So far I am very happy with this purchase, I've had it for a couple of weeks. I use it like a casual briefcase. It has a number of different compartments for everything you need to carry. Seems to be sturdy. Doesn't look like a purse. Great for a guy.
I purchased this bag about a year ago to be used as a diaper bag. I love it. It looks as good today as it did when I received it. I purchased the green and the color was a bit lighter than it looks on-line, but I actually think it looks better than the picture. I carry it everyday and it is very comfortable. Now that my son is getting a little older I don't need as much room so I am considering buying the smaller bag. I would definetly recommened this item.
I would recommend using this bag for its durability and storage capability and good looks. There are several compartments for your storage needs especially the outside pockets on both ends of the bag. I use the outside pockets for my sunglasses, digital camera,cell phone and anything else that I may need without havig to open the bag in a hurry,especially the camera or the phone. The inside of the bag is lined with nylon like material which is attractive and durable.I carry books of differrent sizes and writing materals including some art materials. The bag looks great for a man to carry and for me ,it is the right length of shoulder strap whichnis adjustable. I would recommend this bag for its practicality and good looks. I hope to get many years of use out of it.
I purchased this bag to hold my camera gear, a DSLR, multiple lens, filters, etc. The first trip it went on was last year to Ireland and Scotland. It was perfect! Filters fit in one pocket, memory cards into another, small journal and pens into another, travel documents into still another. Oh, and I can still fit a book and Ipod. Carried cross shoulder no danger of falling off. Since then, this bag has traveled across country twice by plane, to Canada and numerous car trips. The best part of this bag, it's not a camera bag so your gear is not advertised, but it's the best shoulder camera bag I have every used. (25 + years of experience). My only complaint, I just wish the strap was about four inches longer to make use cross shoulder easier. How much do I like it? I bought another just in case, but the build quality is so good, I may never need it. I added some internal padding and I have no fear that this case will protect anything I put into it. I go, it goes.
