This backpack is awesome! My Macbook Pro 13” fits easily inside with a bit of room to spare. I waited to review to see how long it would last. Usually by now the PU starts pulling away from the handle and the straps get folded or stiff and hurt my shoulders.I did get a leather case with a stand to use as a pocket for the MacBook to protect the glass top, and I got a plastic cover to protect it when the bag is full or tips over or is wedged into something. (Repairing the screen is possible but more than an expensive inconvenience.)There are plenty of pockets inside and out. It actually doubles as my purse. The pocket in the back does not stay zipped up, so I never put anything in there. The straps are long and they adjust too easily, so they can come loose pretty easy. I think that is a personal preference.It’s strong but not heavy. Floppy but not flimsy. Sleek but not flashy.I love the durability and variety of colors they come in. I use mine as a diaper bag, which works out great. The side pockets are stretchy which allows different size bottles to fit just right. The bag is slouchy, which I actually love. If you put enough in it, it looks as pictured. The 3 different ways of carrying is a plus! I use the shoulder strap when I’m in the go or opt not to use backpack straps. The only thing I can think of that may be an issue with some is interior space when using the inside pockets. Because the inside zipper pockets are pretty deep, it takes up space from the center compartment. Overall, super stylish and great bag to use as a purse or diaper bag.I ordered 5 similar bags to test as diaper bags and this is the one I kept to replace a similar bag that opened along the back that just didn't have enough organization/pockets for a diaper bag. This one is great because the big pocket on the front can hold wipes and two diapers (or a change of toddler clothes) which frees up the inside space for snacks, toys etc. Many interior pockets. The two side pouches keep a water bottle and sunscreen/bugspray handy.I would love a little clip on the interior for keys but that's my only change. I really like how the zipper is right along the back seam and not in the middle of the primary area.I needed a bag that could hold my Macbook Pro and some work documents and accessories without looking like a sporty backpack or super formal briefcase. This was a great blend, because it looks professional enough for my needs but stylish enough for it to be usable in my everyday life. It's durable enough for my purposes so far too, though I wouldn't put it through excessive wear. I got the dark green color that gets me a ton of compliments - I have directed plenty of people to this link. Look out for sales, you can get a really great price.We recently took a local beach trip and I needed a comfortable backpack to carry the necessary essentials. After perusing many reviews, I chose this is in the goldenrod yellow color. It’s so soft and has so many pockets!!! The straps can be extended and shortened as needed. Very comfortable and perfect size!! The zippers seem poor and I feel like they will give out too soon. They are already slowing down and snagging and it’s only been a few months. It is super cute and I’ve had so many complements when out and about. For the price point, it’s a great purchase!TL;DR version:-Lots of compliments on it-Versatility in carrying options...great for active lifestyle-Great pockets...special pocket for keeping pickpockets away and cash safe-DurableFull Review:The compliments just don't stop. Everyone thinks this backpack is amazing! I carry it like a purse. Sometimes my husband will carry it for me and even he gets compliments on it. I love the versatility in carrying it. I can sling it on like a backpack or I can carry it like a shoulder purse. If need be, I can even just grab the handle like a handbag and go. It fits my life very well because of those features. I like the pockets and different storage areas. Especially the one that faces your back. I carry my important items like cell phone and cash there. While I'm wearing the backpack, no one can pick that pocket! It's an added layer of protection. This baby is on the ground regularly, in the dirt, tossed about, stepped on by kids, and I've even spilled coffee in and on it. It cleans up well. I absolutely love it and will purchase another when this wears down.I love the bag! It’s a great size, not too big (only holds about 3 of my class stuff. Better carry on or purse than backpack. Side pockets won’t fit my 32 oz hydro flask but that’s not a surprise. The thing I noticed was it has a slight purple hue. Pictures showed grey but it’s not. Strap clearly shows difference between bag and the grey color of the strap. I still like it. Gonna order the wine color when it’s available.Love the style of this backpack, the color, and it “looks well made”. Since the description pictures show that you can carry a laptop, I started using mine to carry my laptop, (weighs less than 5lbs), after 2-3 times of doing this, I noticed the stitching where the straps are attached were stretched out and beginning to tear. It does not seem you can carry much weight with this backpack. It also seems like you can carry quite a bit but there is not that much room inside.I can't tell you how much I love this bag. It's comfortable to wear, looks amazing and has so many pockets and compartments it really is just so handy! I've had it for a while now and it's still in great condition. If this ever does break, I'll get another exactly like it. Would wholeheartedly recommend.I wanted a strong backpack which was roomy and stylish and it is both. It takes my folder and ipad as well as lots of smaller items. I like the side pockets which are flexible. It is not quite as rigid at the back as I would like so I will probably keep a folder at the back to make it stronger - I carry one most of the time anyway ! I often carry art materials and it will carry most of what I need. It appears waterproof. I probably won't trust the back zip for valuables because the back is not rigid enough to hide it. However I am very pleased with it the bag and intend to use it constantly.Love this bag, just what I needed for an everyday bag when I have my son with me. Great for carrying snacks and extra bits when out with a 4years old. Two bottle holders, and lots of compartments. Great to be hands free as a backpack but also can simple garb and put over shoulder if preferred.After having this bag not long at all the supposed "strongest zip" (the metal one at the front) has stopped zipping up. So now that pocket is constantly open. For a bag that's £50 I expected it to last a lot longer. Was able to fix the zip temporarily at first but then it just broke again and can't fix it at all now.
