Review on πŸŽ’ Fossil Men's Brown Backpack 12": The Perfect Blend of Style and Functionality by Corey Slivinsky

Revainrating 5 out of 5

So cute my wife got it for herself

I've loved everything I've ordered over the past few months happy to receive it. It's been a long time since I had a nice backpack in my life and when I saw it appear on screen I bought it without hesitation. Unfortunately my wife was at home when the package arrived and now she is her up, It goes without saying that this bag is clearly unisex. With bags this can be a difficult balancing act and I always think of an episode of Friends, in which Joey starts to carry a rather elegant and effeminate crossbody bag, but Fossil did a good job of making sure that this bag will please everyone. The look is fairly classic, with no frills to detract from the quality leather, and this bag lacks the signature skeleton detailing that seems like a staple of most Fossil bags. That's not the bag. It's more like working horse than decoration. The leather is so thick and durable that opening the main and laptop compartments can be a little tricky. However, it's not bad. It only speaks to the strength of the bag and the leather will likely soften with use. There are many pockets and they are well thought out. I especially like the zippered pocket at the top of the bag, which is handy for phones, keys, wallets, and anything else you want to have close at hand. Again, thanks to the thickness of the leather, this is not a bag that would be easy for a thief to slip into without your knowledge. The main compartment is surprisingly roomy, and the zipper allows it to be opened just wide enough to keep the bag intact when the compartment is fully open. In other words, if you're at the airport trying to pull out something that needs to be scanned separately, the bag's contents won't fall apart when you pull the tablet out of the main compartment. The only thing I don't like about her. This bag has a padded back. I would have preferred a full leather construction, but that's just my preference. I know the padded mesh back offers the protection you need for a laptop and if my wife hadn't taken the bag for herself I'm sure I would have come to appreciate the padding over time. All in all, it's an easy 5 stars. It's well made, attractive but tough as nails. This is the kind of bag that can hold anything you can throw in and come out great on the other side. I'll steal it again in a few days :)
