Review on Fashion Genuine Leather Backpack Shoulder by Heather Aragon

Bought this as a contender for my holdall whilst in Italy. I love love the look. However, as many have noted, the photo does not convey the correct RED message. This is not a warm red but a colder, deeper red. I was expecting this because others have said, but I was a bit disappointed nonetheless. What I like about it - Appearance - I would definitely think it's a designer if I saw someone wearing it. The size allows me to only take what I need instead of packing everything I think I might need. Numerous pockets - here the zipper on the back was a big advantage for me. I love the accessible zip pocket to keep the euro handy without having to flaunt all my items when making a small purchase. I also like the central zip pocket in the main compartment. I can put my credit cards in and not have to worry about them falling out. I also like that there are 2 zippers in each compartment. I recently test rode a much more expensive one and it only had one zipper that had to go all the way. I found what I want. 2. LOVE I love how the straps work. I can wear crossbody, which I do most of the time, but I can also slip on in backpack mode. Things I don't really care about - lightning bolts - although they slide easily, they can slide too easily. Worried they might come off if I use them. Also, I'm worried that the hardware might come loose soon. I've been thinking about buying spare gold just in case. And most importantly, the fabric lining is very cheap and noisy. The lining can be a real selling point for me. I like bright and high quality. I ended up wondering if I would see anyone with this on their back at the airport, what would I think. My answer is I would love it and think they are freaking awesome. So I keep it.
