Review on JOY SUSAN Colette Backpack Light Backpacks by Sonya Lewis

I LOVE this backpack! I recommended it and showed it to a friend and she bought it straight away - she loves it too. Key selling point: It's durable, vegan, not leather - great! The second advantage: it is very spacious. I packed everything I needed for my graduation in it and looked stylish the whole time. I took snacks, a large bottle of water, my wallet, cosmetics and keys, other people's things they didn't want to take, and a gift (manual) from my professor. I was so glad to have him that day. As with most bags, it can be difficult to dig and find things in, so I have one piece of advice: pack your stuff the same way every time - keys and phone in the same pocket, I use a zip pocket on the back . Use larger items like books and laptops to separate the front and back. For example, I place my glasses case and water bottle in front of large flat objects. I also bought a small pouch to keep track of lipstick and other small things that might float on the bottom. I find the sewn-in pockets too small and flimsy for my needs, so I only use them occasionally, but that doesn't really matter. My laptop, 13 x 9, fits well and the bag needs "massage" to close, but I found strong metal clasps on either side of the bag opening that can be opened to give enough room for my computer (and other items! ) in it without difficulty. My laptop fits if I fit it at an angle instead of leaning it against my back. There is room for other items. Due to the shape of the bag - wider at the bottom - I prefer to hang the backpack by the top loop so the material doesn't wrinkle. Maybe not, but that's my aesthetic preference. The straps are adjustable and comfortable, with a woven reinforcement on the inside that gently wraps around my shirt or shoulders without being in the way at all. I use my bag for formal occasions like graduations and also for long walks in the woods. Another review mentioned difficulties with the front latch, I haven't had any issues with it and I think it looks nice but also increases security. It's easy to clean and the gray color is so classic. My friend bought a burgundy/wine, also classic. Buy this backpack!
