Xfetta!! Io la uso come porta computer!

I bought my bag about a year ago, and it's my number one go-to bag for pretty much EVERYTHING: work meetings, beach trips, weekend outings, as a gym bag, and of course the day to day use. As a writer and student I carry a laptop, journals, notebooks, small textbooks, pencil case, charging cable case, wallet, water bottle, etc around at all times. Sometimes I also carry my lunch, or even extra clothes. Somehow, it all fits... snugly, but fits nonetheless! I have a small laptop and it fits perfectly--that is, of course, if I don't zip it. I cram this bag to the brim almost daily as I live in a city, commute everywhere all the time and rarely have the chance to go home. Full disclosure: it would just barely zip over my laptop's case, but after one too many times of me forcing the zipper when it obviously didn't want to go, I busted it (totally my own fault--the laptop case was simply too big). Before then, though, the zipper was perfect, and set my mind at ease during crowded train rides since nobody could just reach in. I travel all the time, it's the perfect size to put behind my legs on a bus or in my lap on a train. A small umbrella or thin water bottle (I have tall glass 18oz and short glass 10oz bottles) will fit the pockets, but the pockets also make a good home for sunglasses. The color I got (yellow) has begun to fade throughout constant use, sun bleaching, cleaning up coffee spills or other stains, etc. It may not be as vibrant after a year of such hard use, but the color is still pretty all the same! It is now a light yellow, and looks like it'll eventually fade to become pastel yellow. Lastly, this bag is STURDY. I wasn't entirely sure it would be since it was only $20, but let me tell you, I have put this bag through the ringer. Other than the zipper (which was totally my own fault), all the seams are still perfectly strong, the straps are still secure and comfortable even when the bag is heavy, and all in all, except for the color fade, this bag is pretty much structurally the same as when I bought it. I would give this bag 11/10 stars. I don't often rate things, but this bag is fantastic and if you want a light, sturdy, messenger bag, this one is it!!!

This tote is well made and serves its purpose. It has 2 side pockets than can hold 16oz water bottles. But, when using the side pockets with water bottles, it makes the tote slightly narrower in width. I bought this for my music carry all. It will hold a 1” 3 ring binder, a large wallet, a hair crush and several more softbound music books. One downfall, the zipper is recessed and placed lower from the top, so I am unable to zip the totes shut when carrying my music books and notebook. Also, there is an inside pocket with no zipper, most things placed in that pocket are not secure. I like the bag and the yellow color. I will keep it and use it for day trips as it holds my iPad and I can still zip the bag closed, even with a water bottle on each side . Well worth the money, but not suitable for notebooks if you want to zip the bag shut.

Pros: • Feels sturdy and well made • Functional design • Cross body strap extends long enough for a not-tiny girl to wear (I’m tall and broad, and often find that cross body bags hang awkwardly high on my frame) • Dual handles are great for different carrying needs Cons: Not many! But: •Smells weird (even my dog thinks so, and this is after Febreezing and leaving outside overnight) •The color isn’t quite what is pictured. I thought the yellow would be sunnier, but it’s more mustardy. Not bad at all, and perfect for fall and very “in” with the subdued color pallets that are trending right now. Just not what I was expecting or wanting. I’m a teacher and this is perfect for carrying stacks of quizzes and tests, clipboards, a pencil pouch, calculator and the side pocket is perfect for my reading glasses in a case. You can fit a bottle of water (disposable, like Dasani, or a 20 oz soda ,etc) in the side pocket if the contents of the main compartment are small enough - so, for instance, I can’t have a bottle in the side pocket if I have textbooks in the bag. The side pockets won’t fit any of my reusable bottles. Anyway, super cute and functional. I wouldn’t hesitate to buy again or recommend, just be warned that the color might be slightly off.
