, my wallet, brush, keys, a book (love the back pocket for that) and an umbrella. I may switch to another type of bag now and then, but always come back to this one. It's perfect.
