Review on 🌸 Malirona Floral Pattern Canvas Messenger Bag: Women's Cross Body Purse for Travel, Shoulder Satchel by Nicole Parker

Revainrating 5 out of 5

I love this shoulder bag for my MTG Deck Boxes bag!

Arrived quickly, in perfect new condition, the colors are very bright, beautiful, clear. Added four pics so you can see it contains 3 100+ deck boxes in the main zippered compartment that fits snugly on the bottom (2 x 100+ side window chroma skins, blue and red, and 1 pink Ultimate Guard 100+ deck box boulder) ; and can have 1-2 more boxes on it for a deck of 100 cards and still zip it up, it's completely closed and the pocket doesn't even protrude too much (picture of a zipped pocket with 5 boxes for a deck of 100 + in the main compartment and you can see it from the side) that the bag still feels pretty flat and can easily hold more stuff without bulging excessively. The strap is a very strong thick canvas strap that doesn't strain to hold 250 cards and 5 deck boxes of 100+ so it can easily carry a good amount of weight. The front flap is just a flap, nothing is attached to the bottom of the flap, and there are 2 long pockets (like one big pocket but sewn in the middle to make 2 pockets instead), the pockets are wider than any smartphone and deep enough, anyone can be introduced to any of them. Calculator, small notebook, pens/pencils/single double layer pencil case etc. Nothing too bulky or wide will fit in. There's only one wide pocket at the back of the bag, but it seems able to fit bulkier items than the front pockets, even with the sewn-in divider removed. There are 2 zippered compartments: 1 medium and 1 extra large main compartment. Inside the large compartment hanging from the top on one side, there is an additional small zippered compartment that can hold a wallet, smartphone, etc. The center compartment has room for 1-2 deck drawers as well as room for other less bulky items, but sticks out the front of the bag more than the boxes in the main compartment. I can see how this medium sized compartment could be used for a folded gamepad and dice case (1 hard glasses holder) and maybe a wallet/phone as it's a smaller zipped pocket so feel more secure with them in the zipped area but I find them faster than below in the largest zip area. A sealed pack of plain notebook paper (with 3 holes in it) will not fit in the large compartment that enters with the wide side, the zipper is smaller than the long side of the paper. Sealed paper packaging fits in the large section, short side entrance and is deep enough to fit all the way in, zipper closes easily. Thus, a notepad that is almost the same size as the paper itself fits in. Research/project proposal folder slides that are roughly the same size as the paper itself, just with a transparent front and a slide containing documents inside. If you were to carry around a 3 ring notebook it would be too small for one, even a 1/2 inch 3 ring binder would probably be too tall and possibly too wide to fit in the large compartment. It can hold a 3 prong foldable folder. It's not very soft, the back pocket is lightly padded. and quilted. The front flap is also quilted and slightly thicker/padded with extra fabric. The divider between the middle zipped compartment and the large zipped compartment is made of only 1 piece of fabric, only 1 layer of fabric. In the large compartment, the front with the light polka dot pattern is visible and the back with the translucent faded polka dot pattern is what you see. in the middle part. The rest of the bag is made from a single layer of thick paisley canvas material. As such, it is very durable and will fit in a regular handbag or canvas backpack (although it will only fit in a small backpack, not a large regular size). I wouldn't put a tablet or laptop in it and drop it on a table or other hard surface, it doesn't protect it from screen splinters. If you do not toss and do not throw, but carefully put, then everything is fine. Inserts for tablets/phones or photo gear (padded DSLR/tablet/laptop inserts are likely to fit in the larger compartment).
