Review on ๐ŸŽ’ Gootium Leather Canvas Backpack Rucksack: Vintage Style meets Durability & Functionality by Kimberly Sanders

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great holdall for luggage and travel gear

Like all Gootium bags I've bought this bag is very well made. The canvas is thick, the stitching is secure, and the leather is real leather. The bag holds a surprising amount of stuff, but is small enough to pass as my "personal item" on the plane. With that and a small carry-on, I can pack enough for a two-week trip, including snacks, a large DLS camera, iPad, Kindle, wallet, boots, clothes, toiletries, and more. The bag is also very attractive and I received several compliments during a long layover at the airport. There's a flap-closed external pocket that's perfect for items I want quick access to. The main compartment is not only protected by a flap that snaps shut, but also has a zip closure for added security. In the main compartment there are several pockets - one with a zipper and a laptop pocket. The pockets were great for preventing small items from getting lost at the bottom of my stuff. The zip pocket was the perfect place to store my phone and wallet. Because the bag is so well made, it was a bit heavy even when empty. But once it was loaded with my stuff and I lugged it through the airport, the weight wasn't an issue. I used the handle and back straps for carrying - everything is strong enough to take the weight. The bag is also the perfect size to put on top of my carry-on and carry around the airport.
