Review on 👜 Versatile Women's Canvas Shoulder Bag Backpack - Ideal for Work, Travel, and Daily Use by Amber Hickman

Thought of returning it as I was looking for a softer, smaller backpack like the Musette. The only issue I have with this wallet/bag is that if you try to use it as a backpack you will need someone else's help as the straps are not secured. If you put one hand in, the strap on the other side is so tight that you can't get your other hand in. Also the top fixed strap is useless and in the way. An adjustable strap can be used instead of a fixed strap. Oooooh, I cut off the fixed strap and am able to thread the adjustable strap through the top two buckles. That didn't solve my problem with it as a backpack, but it can be used over the shoulder, crossbody (adjustable to any length) and also as a backpack if you can solve the strap issue. I never used a backpack as a kid, so I'm a bit clumsy. I think with a little practice the backpacking problem will get better. Other than that, it's a great bag, the right size for a woman or man (I'm 5'4" and it's not too big, and my husband's is 5'9" and it fits him too). Very well made, the color (dark grey) is really nice and all the storage spaces make sense. The fabric is heavy but flexible. I'll use it on the plane instead of my usual bulky bag and my small crossbody bag, and then I can take it for a short walk, go to the beach, take groceries with me. I gave 4 stars instead of 5 because of the backpack problem. (I think I could use 2 alligator clips to clamp the straps if I use it as a backpack). I can come back to this review after my vacation.
