This is larger than a traditional purse, yet smaller than a campus bookbag (and much more stylish I might add). I purchased this messenger bag as basically my everyday tote and I love it. The neutral colors are great and the cloth is very easy to clean. There's enough room inside that I can throw my laptop in it, plus any other additional things such as wallet, cell phone, etc. I get a lot of compliments from others and think it was well worth the money, anticipating that I'll have it for a long while.
Bought this for a college graduate, he used it right away. Canvas was sturdy, colors were masculine and bag looks professional. Great buy. Great quality.
Great for travel and around town. Can carry a lot! Canvas is good - sturdy but soft enough. Could use some smaller inside pockets and the shoulder strap is short, but just works on me.
The extra thick velcro is great on the outer pockets and so s the snap on the flap.
I Love the bag. It"s a little larger then I thought it would be, but thats okay. I like large bags. I really like the color I choose which is the lighter shade of Dune. It's great for the summer.
